This design balances excellent sustain and resonance while maintaining high playability.\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, developed specifically for the AZ-N, was designed to deliver a cleaner tone that is even more natural and versatile across a wide range of genres, while making it easier to express subtle 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 performance 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 is non-recessed.\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 cross-string picking—a requirement for players who frequently use skipping or 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, as with conventional 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 locking the arm in place 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 resonance reminiscent of vintage guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nGotoh Magnum Lock Machine Heads w\/H.A.P.\u003cbr\u003e \nWe’ve adopted Gotoh’s Magnum Lock machine heads, which are renowned for their tuning stability.\u003cbr\u003e \nEquipped with the H.A.P. (Height Adjustable Post) mechanism, the post height can be adjusted to ensure proper tension for each string.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n◆ Instrument Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n・Serial Number: F2627030\u003cbr\u003e \n・Weight: 3.58 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: 10.5mm\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 12th fret: 22.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nRadius: 228mmR to 305mmR Compound","brand":"IBANEZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51232855359740,"sku":"80-2130000087881","price":257500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/2247\/6028\/files\/e4213e243da9497baffb3e0db8a3f167_202609057498002.jpg?v=1788685689","url":"https:\/\/intl.ishibashi.co.jp\/products\/80-2130000087881","provider":"Ishibashi Music Corporation.
