About this listing
** IBANEZ AZ41P1PB TGB Transparent Gray Burst **Brand NEW (New Strings & Full Setup by our Guitar Tech)Ibanez Premium gigbag, original box, and accessories included.For decades, Ibanez has had the rare ability to appeal equally to shredders, jazz musicians, fusion players, and modern guitarists looking for an instrument capable of doing everything without ever becoming generic. The AZ series perfectly embodies this philosophy: a guitar designed for the demanding, modern, highly versatile musician, while still delivering a true “high-end” feel in the hands. And with the Premium range, Ibanez has found a remarkable balance between sophistication, comfort, and a still reasonable price compared to the much more expensive Japanese Prestige models.The first thing that stands out is clearly the look. This Transparent Gray Burst finish over the Poplar Burl top is stunning: deep, elegant, almost luxurious without becoming flashy. Combined with the gold hardware, the guitar immediately projects a very confident premium identity.But the most impressive aspect remains the playing comfort. The roasted maple AZ Oval C neck is exactly the kind of profile that bridges several worlds: modern enough for fast playing, yet organic enough to preserve a real woody feel under the fingers. You can immediately sense the ergonomic work behind this series. The neck joint, body contours, overall balance… everything encourages a natural and relaxed playing experience.And then there’s the sound. The Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups are probably one of the best choices Ibanez has made in recent years. Unlike many ultra-compressed modern pickups, these remain open, articulate, and musical. In clean tones, the guitar breathes beautifully. Chords retain definition, and notes have plenty of air and clarity. With crunch tones, it becomes lively and expressive without unnecessary harshness. And under heavier modern gain, it maintains impressive precision while preserving warmth. The dyna-MIX10 system is also a real success. Many “versatile” systems end up feeling gimmicky; here, the split-coil positions are genuinely usable. You can move from a snappy almost single-coil character to a dense, modern humbucker sound without any artificial feel. For a guitarist covering multiple styles in the same set, it’s a dream.When you come across a great AZ Premium — and this AZ41P1PB clearly is one — you get an incredibly inspiring guitar capable of competing with instruments that cost far more, while retaining that fluid, modern, and ultra-musical Ibanez identity. This is exactly the kind of guitar that makes you want to play for hours from the very first minutes. It’s not just another modern “super Strat”: it has a real visual personality and, above all, an extremely addictive sense of fluidity.Specifications: Premium Series Serial: I251214091 Weight: 2.990 kgSolid-body electric guitar, AZ shape, Fender Stratocaster style American basswood body Poplar burl top Bolt-on roasted maple neck Rosewood fingerboard Pearl dot inlays Neck profile: AZ Oval “C” Thickness at 1st fret: 21 mm / thickness at 12th fret: 23 mm Fingerboard radius: 305 mm (12.01") Scale length: 648 mm (25.51") Nut width: 42 mm (1.65") Graph Tech nut 24 Jumbo frets 2 Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers 1 volume control, 1 tone control 5-way selector switch Dyna-MIX10 system with Alter Switch Gotoh T1502 tremolo Gotoh MG-T locking tuners Gold hardware D’Addario EXL110 strings (10–46)
