The AZ Series: The "Superstrat" Spirit Reimagined by Ibanez in Prestige Finish
Designed to meet the demands of modern guitarists, the AZ range emphasizes ergonomics (pronounced contours, balanced standing and sitting positions) and flawless craftsmanship. The AZ2407F fully embodies this philosophy with typical high-end Ibanez details such as "Prestige" fret edge treatment and a performance-focused approach: precision, comfort, and reliability under intense playing conditions.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This Ibanez is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want a single electric guitar capable of handling everything: modern pop, funk, rock, fusion, prog, and melodic metal. The 24 frets and easy access to the upper register encourage fluid soloing, while the wiring versatility and tremolo stability make it a credible ally both in the studio and live, for tight rhythms as well as singing leads.
Sound Characteristics
The basswood body with flamed maple top combines a balanced and "clean" foundation with a sharper attack and better clarity in the high frequencies. Regarding pickups, the DiMarzio Air Norton in the neck position delivers a round low end and generous mids while maintaining definition for chords and legato playing. The True Velvet in the middle position provides an articulate and dynamic clear tone, ideal for rhythm chops and intermediate positions. At the bridge, the The Tone Zone boosts mids and lows for dense riffs and punchy leads. The 5-position selector uses split coil combinations to achieve finer single-coil-like textures, perfect when seeking snap without losing overall coherence. Finally, the Gotoh T1502S tremolo (steel saddles and block) enhances response and note sustain, while the bone nut and locking tuners secure tuning stability.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original setup spirit, consider a nickel string set gauge 10-46 (equivalent to the factory-installed set), a quality jack cable to preserve the dynamics of passive pickups, as well as a clip-on tuner and a microfiber cloth for routine maintenance. A standard two-strap button electric guitar strap will also be suitable.
