IBANEZ AZ22S2 STANDARD BLACK

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 unrivaled playability.

- Alder body : The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance and sustain.

- Ibanez Classic Custom pickups : Ibanez Classic Custom pickups offer a versatile tonal palette, combining the warm, clear sound of alnico neck and middle single-coil pickups with the powerful, dynamic output of a ceramic bridge humbucker. This unique blend delivers precise articulation and expressive tone."
