Ibanez / Premium Series AZ427P2QM-TUB (Twilight Blue Burst) Ibanez [7-string model]

New AZ Premium 7-string, the standard model for the new generation of guitarists

New AZ Premium 7-string model with quilted maple body top and blue color burst
Gotoh MG-T locking machine head
Roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard

The neck is made of heat-treated maple. The heat treatment provides shape stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes.
After several prototypes and verifications, we concluded that 20.5*22.5 (at1F*12F) was the best neck thickness.
The back of the neck is finished with a satin finish to ensure smooth playing comfort.
The fretboard is made of rosewood, which is known for its tenacious and mild mid-range sound.

Oval C" neck shape, exclusive to AZ
Super All Access neck joint and specially designed body contour
Luminescent fingerboard side dot position inlays
Stainless steel frets
Hyperion 7 pickups co-developed with Seymour Duncan

We obtained more than dozens of pickups and measured their frequency response. We then determined the specifications and sound image of the pickups that we thought would be most suitable for AZ, and developed these pickups in collaboration with Seymour Duncan, a pickup brand that has a long history and continues to make new efforts. This is a pickup for AZ.
This is a custom pickup that focuses on the followability and reproducibility of picking, with the output being kept low so that the cleanness of the original sound remains somewhere even when distorted.
The total balance from treble to bass and from the 1st to 6th strings is important, and we also pursued good effects. Alnico-5 magnets are used.
