Ibanez's incredibly successful AZ series gets a single-cut sibling. Simply put, a modernized version of a classic single-cut design. Much is recognizable from the previous versions, the same fantastic "oval C" neck profile with a 12" radius, the same perfectly mounted steel frets, etc. If you have played AZ before, you feel right at home. Sound-wise, they are exactly where guitars with this design should be, but with all the modern playability you could want from a high-end Prestige Ibanez.

The body is Al and is designed to be comfortable to play whether you are sitting or standing and playing. Classic single-cut shape but with a nice arm-cut that gives a soft and welcoming playing feel. The neck is attached to the body with Ibanez's new Super All Access Neck Joint, which is a further development of their well-proven All Access Neck Joint. This means that the entire neck is extremely accessible without having to cut too much wood and begin to have a negative effect on the tone.
Seymour Duncan® Magic Touch mini (N) and Alnico II Pro Custom (B) pickups. The Magic Touch-mini is a pure mini humbucker neck pickup that offers all the sounds you normally associate with guitars of this design but with a little extra body. Output in the mic is perfectly calibrated to work well with the stall mic for that magical mid-range sound. Alnico II Pro Custom is exactly all the twang, clarity and bite you want and with a lovely singing midrange.
