Crafted in Japan to exacting standards, the Ibanez ATZ100 pairs a classic alder body with an S-TECH roasted maple neck, delivering rock-solid structural stability and an instantly comfortable, organic feel in the hand. The voice of this instrument is defined by a unique trio of DiMarzio “The Cruiser” pickups. While they occupy a traditional single-coil footprint, these expressive and chimey dual-blade humbuckers boast a vocal midrange and a tight, focused low-end, completely eliminating 60-cycle hum. Anchored by a remarkably smooth Wilkinson-Gotoh VSVG tremolo and friction-free jumbo stainless steel frets, it’s a highly articulate instrument that shifts effortlessly from bell-like cleans to thick, saturated overdrive.
