AZ Premium, the standard model for the new generation of guitarists, is now available in new colors.
The new color model features the popular bright metallic blue body color with white binding, chrome covered pickups, and chrome hardware, giving it a sharp look.
Gotoh MG-T locking machine head
Roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard
The neck is made of heat-treated maple. The heat treatment is expected to provide shape stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes.
The neck thickness is 20.5*22.5 (at1F*12F) after several prototypes and verifications, and we concluded that 20.5*22.5 (at1F*12F) is the best thickness.
The fretboard is made of rosewood, which is characterized by its mild and persistent mid-range sound.
Oval C neck shape for AZ
Super All Access neck joint and specially designed body contour
Stainless steel frets
Luminescent fingerboard side dot position inlays
Hyperion 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 were best suited for AZ, and we made these custom pickups exclusively for AZ.
The total balance from treble to bass and from the first to sixth strings is important, and we also pursued good effects. Alnico-5 magnets are used.
