AZ427P2QM

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 unrivalled playability.

****Product Features****

- Oval C Roasted Maple neck
The Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.

- Rosewood fretboard
Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

- Jumbo Stainless Steel frets
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.

- Quilted Maple top / American Basswood body
The Quilted Maple top sonically enriches the response for picking and the American Basswood body delivers a natural and flat tone.

- Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ H-H pickups
Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ Pickups feature a moderate output through Alnico-5 magnets to keep the clarity of the fundamental tone when using distortion and to deliver a clear pick attack. From treble to bass, the overall tonal balance is evenly adjusted and works well with various effect pedals.

- Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads
The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.

- Gotoh® T1572S tremolo
The T1572S tremolo bridge features steel saddles and a steel tremolo block for a quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings and its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm.

- dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch
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.

- Luminescent side dots
The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.

- Gig bag included
It comes with Ibanez gig bag which is designed specifically to fit and protect this instrument.

****Special Features****

- Super All Access Neck Joint
The Super All Access Neck Joint increases playability and allows for easy access to the higher frets.

- Ergonomic rear body contour
A shallow body back contour and a big forearm contour make the guitar body fit the player naturally, thus increasing playing comfort. The AZ body has a deep waist and different radii on each body edge curve, making it easier to play in both standing or sitting positions.
