The AZ series was created by putting everything Ibanez has cultivated so far from A to Z into this instrument!

Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge
The Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge is a new version of the Gotoh 510 bridge, which has an established reputation as the definitive tremolo bridge among many players and guitar brands, through a collaboration between Ibanez and Gotoh.
It features a hard-cut titanium saddle and a cut steel inertia block for both a solid and fat sound with a good sound startup, as well as an extended high frequency range.
The narrow spacing design with a 10.5mm pitch between strings is designed for ease of picking across the strings, which is required by players who frequently use skipping and hybrid picking.
The arm can be snapped in without having to be turned in like a conventional arm. The torque of the tremolo arm can be easily adjusted by rotating the torque cap on the arm attachment.

dyna-MIX 10 switching system w/Alter switch
The Dyna-MIX 10 switching system allows the user to freely switch between humbucker and single coil modes with a single mini-switch, providing a wide range of sound variations.
This switching system is ideal for the modern guitar player who has to play multiple roles with limited equipment.

Seymour Duncan Hyperion Pickups
We obtained more than a dozen different 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 created these AZ-specific 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.
The output is kept low so that the cleanness of the original sound can be maintained even when distorted, and the pickup was designed with emphasis on tracking and reproducibility of picking.

S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple Fretboard
The 305mmR fretboard was designed with the key point of not clogging up the sound even when chalking with a large touch width and not causing stress to the fingers and hands even when working on chords.

AZ Oval C S-Tech Wood Roasted Maple neck
The fingerboard and neck are made of estec-treated maple. Estec treatment is a nitrogen heat treatment technique developed in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, and is the first of its kind in the world to be used for guitars.
The finish is an oil finish that gives the guitar neck the look and feel of a well played guitar neck.

An ergonomic body back contour
The thin body contour and large elbow contour create a sense of unity between the player and the guitar and contribute greatly to improved playability.
The deep neck of the body makes the guitar easy to hold and handle on stage, and also realizes high playability.
