Ibanez / Premium Series AZ42P1-PBE (Prussian Blue Metallic) Ibanez [03]

The AZ Premium New Color Model: The Standard Choice for Next-Generation Guitarists

・ A new color model featuring the popular vibrant metallic blue body color accented with white binding, paired with chrome-covered pickups and chrome hardware to create a sharp, striking look
・ Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads
・ Roasted maple neck & rosewood fingerboard

The neck is crafted from heat-treated maple. This heat treatment enhances dimensional stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and stability against temperature changes.
After testing and verifying several neck thickness prototypes, we concluded that 20.5*22.5 (at 1st fret*12th fret) is the optimal specification.
The back of the neck features a satin finish, ensuring a smooth playing experience.
The fingerboard is made of rosewood, which is characterized by a mellow midrange sound with good sustain.

・ AZ-exclusive Oval C neck shape
・ Super All Access neck joint and custom-designed body contour
・ Stainless steel frets
・ Luminous side dot position inlays on the fingerboard
・ Hyperion pickups, co-developed with Seymour Duncan

We acquired more than dozens of different pickups and measured the frequency characteristics of each one.
From among them, we identified the specifications and sound profile deemed optimal for AZ. These AZ-exclusive pickups were born from a collaboration with Seymour Duncan—a company synonymous with pickup brands that boasts a long history while continuing to pursue new innovations even today.
These custom pickups are designed with a slightly reduced output to ensure that the clarity of the original sound remains even when distorted, prioritizing picking responsiveness and reproducibility.
From treble to bass, and from the 1st to the 6th string, we prioritized overall balance and pursued excellent compatibility with effects. Alnico-5 magnets are used.
