Ibanez AZ2204NW Prestige HSS Rosewood Fretboard Guitar w/ Case – Gray Metallic

Information

Brand New with Warranty. We are an authorized Ibanez Dealer.

The AZ-N Prestige series tweaks the AZ recipe slightly with a compound radius rosewood fretboard, lower output Seymour Duncan pickup set, and Gotoh non-recessed trem featuring brass block and saddles. Elements consistent with other AZ models include the nicely-rounded roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets, and Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners. In addition to the standard pickup selections on the 5-way switch, the Alter Switch gives you access to great pickups-in-series options, Tele-like outer pickup selection and humbucker coil split.

Rosewood fretboard

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

Compound Radius Fretboard (228mm to 305mm)

Offering the best of both worlds, the digitized compound radius fretboard of the AZ-N is built to enhance both smooth chording and lead work in the upper register.

5 tremolo springs

Five tremolo springs allow string vibration to be more efficiently transferred to the guitar body.

Non-recessed bridge cavity

While the AZ series features a recessed bridge cavity for fluid and dynamic tremolo action, this model has non-recessed bridge cavity. The direct contact between bridge plate and the guitar body provides better resonance and helps facilitate subtle nuances in playing dynamics.

dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch

The dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single coil modes with just a flick of the mini switch. One mode even simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single coil pickups.

Seymour Duncan® Fortuna™ S-S-H pickups

Seymour Duncan® Fortuna™ Pickups feature a moderate output and natural clean voicing which accurately reflect subtle playing nuances. From treble to bass, the overall tonal balance is evenly adjusted and works well with various effect pedals.

Gotoh® T1702B tremolo bridge

The T1702B tremolo bridge provides 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. The tremolo block and saddles are made of brass, facilitating better overall resonance.

Oval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck

The 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.

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.

Gotoh® Magnum Lock machine heads w/H.A.P.(Height Adjustable Post)

GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® machine heads 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.

Luminlay side dot inlays

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

Super All Access Neck Joint

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