Ibanez AZ2204 Prestige

The Ibanez AZ2204 is a Japanese-made Prestige electric guitar that combines the familiar ergonomics of a traditional double-cutaway design with modern construction and versatile performance. Its Alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation, while the AZ Oval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck and matching Roasted Maple fingerboard offer a smooth, stable playing feel. The ergonomic AZ body contours and Super All Access Neck Joint improve comfort and upper-fret access, making the guitar suitable for rhythm, lead and extended playing sessions. (Ibanez)

The AZ2204 features a Seymour Duncan Hyperion HSS pickup configuration, with single-coil pickups at the neck and middle positions and a humbucker at the bridge. The Hyperion pickups use Alnico-5 magnets and moderate output to retain clear fundamental tones, defined pick attack and balanced response, including with distortion and effects. Ibanez's dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch provides nine tonal variations, including series wiring of the neck and middle pickups to produce a humbucker-like sound. (Ibanez)

Hardware includes a Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge with 10.5 mm string spacing, machined titanium saddles and a machined steel tremolo block for responsive attack and strong low-end and high-frequency response. Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads with H.A.P. provide secure tuning and adjustable string-post height. The Roasted Maple fingerboard features black dot inlays, Luminlay side dots and 22 jumbo stainless-steel frets with Prestige fret-edge treatment. The current model is offered in Ice Blue Metallic and Pearl White, with chrome hardware and an Ibanez hardshell case included. (Ibanez)
