AZ Standard: The AZ Spirit Designed for Performance
With the AZ24S2, Ibanez brings the iconic ergonomics of the AZ series within reach of more guitarists, without compromising the core DNA of the line: a fast and stable neck, durable stainless steel frets, and versatile electronics. The HH "Modern Custom" configuration combined with the dyna-MIX10 gives this model a true "Swiss Army knife" identity, suited for both studio and stage.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
This electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to cover a wide range of styles with a single instrument. Its 24 frets and modern playability facilitate legato, tapping, wide bends, and precise rhythmic playing. It excels in punchy funk, pop/rock, fusion, hard rock, prog, and melodic metal, while remaining convincing for clean and dynamic accompaniments.
The Sound
The Ibanez Modern Custom humbuckers (Alnico V) deliver a full, tight, and defined sound: solid lows, present mids that cut through the mix, and precise highs that maintain clarity under saturation. The Power Tap mode offers more "single-like" attack and airier textures for snappy rhythms or bright arpeggios, while the dyna-MIX10 multiplies useful intermediate positions for clean and crunch tones. The alder body contributes to overall balance and dynamics, and the Roasted Maple neck enhances attack and stability. The T106 vibrato, adjustable string by string, helps maintain good intonation and consistent sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For transport and protection, this guitar can be paired with the hard case Ibanez M300C or the gig bag Ibanez IGB540-BK. To preserve the original feel and vibrato balance, a .010-.046 gauge set matches the factory tuning and setup.
