The AZ Series, Ibanez's Modern Vision
The AZ2204N is part of Ibanez's AZ lineup, designed with luthiers and studio musicians to offer a modern, precise, and ultra-versatile electric guitar. It combines contemporary craftsmanship (roasted maple, stainless steel frets, ergonomics) with intuitive electronics to cover everything from the silkiest cleans to expressive crunches, with impeccable stage reliability.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an "S-style" capable of handling pop, rock, funk, fusion, and more modern genres. Its fast playability and very clear electronics make it an excellent companion for both studio and live performances.
The Sound
The alder body delivers musical mids and precise highs, combined with the warmth of the rosewood fingerboard and the snappy response of the roasted maple neck. The Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickups provide moderate output with a clear and balanced tone, perfect for stacking pedals. The dyna-MIX9 (5-way selector + Alter Switch) offers simple and double coil combinations, including a mode simulating a humbucker from two single coils, allowing instant shifts from funky chime to singing lead. The Gotoh T1702B tremolo, mounted non-recessed with 5 springs, maximizes contact with the body for enhanced resonance, articulation, and sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To protect and optimize your AZ2204N: Ibanez IGB724-BK gig bag, D'Addario EXL110 10-46 string set (factory installed), standard strap for classic strap buttons, and quality 6.35 mm instrument cable.
