The standard model for new generation guitarists proposed by Ibanez.

The trend of demanding more technique in guitar playing is gaining momentum day by day, and musical styles such as rock, metal, blues, jazz, and fusion are becoming increasingly integrated.

With advances in the Internet and digital devices, it is no longer a rare phenomenon for individual players to be able to broadcast their music across national borders, and it has become easy to distribute performances. As a result, a large community has been formed in which players participate and are valued regardless of their nationality, age, or gender. Interactions within the community have also flourished, and they have encouraged each other to improve their creativity, techniques, and methods of expression. It is our destiny to continue to be updated. We have entered an era in which a new generation of guitar heroes and heroines from all over the world are flying into the world with new surprises.

Ibanez takes pride in being the leading modern guitar brand that makes guitars that are required by today's players. This AZ was created by pouring everything Ibanez has cultivated from A to Z. In order to realize the elements required of modern players, AZ has the DNA of guitar making that Ibanez has accumulated throughout the AZ, and this is reflected in the interweaving of modern and classical in the design, color, and design of each part. You can also see it from.

So, can a good guitar that produces a good sound be created simply by collecting 'good parts'? At Ibanez, we believe that there is no basis for 'good sound' and that what is there is 'the sound you want.' A good guitar is one that can produce the sound you want. Ibanez believes that the individual parts and designs of a guitar are not independent, but that when they work together they define the sound character and produce the sound you are looking for.

Is AZ a rehash of traditional guitars? Is it a guitar that follows others? The only way to find out is to pick up this guitar and play it. What the birth of AZ shows. It just means that a new generation of guitars has been born.

S-TECH WOOD roasted maple 1pc neck & fretboard

The fingerboard and neck are made of Estech treated maple wood. ESTEC treatment is a nitrogen heat treatment technology developed in Sendai for wood, and is the first in the world to use it as a guitar material. ESTEC Wood wood has characteristics such as shape stability, durability against warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes, and due to these characteristics, it has acquired patented technology in Japan. After numerous trials and verifications, we concluded that the best neck thickness is 20.5*22.5 (at 1F*12F). In addition, the finish uses an oil finish with a texture similar to the neck of a plucked guitar.

AZ Modern Oval C Neck Grip

This is an original neck shape created by measuring and analyzing dozens of different guitar neck grips, both made by our company and from other companies.
This is a comfort grip that is shaped so that it falls gently from the adhesive surface of the fingerboard and neck to the fingerboard edge, and the fingerboard edge is rounded. The shape is accurately and reliably reproduced by ball milling.
The neck width is set to 42mm at the nut, and 56.4mm and 57mm at the final fret of the 22F and 24F models, respectively, making it easy to grip at the low frets, and placing your thumb on the back of the neck at the high frets. The shape has been designed with special consideration given to playability in a classical style.

Body Design

An original body shape aiming for a contemporary design.
The thin body contour and large elbow contour, reminiscent of Ibanez's representative model S, create a sense of unity between the player and the guitar, and greatly contribute to improved playability.
The deep constriction of the body makes it easy to handle when held or on stage, and provides high playability. The angular radius on the front and back sides of the body is R3mm, and the back side is R8mm, making it an ergonomic design that allows you to feel the fit the moment you hold the guitar, regardless of whether you're sitting or standing.
