We perform a functional check on all parts of the instrument before shipping.\u003cbr\u003e \n* While we have included photos of the actual product, please note that the color and brightness may

“versatile clean tone”!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n~AZ Series Introduction~\u003cbr\u003e \nAt Ibanez, we believe that there is no single “correct” sound for a guitar; rather, it is all about the “sound you seek.”\u003cbr\u003e \nWe also believe that individual parts and designs are not independent of one another; rather, their sound character is defined through mutual harmony, ultimately allowing us to achieve the desired sound.\u003cbr\u003e \nTo realize the “sound” demanded by today’s players, the AZ series is infused throughout with the guitar-making DNA that Ibanez has accumulated over the years.\u003cbr\u003e \nA fusion of modernity and experience—a new standard born of time and the era—that is the Ibanez AZ Series.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n~Features~\u003cbr\u003e \nAZ Oval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple 1-piece neck\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck is crafted from maple that has undergone “S-TECH” treatment, a nitrogen-heating process.\u003cbr\u003e \nS-TECH-treated wood is characterized by dimensional stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and resilience to temperature changes; this technology is patented in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nRosewood Fretboard with Stainless Steel Frets\u003cbr\u003e \nFor the first time, AZ has adopted rosewood, which is characterized by a balanced sound and a warm tone.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt is the ideal material for the AZ-N, which was developed with a focus on clean tones suitable for a wide range of musical genres.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCompound Radius (228mm to 305mm) Fretboard\u003cbr\u003e \nThe compound radius fretboard was adopted to accommodate both tight chord forms in the low positions and lead playing in the high frets.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nLuminlay Side Dot Inlay\u003cbr\u003e \nWe’ve incorporated 3.0mm-diameter phosphorescent dot position markers that boast high visibility, helping you navigate rapidly changing performance environments caused by stage lighting and other factors.\u003cbr\u003e \nYou’ll never lose track of the notes you want to play, even on a dark stage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAn Ergonomic Body Back Contour\u003cbr\u003e \nThis original body shape was designed with a contemporary aesthetic in mind.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe slim body contour and generous elbow contour create a sense of unity between the player and the guitar, greatly contributing to improved playability.\u003cbr\u003e \nIn addition, the deep waist of the body allows for easy handling when cradling the guitar or on stage, delivering exceptional playability.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSuper All Access Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003e \nThe “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.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe cutaway on the bass-string side is designed to be shallow, maximizing the contact area between the body and the neck to deliver excellent playability while also providing excellent sustain and resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSeymour Duncan Fortuna Pickups with dyna-MIX 9 Switching System\u003cbr\u003e \nCompared to the Hyperion—a pickup co-developed with Seymour Duncan exclusively for AZ—the Fortuna, designed specifically for the AZ-N, was developed to deliver a more natural clean tone suitable for a wide range of genres and to make it easier to express playing nuances.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt is a medium-output pickup designed to work well with a variety of pedal effects that can be selected depending on the musical situation.\u003cbr\u003e \nIn combination with the Alter Switch, it features the dyna-MIX 9 switching system, which creates nine different sound variations, including a mode that connects the two single-coil pickups in series.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nNon-recessed bridge cavity\u003cbr\u003e \nUnlike previous AZ models, the top of the body has no recess.\u003cbr\u003e \nSince the bridge plate makes direct contact with the guitar body, this design offers improved expressiveness in dynamic range, enhanced reproduction of playing nuances, and superior resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n5 tremolo springs with muting rubber\u003cbr\u003e \nWe’ve adopted a five-spring configuration to transmit string vibrations to the body even more effectively.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt is equipped with rubber spring mutes to suppress “resonance” in the springs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nGotoh T1702B tremolo bridge\u003cbr\u003e \nThe AZ-N model is equipped with the T1702B tremolo bridge, which features brass saddles and an inertia block known for their warm, bright tone and excellent resonance.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe narrow-spacing design features a string spacing of 10.5 mm, designed to facilitate strumming across strings—a requirement for players who frequently use skipping and hybrid picking techniques.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt also features an arm socket compatible with the Ibanez Edge tremolo arm and the Ultra-Light Tremolo Arm (carbon fiber \/ UTA20 \/ sold separately).\u003cbr\u003e \nThe tremolo arm can be snapped into place without having to screw it in like traditional arms.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe tremolo arm’s tension can be easily adjusted by turning the torque cap at the arm mounting point.\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, it comes standard with a stud lock mechanism that contributes significantly to tuning stability and resonance by securely fastening the arm with a set screw embedded in the stud.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nBone Nut\u003cbr\u003e \nAn oil-impregnated cow bone nut is used.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis provides the smooth glide of the nut—which greatly contributes to tuning stability—while delivering the resonance characteristic of vintage guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nGotoh Magnum Lock Machine Heads w\/H.A.P.\u003cbr\u003e \nWe’ve equipped this guitar with Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads, renowned for their tuning stability.\u003cbr\u003e \nEquipped with the H.A.P. (Height Adjustable Post) mechanism, the post height can be adjusted to achieve the proper tension for each string.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n◆ Instrument Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n・Serial Number: F2630095\u003cbr\u003e \n・Weight: 3.43 kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n◆Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e \nSpecs\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck type: AZ Oval C \/ S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck\u003cbr\u003e \nTop\/Back\/Body: Alder body\u003cbr\u003e \nFretboard: Rosewood fretboard \/ Mother-of-Pearl dot inlay\u003cbr\u003e \nFrets: Jumbo stainless steel frets \/ Prestige fret edge treatment\u003cbr\u003e \nNumber of frets: 22\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge: Gotoh T1702B bridge\u003cbr\u003e \nString spacing: 10.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck pickup: Seymour Duncan Fortuna (S) neck pickup (Passive\/Alnico)\u003cbr\u003e \nMiddle pickup: Seymour Duncan Fortuna (S) middle pickup (Passive\/Alnico)\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge pickup: Seymour Duncan Fortuna (H) bridge pickup (Passive\/Alnico)\u003cbr\u003e \nFactory tuning: 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings: D'Addario EXL110\u003cbr\u003e \nString gauge: .010\/.013\/.017\/.026\/.036\/.046\u003cbr\u003e \nNut: Bone nut\u003cbr\u003e \nHardware color: Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Dimensions\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 648 mm \/ 25.5\"\u003cbr\u003e \nWidth at Nut: 42 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nWidth at 22F: 56.4 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nThickness at 1st fret: 20.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nThickness at the 12th fret: 22.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nRadius: 228 mm R to 305 mm R compound","brand":"IBANEZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51352457969916,"sku":"80-2130000091376","price":257500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/2247\/6028\/files\/e4213e243da9497baffb3e0db8a3f167_202609207538216.jpg?v=1789880811","url":"https:\/\/intl.ishibashi.co.jp\/ja\/products\/80-2130000091376","provider":"Ishibashi Music Corporation.
