"I" in Spanish is pronounced as a long "e".
I pronounce it "e (as in "see")- bahn- (as in "autobahn")- ez (as in "fez"). Slight accent on the second syllable.

The correct answer is Hoshino.
I'm not entirely sure of the history of the name, but I think Hoshino picked up the Ibanez brand from someone with that Spanish surname. So, technically, I suppose it's "ee-bahn-yez". In the States, as many have said, I almost always hear it pronounced "eye-buh-nez" Having had many of them over the years, that the name and I'm stickin' with it.

One day a local joking gc worker called it an "I-been-used". I can't look at one without thinking about pronouncing it that way...

The correct pronunciation is dependent on what your native tongue is. North america (above Mexico) I-ban-ez. South of Texas E-ban-ez. Sounds like in The Netherlands, it's E-ban-ez as well. Maybe a British brother member will add the UK 2-cents. So there's really no wrong pronunciation.

When I lived in the Philippines, I pronouced it as "ee-bahn-yes". But I've lived in the States longer, so I've adopted the North American version: "I've been had"...
KIDDING! I've been calling it "Eye-bah-nez".

Back in the 70's
We called them "I been had", b/c they were inexspesive knock-offs.

I met some folks in the Ozarks who pronounced Toyota Tie OH Tee, so anything is possible.

This is what I am used to, also. The pronunciation, "eee-ban-nyez" is for latin baseball players, isn't it? Or maybe the name comes from the same place...

Ahm-sterrr-dahm and ee-bahn-ez (though I have always pronounced them Am-ster-dam and eye-ban-ez respectively is is typically done here in the US).

if Ibanez is spanish word, is ee - van (the "v" is in beetween the "b" of "banner" and the "v" of "revolver"; the "a" sounds like the "u" in "Run") - ez (like "let's" without "l")
