Taking adaptability to new extremes, the Ibanez AZ22S1F Standard 6-String Right-Handed Electric Guitar in Transparent Black Sunburst 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. Roasted Maple Neck and Jatoba Fretboard  The Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes. Jatoba has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.  Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes. The Flamed Maple top displays a beautiful wood grain. The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance and sustain. Ibanez Classic Custom Pickups Ibanez Classic Custom pickups feature a well-balanced combination of alnico neck and middle single coils and ceramic bridge humbucker, which allows a clear expression of picking nuances. Locking Machine Heads and T106 Tremolo Locking machine heads ensure accurate and stable tuning. The T106 tremolo bridge with 6 independent saddles makes precise height and intonation adjustment of each string easy. Dyna-MIX9 Switching System with Alter Switch The Dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single coil modes with just a flick of the mini switch. One mode even simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single coil pickups. The Super All Access Neck Joint increases playability and allows for easy access to the higher frets.
