Key Information About the Ibanez AZ Prestige Guitar
- Modern versatility thanks to an HSS Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickup configuration and a 5-position selector complemented by the dynaMIX9 system.
- Premium comfort: AZ Oval C neck in S-TECH WOOD roasted maple, oiled finish, and "Prestige" treated fret edges.
- Precise and durable playability with 22 jumbo stainless steel frets and a compound radius fingerboard (flatter as you ascend).
- Reliable hardware: Gotoh T1702 tremolo and Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners with HAP, plus a hard case included.
An AZ Designed for Versatility and Performance
Born from the modern "superstrat" spirit, the AZ range stands out with refined ergonomics, careful tuning stability, and an extensive sonic palette. This high-end version emphasizes playing comfort (AZ Oval C profile, oiled finish) and electronic flexibility, allowing seamless transition from precise clean tones to thicker saturations without changing instruments.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an electric guitar capable of covering many genres: funk and pop (sharp, percussive attacks), rock (powerful rhythms), modern blues and fusion (fluid solos, high definition). Its long scale length and compound radius favor both clean chords and controlled bends higher up the neck.
The Sound
The combination of a alder body and roasted maple neck provides a balanced foundation: firm lows, present mids, and clear highs, ideal for effects and detailed tones. The Seymour Duncan Fortuna single coils at the neck and middle deliver clarity, dynamics, and precision, while the bridge humbucker boosts output and thickness in saturation. The passive electronics maintain a natural response to playing, and the dynaMIX9 system with Alter switch multiplies combinations to quickly navigate between incisive "single" registers and denser textures, with excellent sustain aided by stainless steel frets and Gotoh hardware.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel and balance, you can install a set of D'Addario EXL110 strings with gauges 10-46 (.010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046), identical to the factory setup.
