{"product_id":"724443","title":"Ibanez Premium AZ42P1-BK (Black)","description":"The AZ Premium: The standard model for the new generation of guitarists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆AZ Oval C Roasted Maple neck\u003cbr\u003e The neck is made of heat-treated maple wood.\u003cbr\u003e Heat treatment is expected to provide features such as shape stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes. After several prototypes and tests, we concluded that a neck thickness of 20.5*22.5 (at 1F*12F) is the best.\u003cbr\u003e The back of the neck has a satin finish, providing a smooth playing feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Rosewood fretboard w\/Jumbo Stainless Frets\u003cbr\u003e With the goal of ensuring that the strings don't get muffled even with large-range bends and that chord work doesn't cause stress on the fingers or hands, we incorporated several challenges, including the combination with the neck, into several prototypes and arrived at this 305mmR fingerboard after much trial and error.\u003cbr\u003e The fretboard is made of rosewood, which is characterized by its resonant, mild midrange sound.\u003cbr\u003e The frets are made of stainless steel with a crown height of 1.4mm and a width of 2.7mm, and a hardness of 220. 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\u003cbr\u003e ◆Seymour Duncan Hyperion Pickups\u003cbr\u003e We obtained dozens of different pickups and measured the frequency characteristics of all of them. From these, 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. Designed with a focus on picking responsiveness and reproduction, the output is kept relatively low so that some of the original clean tone remains even when distorted. We prioritized the overall balance, from treble to bass, and the resonance of each string from the 1st to the 6th, and also pursued good effect compatibility. All magnets are made of Alnico-5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆dyna-MIX 10 switching system w\/Alter switch\u003cbr\u003e dyna-MIX 10 switching system w\/Alter switch\u003cbr\u003e With a single flick of a mini-switch, you can freely switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, ensuring a wide variety of sounds. This switching system is ideal for modern guitar players who need to perform multiple roles with limited equipment.\u003cbr\u003e ○Alter switch\u003cbr\u003e HH model…Switches to Power Tap mode, which delivers a realistic single-coil sound. One coil is tapped, and the other coil's low frequencies are enhanced with special wiring, resulting in a clear high-frequency range and a thick, well-defined sound that cannot be achieved with simple tapping.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Gotoh T1502 tremolo bridge\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 Ibanez Edge tremolo arms and ultra-light tremolo arms (carbon fiber\/UTA20\/sold separately). The arm can be attached with a snap-in mechanism without having to twist it in like conventional arms. It also features an arm torque adjustment mechanism that allows the arm angle to be fixed or released according to the player's preference. 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 ◆An ergonomic body back contour\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 create a sense of unity between the player and the guitar, greatly contributing to improved playability. The deeper waist of the body also improves handling when held and on stage, resulting in superior playability. The different radius of the corners on the front and back of the body create an ergonomic design that feels comfortable the moment you pick up the guitar, whether sitting or standing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Super All Access Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003e The Super All Access neck joint features a stepped carving on the back of the body with an 8mm height difference, and the neck joint is finished with a spherical surface to achieve superior playability.\u003cbr\u003e The cutaway on the bass string side is designed to be shallower, maximizing the contact area between the body and neck. This achieves both high playability and excellent sustain and resonance.\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 ◆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\u003cbr\u003e *The image is a sample.
