Taking adaptability to new extremes, the AZ series has established itself and carved out a place that spans everything from the warmest blues licks, to the most intense, shred-heavy metal riffs. Carrying this ethos forward, the AZ line embodies time-tested Ibanez innovation and player-focused features like a smooth, oval neck grip, a well-balanced asymmetrical body shape, and the neck heel allowing for unrivaled playability.
The Flamed Maple top displays a beautiful wood grain. The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance and sustain. The Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes. Jatoba has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end. Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes. Locking machine heads ensure accurate and stable tuning. The Super All Access Neck Joint increases playability and allows for easy access to the higher frets.
Ibanez Modern Custom pickups feature a dual humbucker configuration with alnico V magnets. They offer powerful tone and a quick response, which pair especially well with overdrive and distortion. The T106 tremolo bridge with 6 independent saddles makes precise height and intonation adjustment of each string easy. The dyna-MIX 10 offers ten sound variations and can easily switch from humbucker and single coil modes with the mini switch. The power Tap mode provides a realistic single coil sound despite its two humbucker pickup layout.
