The Ibanez Prestige AZ2204-PW Pearl White
is the ultimate instrument for the modern guitarist, designed to cater to a wide range of virtuoso playing techniques in rock, fusion, and jazz. Crafted with an ergonomically shaped alder body and a bolt-on S-Tech Wood neck, the AZ2204 offers smooth playability and comfort, allowing for unrestricted movement across the fretboard. Equipped with Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups and dyna-MIX9 circuitry, this guitar delivers a rich array of sounds with exceptional clarity and articulation, making it ideal for everything from dynamic chord progressions to lightning-fast lead lines. Additionally, the Ibanez AZ2204 features a Gotoh T1802 Tremolo with titanium string saddles for superior sustain and tuning stability, along with Gotoh H.A.P. Locking tuners to ensure precise tuning adjustments and improved string retention.
The Ibanez AZ2204 features a body crafted from classic alder wood, expertly curved for comfort and playability. The wide-cut cutaways and the innovative Super All Access Neck Joint design allow easy access to even the highest fret positions, making it a joy to play across the entire fretboard. A standout feature of the Ibanez AZ2204 is its bolt-on neck made from S-Tech Wood Roasted Maple. This thermally treated maple is subjected to a pure nitrogen atmosphere, making it highly resistant to climate changes and enhancing its resonance, providing exceptional tone and stability. The neck’s medium-bodied “AZ Oval C” profile offers a comfortable fit in the hand, ensuring that even the most intricate songs can be played effortlessly across all 22 jumbo-sized stainless steel frets. For optimal visibility on dark stages, the fluorescent side dots make orientation quick and easy, ensuring you can always find your way around the fretboard, even in low light.
For optimum tone conversion, Seymour Duncan provides the pickups for the Ibanez AZ2204. The guitar is equipped with two Seymour Duncan Hyperion single coils in the neck and middle positions, and a Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbucker in the bridge. These pickups are designed to deliver a moderately increased output while maintaining a balanced representation of all frequencies. This setup ensures expressive electric guitar playing is well-supported, with lively dynamics across the tonal spectrum. The pickups are selected in traditional combinations using the 5-way blade switch, allowing for versatile tone shaping. The dyna-MIX9 circuit offers additional sonic possibilities, providing even more options for the player. By engaging the "Alter" switch, players can access the serial connection of both single coils or the simultaneous operation of all three pickups, expanding the tonal range for creative expression.
Last but not least, the Ibanez Prestige AZ2204-PW Pearl White stands out with its premium hardware. The bridge is the Gotoh T1802 tremolo, specially developed for the Ibanez AZ series, and features titanium string saddles and a solid steel block to enhance the overall sound. The 10.5 mm string spacing optimizes attack techniques, providing enhanced playability. At the headstock, the strings are guided through a bone saddle to the Gotoh Magnum Lock H.A.P. machine heads, which feature height-adjustable winding axles that ensure optimal string pressure and tuning stability.
