Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Ibanez Prestige AZ2204F in a beautiful and transparent aqua blue over a flame maple top.

Ibanez's Prestige series guitars offer some of the best bang-for-your-buck value in the hard rock/metal guitar world. This AZ is perfect for anyone who wants superior craftsmanship and incredible playability on a rock n roll guitar with simple and classy aesthetics. The roasted maple neck and fretboard give it a high-end and boutique feel. The simple control layout gives you flexibility and versatility without being complicated.

The Duncan Hyperion pickups in this one give you a modern sound with plenty of oomph to handle high gain, but also gives you an entire extra set of tones from the 5-way switch thanks to the 2-way mini-toggle switch. You're able to achieve 10 completely unique and, more importantly, completely musical pickup configurations.

The neck has that super fast, comfortable feel that Ibanez has perfected over the years. It's a bit more of a traditional feeling neck that has some roundness to it and isn't paper thin. It'll feel great for anyone coming from that world of strats and tele's, for example. The fretwork is immaculate to help you achieve super low action. If you need a guitar that won't slow you down, especially in the mid to upper registers, you'll love how the fingerboard responds. This can easily become your next lifelong shredder axe.

Manufacturer's Description

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.

There are three principles behind our new Ibanez Prestige line: Precision, Performance, and Playability. The combination of high-tech manufacturing techniques with old-world Japanese craftsmanship, true innovation in design and construction, and the incorporation of ideas and suggestions from musicians from around the world are the cornerstones of the Prestige production process.

Features

AZ Oval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck
S-TECH special roasted treatment increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes. The neck is sealed with an oil finish which helps make it feel similar to a well-played guitar neck.

S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple fretboard w/Black dot inlay
S-TECH special roasted treatment provides a superior attack and a well-balanced tone and a rich sustain. In order to achieve supreme neck grip comfort, the fretboard edge is finished with a smooth curve.

Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ Pickups
Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ Pickups feature a moderate output through Alnico-5 magnets to keep the clarity of the fundamental tone when using a distortion sound, 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.

dyna-MIX 9 switching system w/Alter switch
dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations, and can easily switch between humbucker and single coil modes with just the mini switch. One mode is even able to simulate a humbucker sound from the combination of the 2 single coil pickups.

Gotoh® T1802 tremolo bridge
T1802 tremolo bridge features machined titanium saddles and a machined steel tremolo block for a quick response, thick lows and rich highs. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings. Its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm.

Oil-impregnated Bone nut /Stainless Steel Frets
The Oil-impregnated bone nut provides superior tuning stability and warm rich resonance. Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response, good articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes.

Luminlay side dot inlay
The Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.

Gotoh® Magnum Lock machine heads w/H.A.P.(Height Adjustable Post)
The AZ comes with GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® machine heads, which have an established reputation for tuning stability. Its H. A. P® (Height Adjustable Post). system allows for the adjustment of string posts for the appropriate tension of each string.

Super All Access Neck Joint
The Super All Access Neck Joint offers superior playability with its 8mm concave curve from the body top to the spherical surface of the joint area. By maximizing the joint area between the body and the neck, sustain and resonance are increased as well.
