Ibanez - AZ22S2-BK AZ Black

The Ibanez AZ22S2-BK Black guitar builds on the foundations of the AZ series in a version designed to be straightforward and easy to use. Its alder body provides a natural balance between clarity and sustain, helping to keep chords legible and notes well defined.

The torrefied maple neck is treated to resist variations in temperature and humidity, reducing the need for frequent adjustment and ensuring a consistent feel in the hand. The satin finish makes rapid movements smoother, especially when changing position. The jatoba fingerboard features a strong midrange and clean highs, which are equally useful for rhythm and solo playing. The jumbo stainless steel frets are easy to bend and withstand intensive use without loss of comfort.

The Ibanez Classic Custom pickup configuration combines two single coils in the neck and centre positions with a humbucker in the bridge, allowing for precise clean tones as well as thicker saturation. The dyna-MIX9 system with Alter Switch expands the possibilities by allowing you to switch quickly from a single-coil character to denser sounds, without complicated handling. The T106 vibrato is easy to adjust thanks to its independent bridges, and responds predictably to use.

Self-locking action makes string changes easy, while helping to maintain tuning. The Super All Access Neck Joint improves access to the treble and makes playing more comfortable all along the neck.
