Ibanez AZ2402 Prestige Guitar, Pink Flat, Hyperion Pickups, Roasted Maple Neck

Player's Perspective

For those that aren't afraid to rock a pink guitar, here's a really cool one!

From our friends over at Ibanez, here's an offering from their Prestige line. The construction from top to bottom is excellent and you can feel the extreme attention to all of the little details that was poured into this. Even down to how smooth the knobs turn, the guitar just works effortlessly for whatever you need it to do. The alter switch provides some awesome coil-tap sounds, including a power tap mode that maintains the bright and spanky single-coil characteristic but with a bit more oomph than what you end up with by simply coil-tapping the pickup (works awesome with distortion). With the power tap engaged, it really pumps out a very convincing single-coil tone.

This axe is excellent for anybody with a predisposition to shredding. The roasted maple neck is extremely comfortable and is just a joy under your fretting hand. The action can get dialed in very low without worrying about fret buzz. The Hyperion pickups from Seymour Duncan pack some serious punch to them and can really hit your pedals or the front end of your amp hard. They remain clear and articulate even while heavily saturated. They also clean up really nicely as well.

This is a thorough rocker, through and through, and is going to make for an awesome addition to a player's collection.
