Armed with a panoply of high-performance features and eye-catching appointments, the Standard AZ22S1F represents an accessible entryway into Ibanez’s ever-versatile AZ range of instruments. This high-octane 6-string begins with a lively alder body that brandishes a flamboyant flame maple top, and it also features deep dual cutaways for effortless upper-register leads and solos. On the opposite end, the AZ22S1F wears a sleek and stable roasted maple neck and a 305mm-radius jatoba fingerboard, capped with hard-wearing stainless-steel frets. Under the hood, you get a fiery HSS trio of Ibanez Classic Custom pickups, a 5-way switch, and Ibanez’s dyna-MIX9 system with an alter switch — a comprehensive sonic setup that tackles everything from modern metal to classic rock to retro blues without batting an eye. You also get a premium hardware setup of locking Ibanez tuning machines and a dynamic Ibanez T106 tremolo. In every regard, the Ibanez AZ22S1F is poised to please modern guitarists of all styles and backgrounds with its potent blend of tonal flexibility and signature Ibanez performance.
