AZ Essentials: The AZ DNA Made Accessible
With the AZES (AZ Essentials) line, Ibanez adapts the philosophy of the AZ series (versatility, playability, ergonomics) into a format designed to support beginners and intermediate players. It features comfort and simplicity-focused choices, such as a 10" / 250 mm radius and an overall design made to progress quickly without struggling with the instrument.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The Ibanez AZES40L-PRB targets left-handed guitarists who want a versatile electric guitar to learn on, play in bands, or record at home. Thanks to its S-S-H pickup set and switching system, it easily covers pop, rock, funk, blues, and modern heavy sounds with the bridge humbucker. The T106 tremolo also adds a real expressive dimension (vibrato, dynamics, subtle effects).
Sound
Its poplar body delivers a balanced response, with controlled lows and clear mids, ideal for a versatile guitar comfortable during long sessions. The Essentials single coil neck pickup provides round and clear tones, while the single coil middle pickup is perfect for precise rhythm playing. In the bridge position, the Accord humbucker offers higher output and thickness for rock riffs and distortion. The dyna-MIX9 system with Alter Switch significantly expands the combinations, allowing you to switch from a snappy single-coil tone to thicker sounds without changing guitars.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar is strung with D'Addario EXL110 strings in gauge .010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046: you can keep this gauge to maintain the original balance (tension, comfort, tremolo). For transport, the recommended gig bag IGB540-BK and the recommended case MR350C are the options specified by the manufacturer.
