Description

is an AZ series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2018. It is produced in Indonesia as part of the mid-tier Premium line.

Even though Ibanez is thought of as a modern guitar brand, we have decades of accumulated knowledge and a history of pushing the boundaries. The AZ series carries with it all of the hallmarks of these tried and tested Ibanez qualities: the smooth oval neck grip, the well balanced asymmetrical body shape, and the neck heel allowing unrivaled playability.

The AZ224F features a flamed maple top on an American basswood body bolted to a roasted maple neck with a roasted maple fingerboard with 22 stainless steel frets, black dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include a Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups mounted in a white pearloid pickguard with a humbucker at the bridge and single-coils in the neck and middle positions, a T1502 two-point synchronized tremolo bridge made by Gotoh, a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut and Gotoh locking tuning machines with height-adjustable posts.

The AZ224F employs a dyna-MIX9 switching system with an “Alter switch” toggle which allows the user to access nine distinct tones. The Alter switch allows the player to access two modes with the single coils connected in series creating a tone similar to a second humbucker.
