Description

The Ibanez AZ41B1 Iron Label pushes the versatility of the AZ series into heavier territory. Designed to handle everything from warm blues phrasing to aggressive, shred-focused metal, the AZ platform combines a comfortable oval neck profile, balanced asymmetrical body shape, and exceptional upper-fret access.

Built as part of the Iron Label series, the AZ41B1 focuses on features that directly contribute to heavy tone, fast playability, and dependable performance. Its stripped-down, blacked-out aesthetic is matched by powerful electronics and player-focused hardware.
