Ibanez AZ Prestige AZ2402-GRM Gray Metallic
Ibanez believes that there is no basis for a good guitar sound, and that it is the sound you are looking for.
We also believe that individual parts and designs are not independent, but that by synchronizing with each other, the sound character is defined, and as a result, you can get the sound you are looking for.
In order to achieve the sound required by modern players, AZ has the DNA of guitar making that Ibanez has accumulated throughout its history.
The Ibanez AZ series is a fusion of modernity and experience, a new standard created by time and the times.
AZOvalCS-TECHWOODRoastedMapleneck
The fingerboard and neck are made of Estech treated maple wood. Estec treatment is a nitrogen heat treatment technology developed in Miyagi Prefecture for wood, and is the first in the world to use it as guitar material.
ESTEC Wood has characteristics such as shape stability, durability against warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes, and has been patented in Japan for these characteristics.
As a result of numerous prototypes and verifications, we concluded that the best neck thickness is 20.5*22.5 (at1F*12F). In addition, the finish uses an oil finish with a texture similar to the neck of a played guitar.
GotohT1802tremolobridge
The GOTOH510 bridge, which has a reputation as the definitive tremolo bridge for many players and guitar brands, has been reborn in collaboration with Ibanez and GOTOH.
It uses a hard machined titanium saddle and a machined steel inertia block to achieve both a good start-up and a solid and fat sound, and it also features a long high range. With a narrow spacing design of 10.5mm between strings, we have pursued the ease of picking across strings required by players who frequently use skipping and hybrid picking.
In addition, it uses an arm socket that can be used with the Ibanez Edge tremolo arm and the Ultra Light Tremolo Arm Carbon UTA20 (sold separately). The arm can be attached with a snap-in without having to be rotated like a conventional arm. You can easily adjust the torque of the tremolo arm by rotating the torque cap on the arm attachment part. In addition, a stud lock mechanism is also as standard, which greatly contributes to tuning stability and resonance by firmly fixing the instrument with a set screw embedded in the stud. Adopts 2-point floating support that allows smooth arming and arm-up.
S-TECHWOODRoastedMapleFretboard
With the aim of ensuring that the sound does not become clogged even when using a large bending width, and that stress is not placed on the fingers and hands during chord work, we have worked through multiple trials and errors to create several types of prototypes that address multiple issues such as the combination with the neck. This is the 305mmR fingerboard that we arrived at.
dyna-MIX10switchingsystemw Alterswitch
You can freely switch between humbucker and single-coil modes with the flip of a mini switch, ensuring a wide variety of sound variations. This is a switching system for modern guitar players who must play multiple roles with limited equipment.
Alter switch
HH model Switches to PowerTap mode, which provides realistic single coil sound. One coil is tapped, and the other coil has special wiring that takes advantage of the low range.It features a clear high range and a thick, well-defined sound that cannot be obtained by just tapping.
GotohMagnumLockmachineheadsw H.A.P.(HeightAdjustablePost)
GOTOH Magnum Lock machine head, which has a reputation for tuning stability, is used.
Equipped with the H.A.P HeightAdjustablePost mechanism, the post height can be adjusted to obtain the appropriate tension for each string.
Luminlaysidedotinlay
It uses 3.0mm diameter phosphorescent material dot positions that boast high visibility and can cope with performance environments that change rapidly due to lighting and other factors. You'll never lose sight of the sound you want to play even on a dark stage.
SuperAllAccessNeckJoint
This is a "SuperAllAccess" neck joint that achieves high playability by carving a step from the back of the body with a height difference of 8mm, and by finishing the joint with the neck with a spherical surface.
The cutaway on the bass string side is designed to be shallow, and by maximizing the area between the body and neck, it maintains high playability while also achieving both good sustain and resonance.
