Ibanez AZ Standard AZ22S1F-TKS (Transparent Black Sunburst) #5N250500221

AZ Standard / Good Value model Debut!!

With uncompromising specifications and build quality, the AZ Standard series 22-fret/SSH pickup configuration model offers high cost performance!


◆AZ Roasted Maple neck
The neck is made of heat-treated maple wood.
Heat treatment can be expected to improve shape stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes.
The neck thickness is 20.5*22.5 (at 1F*12F), the same as the AZ Prestige and AZ Premium, providing a solid and comfortable grip.
The fretboard is made of jatoba wood. This hard wood has a reddish-brown grain and texture, and is characterized by its rich midrange tone.

◆Flamed Maple top / Alder body
This guitar features alder wood, known for its balanced, bright tonal characteristics and rich sustain, laminated with beautifully grained flame maple.

◆Super All Access Neck Joint
It features a Super All Access Neck Joint, which achieves high playability by finishing the joint with a spherical surface.
The cutaway on the bass string side is designed to be shallower, increasing the contact area between the body and neck, which allows for both high playability and excellent sustain and resonance.
Furthermore, the horn and cutaway have a deeply recessed shape reminiscent of Ibanez's flagship RG model, which makes it easier to play in the higher positions.

◆Jumbo Stainless Frets
It features excellent maintainability, a quick attack, good note separation even when playing chords, and a clear sound even when playing single notes.
It features a jumbo size, which allows for light touch fingering and is excellent for playing fast passages and smooth bending.

◆T106 Tremolo Bridge
Like the Prestige AZ and Premium AZ, it features a narrow 10.5mm string spacing design, prioritizing ease of use for picking techniques that span across strings, such as string skipping and hybrid picking.
It features six independent saddles, allowing for easy adjustment of the height and intonation of each string.

◆Non-recessed bridge cavity
The top surface of the body has no recesses.
Because the bridge plate and the guitar body are in direct contact, it features improved expressiveness in dynamics, enhanced reproduction of playing nuances, and excellent resonance.

◆Ibanez Classic Custom Pickup
Equipped with Ibanez original single-coil pickups using Alnico magnets in the neck and middle positions, this guitar features a warm, clear, and natural tone.
The bridge position features an original Ibanez humbucker pickup with a ceramic magnet, characterized by its powerful and dynamic tone.

◆Alter switch for dyna-MIX 9 wiring
With a single flick of a mini-switch, you can freely switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, allowing you to play nine different sound variations.
The neck and center single-coil pickups are wired in series to simulate the sound of a 22-fret neck humbucker.
This switching system is ideal for modern guitar players who need to perform multiple roles with limited equipment.

◆Mono-unit Output Jack: A robust, damage-resistant, one-piece resin design with minimal differences in electrical conductivity depending on the plug type.
It also prevents poor contact and disconnection due to a loose jack.

◆Ibanez locking machine heads
To enhance the convenience of string changes, it features original Ibanez locking machine heads.
The design allows you to easily lock the strings through the post holes by turning a dial with your finger.
