Taking adaptability to new extremes, the AZ series has established itself and carved out a place that spans everything from the warmest blues licks to the most intense, shred-heavy metal riffs. Carrying this ethos forward, the AZ line embodies time-tested Ibanez innovation and player-focused features like a smooth, oval neck grip, a well-balanced asymmetrical body shape, and the neck heel allowing for unrivaled playability.<br> <br> The Ibanez Prestige line is based on three principles: Precision, Performance, and Playability. It combines high-tech manufacturing techniques with old-world Japanese craftsmanship to achieve true innovation in design and construction. The series incorporates ideas and suggestions from musicians around the world as the cornerstones of the Prestige production process.<br> <br> The AZ2203NT comes with a Compound Radius (228mm to 305mm) Rosewood fretboard, a Roasted Maple neck, and Luminlay side dots. Furthermore, it features Seymour Duncan Fortuna S-S-S pickups, a Blender, and a Gotoh T1502S Tremolo with a Non-recessed bridge cavity and five tremolo springs. <h3>Specifications</h3> <table class="table table-bordered"> <tbody> <tr><td><strong>Grade</strong></td><td>Prestige</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Series</strong></td><td>AZ</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Number of strings</strong></td><td>6</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Color</strong></td><td>Dark Tide Blue Flat</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Body</strong></td><td>Alder</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Body finish</strong></td><td>Satin Polyester</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Neck</strong></td><td>S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Scale (inch)</strong></td><td>25,5</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Scale (mm)</strong></td><td>648</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Neck type</strong></td><td>AZ Oval C</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Neck thickness (1st fret, mm)</strong></td><td>20,5</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Neck thickness (12th fret, mm)</strong></td><td>22,5</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Neck finish</strong></td><td>Oil</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Neck joint</strong></td><td>Bolt-on</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Nut</strong></td><td>Bone</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Nut width (mm)</strong></td><td>42</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>End width (mm)</strong></td><td>56,4</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Fretboard</strong></td><td>Rosewood</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Fretboard radius (mm)</strong></td><td>228 to 305 COMPOUND</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Inlay</strong></td><td>Mother of Pearl dot</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Side dot inlay</strong></td><td>Luminlay side dots</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Number of frets</strong></td><td>22</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Fret type</strong></td><td>Jumbo Stainless Steel</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Fret edge treatment</strong></td><td>Prestige fret edge treatment</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Neck pickup</strong></td><td>Seymour Duncan® Fortuna™ (S)</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Middle pickup</strong></td><td>Seymour Duncan® Fortuna™ (S)</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Bridge pickup</strong></td><td>Seymour Duncan® Fortuna™ (S)</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Pickup type</strong></td><td>Passive</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Controls, pickup selector</strong></td><td>1 Volume, 1 Tone, 1 Blender, 5-way lever switch</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Bridge</strong></td><td>Gotoh® T1502S</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>String spacing (mm)</strong></td><td>10,5</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Machine heads</strong></td><td>Gotoh® Magnum Lock machine heads w/H.A.P.</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Hardware color</strong></td><td>Chrome</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>String gauges (from top to bottom)</strong></td><td>.010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Tuning (from top to bottom)</strong></td><td>1E,2B,3G,4D,5A,6E</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Special feature 1</strong></td><td>Non-recessed bridge cavity</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Special feature 2</strong></td><td>5 tremolo springs</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Special feature 3</strong></td><td>Compound Radius Fretboard (228mm to 305mm)</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Special feature 4</strong></td><td>Super All Access Neck Joint</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Special feature 5</strong></td><td>Blender</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Made in</strong></td><td>JAPAN</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Case or bag included</strong></td><td>Hardshell case included</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Recommended bag</strong></td><td>IGB724-BK</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Other item(s) included</strong></td><td>Tremolo arm, Multi tool</td></tr> </tbody> </table>
