Product Description
The Ibanez AZ22S2-BK AZ Standard is a sleek, modern workhorse designed to cover everything from glassy cleans to tight rock rhythm and fluid lead playing. With a versatile HSS pickup configuration, dyna-MIX9 switching and a rock-solid Roasted Maple neck, this blacked-out AZ is built for players who need comfort, tuning stability and a wide palette of usable tones in one dependable instrument.
Balancing contemporary playability with classic-inspired sounds, the AZ22S2 pairs an Alder body and Jatoba fretboard with stainless steel frets, a T106 tremolo and locking machine heads. Whether you are exploring intricate chord voicings, fast legato lines or expressive vibrato, this guitar stays in tune, feels fast under the fingers and delivers articulate tone across every position.
Comfortable Roasted Maple Neck
The Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated for increased stability, durability and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. This means fewer seasonal adjustments and a neck that feels consistent wherever you play. The smooth finish and comfortable profile make long sessions effortless, while the enhanced stability helps keep your setup feeling dialled in.
Expressive Jatoba Fretboard with Stainless Steel Frets
The Jatoba fretboard offers a rich midrange with a crisp high end, giving chords clarity and single notes plenty of cut. Jumbo stainless steel frets provide excellent corrosion resistance and a wide, tall feel that makes bending and vibrato easier. The result is quick response, effortless articulation and a clear, singing tone whether you are playing rhythm or lead.
Versatile Ibanez Classic Custom Pickups and dyna-MIX9
Ibanez Classic Custom pickups give the AZ22S2-BK a highly flexible voice. Alnico single coils in the neck and middle positions deliver warm, clear tones ideal for cleans and edge-of-breakup sounds, while the ceramic bridge humbucker adds power and punch for heavier styles. Paired with the dyna-MIX9 switching system and Alter switch, you get nine distinct tonal options, including humbucker and single coil modes and a humbucker-like sound created from two single coils, making this guitar ready for almost any genre.
Stable T106 Tremolo and Locking Machine Heads
The T106 tremolo bridge features six independent saddles, allowing precise height and intonation adjustment for each string so you can fine-tune your setup to your playing style. Locking machine heads help maintain accurate and stable tuning, even when using the tremolo for expressive pitch bends and vibrato, giving you the confidence to play dynamically without constantly reaching for the tuner.
