They offer excellent maintainability, a quick attack, good note separation when playing chords, and a clear sound when playing individual notes.\u003cbr\u003e It features a jumbo size, which allows for light touch fingering and is excellent for playing fast passages and smooth bending.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, it features highly visible 3.0mm diameter phosphorescent dot position markers that adapt to rapidly changing performance environments due to lighting and other factors. You won't lose sight of the notes you want to play, even on a dark stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆A shallow body back contour \u0026amp; Super All Access Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003e This is an original body shape designed with a contemporary aesthetic in mind.\u003cbr\u003e The thin body contour and large elbow contour, reminiscent of Ibanez's flagship S model, create a sense of unity between the player and the guitar, greatly contributing to improved playability.\u003cbr\u003e The deeper waist of the body improves handling when held and on stage, resulting in superior playability.\u003cbr\u003e The body has different corner radii on the front and back, with a radius of R3mm on the front and R8mm on the back, resulting in an ergonomic design that provides a comfortable fit the moment you pick up the guitar, whether sitting or standing.\u003cbr\u003e It features a Super All Access Neck Joint, which achieves high playability by carving an 8mm height difference from the back of the body and finishing the neck joint with a spherical surface.\u003cbr\u003e The bass string side features a shallower cutaway, maximizing the contact area between the body and neck. This design maintains high playability while simultaneously achieving excellent sustain and resonance. Furthermore, the horn and cutaway have a deeply sculpted shape reminiscent of Ibanez's flagship RG model, ensuring ease of playing in the higher positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Seymour Duncan×Ibanez collaboration pickups “Hyperion”\u003cbr\u003e We obtained dozens of different pickups and measured the frequency characteristics of all of them. From those, we determined the specifications and sound image of the pickup that we thought was best suited for the AZ, and created this AZ-exclusive pickup in collaboration with Seymour Duncan, a pickup brand with a long history and a reputation for continuing to innovate.\u003cbr\u003e These custom pickups are designed to retain some of the original clean tone even when distorted, with a slightly reduced output across the board, prioritizing picking responsiveness and accuracy.\u003cbr\u003e We prioritized overall balance, from the treble to the bass, and even the tone of each string from the 1st to the 6th, while also striving for excellent effect response. Alnico-5 magnets are used.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Alter switch for dyna-MIX 9 wiring\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e The neck and center single-coil pickups are wired in series to simulate the sound of a 22-fret neck humbucker.\u003cbr\u003e This switching system is ideal for modern guitar players who need to perform multiple roles with limited equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Gotoh T1502 tremolo bridge with Steel saddles 10.5mm string spacing Snap and hold arm socket\u003cbr\u003e The GOTOH 510 bridge, widely regarded by many players and brands as the definitive tremolo bridge, has been reborn through a collaboration between Ibanez and GOTOH.\u003cbr\u003e Featuring machined steel saddles and a zinc die-cast inertia block for quick response and a tight sound, this guitar also boasts excellent note separation during chord work.\u003cbr\u003e The string spacing is a narrow 10.5mm, designed to make it easier to pick across strings, a feature demanded by players who frequently use string skipping and hybrid picking.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, it features an arm socket that allows the use of the Ibanez Edge tremolo arm and the Ultra Light Tremolo Arm (carbon fiber\/UTA20\/sold separately).\u003cbr\u003e Unlike conventional tonearms that require twisting, this tonearm can be attached with a snap-in mechanism. It also features an arm torque adjustment mechanism that allows players to fix or release the arm angle according to their preference.\u003cbr\u003e In addition, it comes standard with a stud lock mechanism that firmly secures the studs with grub screws embedded in them, greatly contributing to tuning stability and resonance.\u003cbr\u003e It employs a two-point floating support system that allows for smooth arming and arm-up movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Graph Tech tu\u003cbr\u003e It features a Graph Tech nut, which boasts smooth tuning stability. It achieves both a clear sound and excellent sustain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads\u003cbr\u003e To enhance the convenience of string changes, we've adopted Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, which are renowned for their tuning stability.\u003cbr\u003e The design allows you to easily lock the strings through the post holes by turning a dial with your finger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *The image is a sample.
