Ibanez AZ2203N-BK Prestige Electric Guitar in Black

The Ibanez AZ2203N electric guitar melds timeless style with modern playability. This beautifully-understated, Japanese-crafted instrument comes equipped with some of the best electronics and hardware appointments out there; including Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickups, a Gotoh T1502S tremolo, and a rolled-edge roasted Maple neck with a compound-radius Rosewood fingerboard, jumbo stainless steel frets, Luminlay side dots and Gotoh locking tuners. A hardshell case is also included!

Key Features

• Alder Body — Trusted tonewood choice synonymous with bolt-on electric guitars. Provides a balanced tonal foundation for the pickups, with tight lows, bold mids and singing highs.
• Ergonomic Rear Body Contour — A shallow body back and big forearm contour make the guitar's body fit you naturally, thus increasing playing comfort. The AZ body also has a deep waist and different radii on each body edge curve, making it easier to play in both standing or sitting positions.
• 'Super All Access' Neck Joint — Ergonomic design offers the feel of a set/through neck for unrestricted access to the highest frets, while providing the practicality and "snap" of a bolt-on!
• Oval "C" S-TECH Roasted Maple Neck — Ibanez's special 'S-TECH' roasting treatment increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes for rock-solid tuning. The neck is sealed with a smooth oil finish which helps make it feel similar to a well-played guitar neck.
• Compound Radius Rosewood Fingerboard — Offering the best of both worlds, the digitized compound radius fretboard is built to enhance both smooth chording and lead work in the upper register.
• Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets with Prestige Fret Edge Treatment — Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance, with the wide and tall fret-type offering a quick response and great articulation. 'Prestige Fret Edge Treatment' guarantees effortlessly fast playing.
• Luminlay Side Dots — Make it easier to see the fingerboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
• Seymour Duncan Fortuna Pickups — Deliver a moderate output and natural clean voicing, which accurately reflect subtle playing nuances. From treble to bass, the overall tonal balance is evenly adjusted and works well with various effect pedals.
• Blender — With the simple turn of the blend knob, you can incorporate just the right amount of each pickup in a given position to achieve your desired sound.
• Gotoh T1502S Tremolo — Features steel saddles and a steel tremolo block for a quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across the strings, and its snap-in construction makes it simple to attach or remove the vibrato arm.
• Gotoh Magnum Lock Tuners with H.A.P. — Locking design secures strings to makes changes fast and hassle-free. Height-adjustable posts allow for the adjustment of string pegs for the appropriate tension of each string.
• Included Hardshell Case — Provides robust protection for your beloved instrument.
