Ibanez AZ2402-BKF Black Flat Prestige

The AZ Series: The Modern Ibanez Designed "From A to Z"

With the AZ series, Ibanez conveys a simple idea: the guitar should become a natural extension of the musician. Everything is designed to accommodate contemporary techniques (precise attack, dynamics, hybrid playing, extended positions), while maintaining "classic" benchmarks: balance, ergonomics, and tones usable in all contexts. This AZ fits this philosophy by combining modern luthiery, high-end hardware, and particularly flexible electronics.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This Ibanez AZ is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want an electric guitar capable of handling rehearsals, studio, and stage without compromise. It excels in modern rock, fusion, pop, prog, funky grooves, and expressive lead lines with tremolo. Thanks to the dyna-MIX10, it also covers more "vintage" ranges when you need to clean up the sound, thicken crunch tones, or play tighter rhythms.

The Sound

The alder body provides a natural balance: present mids, firm lows, and clear attack, ideal for versatile sounds. The S-TECH WOOD roasted maple neck and fingerboard enhance the immediate response feel and definition, while improving stability against temperature and humidity changes. The Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups (Alnico 5 magnets, moderate output) emphasize fundamental clarity even under distortion, with precise attack and excellent compatibility with pedals. Finally, the dyna-MIX10 and its Alter switch multiply combinations: full humbucker, scooped sounds, and Power Tap mode for more "single-coil" colors while retaining body.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel, opt for D'Addario EXL110 strings in gauge .010-.046 (factory setup). A standard strap will also be suitable for standing play. The M20AZL case is included, convenient for safely transporting the guitar.
