An AZ designed for versatility and performance
Born from the spirit of the modern "superstrat", the AZ range stands out with its carefully designed ergonomics, excellent tuning stability and wide tonal palette. This high-end-oriented version focuses on playing comfort (AZ Oval C profile, oiled finishing) and electronic flexibility, allowing you to go from a precise clean sound to thicker overdrive tones without changing instruments.
Who is it for, and what styles does it suit?
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists looking for an electric guitar capable of covering a wide range of styles: funk and pop (crisp, snappy attacks), rock (powerful rhythm playing), modern blues and fusion (smooth solos, excellent definition). Its long scale length and compound radius favour both clean chords and controlled bends higher up the neck.
The sound
The combination of an alder body and roasted maple neck provides a balanced foundation: tight lows, pronounced mids and clear highs, ideal for effects and sculpted tones. The Seymour Duncan Fortuna single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions deliver clarity, dynamics and precision, while the bridge humbucker boosts the output level and thickness under overdrive. The passive electronics retain a natural response to your playing, and the dynaMIX9 system with Alter switch multiplies the available combinations, allowing you to move quickly between incisive "single" registers and denser textures, with excellent sustain enhanced by stainless steel frets and Gotoh hardware.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve the original touch and balance, you can fit a set of D'Addario EXL110 strings in 10-46 gauge (.010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046), identical to the factory setup.
