Ibanez AZ22S2

The Ibanez AZ22S2 is a 6-string electric guitar from the AZ series, designed to combine classic HSS versatility with modern playability and ergonomic comfort. It features an Alder body paired with an AZ Roasted Maple neck and Jatoba fingerboard, providing a balanced, bright tonal response with clear articulation and sustain. The 648 mm / 25.5" scale and comfortable AZ body contours make it suitable for a wide range of playing styles, while the Super All Access Neck Joint facilitates comfortable access to the upper frets.

The AZ22S2 features Ibanez Classic Custom pickups in an HSS configuration, with Alnico passive single-coils at the neck and middle positions and a Ceramic passive humbucker at the bridge. The combination provides warm, clear single-coil tones alongside a more powerful bridge sound for overdriven and high-gain applications. Ibanez's dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch expands the available tonal options to nine combinations, including a series-connected neck-and-middle configuration that produces a thicker, humbucker-like sound.

The guitar is fitted with a T106 tremolo bridge featuring six individually adjustable saddles and 10.5 mm string spacing, allowing precise adjustment of string height and intonation. Jumbo stainless-steel frets provide durability and clear articulation, while the roasted Maple neck is designed for enhanced stability against temperature and humidity changes. Locking machine heads improve tuning stability and simplify string changes. The AZ22S2 is available in Black and Mint Green, with the Black version using chrome hardware and a white pickguard.
