Ibanez AZ2204N Prestige

The Ibanez AZ2204N is a Japanese-made Prestige electric guitar designed to combine traditional playing feel with modern versatility and precision. It features an Alder body paired with an AZ Oval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, creating a balanced platform with a comfortable, familiar response. The ergonomic AZ body includes a shallow rear contour and pronounced forearm contour, while the Super All Access Neck Joint provides smooth access to the upper frets. Its 648 mm scale and compound-radius fingerboard make it equally comfortable for rhythm playing and lead work.

The AZ2204N uses a Seymour Duncan Fortuna HSS pickup configuration, with single-coils at the neck and middle positions and a humbucker at the bridge. The Fortuna pickups are voiced for moderate output, natural clean tones and strong sensitivity to playing dynamics, making them suitable for a wide variety of effects and amplification setups. Ibanez's dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch provides nine tonal variations, including a series-connected neck-and-middle combination that produces a humbucker-like sound. This gives the guitar considerably more tonal flexibility than a conventional five-way HSS setup.

A Gotoh T1702B tremolo bridge provides responsive tremolo operation, with a non-recessed bridge cavity allowing direct contact between the bridge and body for enhanced resonance and dynamic response. Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads with H.A.P. provide secure tuning stability while allowing individual string-post height adjustment. The Rosewood fingerboard features Mother-of-Pearl dot inlays, Luminlay side dots and 22 jumbo stainless-steel frets with Prestige fret-edge treatment. The AZ2204N is available in finishes including Prussian Blue Metallic, Antique White Blonde and Ivy Green Metallic Flat, with chrome hardware and an Ibanez hardshell case included.
