★AZ featuring Ash Body & Rosewood Fretboard New Model!!
Introducing the new AZ2402 model, featuring the distinctive, three-dimensional grain of ash wood!
The popular 24-fret HH model / Featuring a sandblasted finish that highlights the unique grain of the ash wood and the natural texture of the wood itself.

〜Features〜
Ash Body
Features ash wood, known for its clear, well-defined sound with excellent projection.
The sandblasted finish highlights the distinctive three-dimensional grain of the ash wood while preserving the natural texture of the wood itself.

An ergonomic body back contour
This original body shape was designed with a contemporary aesthetic in mind.
The slim body contour and generous elbow contour create a sense of unity between the player and the guitar, significantly contributing to improved playability.
Additionally, the deep body curve ensures excellent handling when held or on stage, delivering superior playability.
The radius of the corners differs between the front and back of the body, creating an ergonomic design that provides an immediate sense of fit the moment you hold the guitar, whether sitting or standing.

AZ-exclusive Oval C-shaped 1-piece S-TECH WOOD roasted maple neck
This original neck shape was developed after measuring and analyzing the neck grips of dozens of guitars, both from our own company and others.
The neck features a comfort grip with a gently tapered profile from the joint between the fingerboard and neck to the fingerboard edge, and a rounded fingerboard edge.
This shape is accurately and reliably reproduced through ball milling.
The shape is specifically designed to ensure a comfortable grip in the lower fret area and to facilitate classical-style playing—where the thumb rests on the back of the neck—as you move up to the higher frets.
Maple wood treated with "Estec," a nitrogen heating process, is used.
Estec-treated wood is characterized by dimensional stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes, and the technology is patented in Japan.
Additionally, the finish features an oil finish that gives it the texture of a well-played guitar neck.

Super All Access Neck Joint
The "Super All Access" neck joint achieves superior playability by featuring an 8mm stepped cut from the back of the body and a spherical finish at the neck joint.
The cutaway on the bass string side is designed to be shallow, maximizing the contact area between the body and the neck to achieve both excellent sustain and resonance while maintaining high playability.

Rosewood Fingerboard & Jumbo-Size Stainless Steel Frets
The rosewood fingerboard features a balanced sound character and a warm tone.
Stainless steel frets are used, offering excellent maintainability, fast attack, good separation when playing chords, and clear sound when playing single notes.
Jumbo-sized frets are used, which allow for light fingering and excel at playing fast passages and smooth bends.

Luminlay Phosphorescent Side Dot Position Inlays
We have adopted luminescent dot position inlays that boast high visibility, helping you adapt to rapidly changing performance environments caused by lighting.

Hyperion pickups co-developed with Seymour Duncan
We acquired over dozens of different pickups and measured the frequency characteristics of every single one.
From these, we identified the specifications and sound profile deemed optimal for the AZ. This AZ-exclusive pickup was born from a collaboration with Seymour Duncan—a brand synonymous with pickups that boasts a long history while continuing to innovate today.
These custom pickups are designed with a slightly restrained output to retain the clarity of the original sound even when distorted, prioritizing picking responsiveness and reproducibility.
From treble to bass, and from the first string to the sixth, we prioritized overall balance and pursued excellent compatibility with effects.
All pickups feature Alnico-5 magnets.

dyna-MIX 10 switching system w/Alter switch
With a single flip of the mini-switch, you can freely switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, offering 10 different sound variations.
You can switch to Power Tap mode to achieve a realistic single-coil sound. Featuring special wiring that taps one coil while utilizing the low-end of the other, this mode delivers clear high frequencies and a thick, well-defined sound that cannot be achieved with a standard tap.

Ibanez T1802 Tremolo Bridge (manufactured by Gotoh) with titanium saddles* Mount: Features a wide range of arm movement and a recessed mounting design into the body.
This bridge is a collaboration between Ibanez and Gotoh, reimagining the Gotoh 510 bridge—widely regarded by many players and guitar brands as the definitive tremolo bridge.
Featuring hard-machined titanium saddles and a machined steel inertia block, it achieves both a quick attack and a solid, fat sound, while also delivering extended high-end response.
With a narrow 10.5mm string spacing design, it prioritizes ease of cross-string picking—a requirement for players who frequently use skipping and hybrid picking techniques.

Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads with H.A.P. function for adjustable post height
Features Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads, renowned for their tuning stability.
Equipped with the H.A.P. (Height Adjustable Post) mechanism, the post height can be adjusted to achieve the appropriate tension for each string.

The spring-muting rubber
A rubber spring mute installed to suppress the "resonance" of the springs that often occurs on tremolo-bridge-type guitars.
