{"product_id":"ibanez-azes40b-black-432315","title":"AZES40B Black","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAZ Essentials: The Spirit of the AZ Series in an Accessible Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the \u003cstrong\u003eAZES40B\u003c\/strong\u003e, Ibanez expands the very popular AZ family by offering the \u003cstrong\u003eAZ Essentials (AZES)\u003c\/strong\u003e line, designed to make the AZ philosophy more affordable. It retains the DNA of the range: a modern, versatile, and easy-to-play guitar, enhanced with specific elements aimed at simplifying learning and handling, such as the \u003cstrong\u003eMono-unit jack\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003e10\" \/ 250 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e radius, and the \u003cstrong\u003ecomfort saddles\u003c\/strong\u003e on the bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Ibanez AZES40B for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis electric guitar is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate players\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a serious, stable, and evolving foundation. Its ergonomics and highly flexible electronics make it an excellent choice for working on fundamentals (chords, rhythms, bends, first improvisations) while exploring various genres: \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e, and even heavier sounds thanks to the humbucker in the bridge position. The black \u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e finish and chrome hardware also give it a sleek and effective look, perfect for both stage and home use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Modern Sound Palette: S-S-H + dyna-MIX9 for 9 Variations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAZES40B\u003c\/strong\u003e combines a \u003cstrong\u003epoplar\u003c\/strong\u003e body and a \u003cstrong\u003emaple\u003c\/strong\u003e neck: poplar provides a balanced and homogeneous output, while maple contributes a sharper attack and a bright character. The \u003cstrong\u003ejatoba\u003c\/strong\u003e fingerboard enhances the \u003cstrong\u003emidrange\u003c\/strong\u003e and maintains defined highs, helping to achieve clear, articulate clean tones and well-defined saturations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding pickups, the \u003cstrong\u003eEssentials (single coils)\u003c\/strong\u003e at the neck and middle positions deliver precise clean sounds, ideal for rhythm and arpeggios. The bridge \u003cstrong\u003eAccord (humbucker)\u003c\/strong\u003e pickup adds more density and output level for rock riffs and more sustained leads. The real highlight remains the \u003cstrong\u003edyna-MIX9 system\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eAlter Switch\u003c\/strong\u003e: it multiplies combinations, allows switching from humbucker modes to more \"single coil\" textures, and even offers a mode simulating a humbucker character by combining two singles. The result: a highly versatile guitar with quick and intuitive tonal color changes, perfect for exploring and finding your sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guitar comes strung with \u003cstrong\u003eD'Addario EXL110\u003c\/strong\u003e strings in \u003cstrong\u003e10-46\u003c\/strong\u003e gauge. You can therefore stick to this standard (or an equivalent 10-46) to maintain the same balance of tension and feel under the fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
