Ibanez AZ Premium 6-String Electric Guitar with Roasted Maple Fretboard (Deep Ocean Blonde)

The Ibanez AZ Series redefines adaptability, taking it to new extremes with the warmest blue licks to heavy metal riffs. With a smooth, oval neck grip and a well-balanced asymmetrical body shape and neck heel offers unmatched playability. This premium electric guitar is made from select tone woods and advanced electronics and hardware.  Its rich features will open gates of opportunities for its players with its immense versatility and top-quality results.

The guitar features a quilted maple top that elevates the picking response and the American Basswood body helps lend a natural and flat tone to its results. The neck features a heat-treated roasted maple construction that increases its stability and durability. The super all access neck joint increases playability significantly and allows for easy access to the frets that are positioned higher. The resistance to moisture and temperature changes likewise. To retain massive sustain and stability, the neck features graphite reinforcement rods. The model has a heat-treated roasted maple fretboard delivering a well-balanced attack and tone combined with a rich sustain. To achieve supreme neck grip comfort, the fretboard edge has smooth curve finish. The fretboard has corrosion-resistant jumbo stainless steel frets that offer quick response and effortless articulation when chords are played. Playing single notes result in clear tones.

It has Seymour Duncan Hyperion S-S-H Pickups that give away a moderate output through Alnico-5 magnets to keep the clarity of the fundamental tone when distortion is used and to deliver a clear pick attack. Be it treble or bass, the overall tonal balance is adjustable and works beautifully with different effect pedals.

The 6-string guitar features Gotoh MG-T locking machine that helps to attain incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time. The bridge is a T1502 tremolo featuring steel saddles and a die-cast zinc tremolo block. This combination offers quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing makes for easy picking across strings. The snap-in construction aids in loading a tremolo arm.

The guitar features dyna-MIX 10 switching system that offers ten sound variations and lets you make easy switching between humbucker and single coil modes with the mini switch. Despite its two humbucker pickup layout, the power Tap mode gives you a realistic single coil sound.

The luminescent side dot position marks enable the players to easily see the fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages or dimly-lit environment.

The electric guitar comes with an Ibanez gig bag tailored to fit the guitar for easy storage and traveling.

The contour on the rear is shallow and on the forearm it is large. This design makes the guitar body fit the player naturally, thereby increasing playing comfort. The deep waist and different radii on each body edge curve makes the guitar equally comfortable to play whether sitting or standing.
