Styled in an ice blue metallic finish, the Ibanez Prestige Series AZ2204 is an electric guitar with a double-cutaway body. It sports an alder body with a bright, upper-midrange forward response that'll cut through the mix on stage or in the studio.
Its neck, which offers a 25.5" scale, is crafted out of maple that's been roasted to stability, durability, and a feel more commensurate with vintage instruments than out-of-the-box axes. Atop the neck sits a roasted maple fingerboard with 22 stainless-steel jumbo frets. Black dot inlays are provided, as are luminescent side inlays that help you track fret positions on darkened stages. Strings are anchored to the body by a Gotoh T1502 tremolo bridge, while the headstock makes use of Gotoh MAGNUM LOCK machine heads.
For electronics, this guitar employs two Seymour Duncan Hyperion single coil pickups and one Hyperion humbucker. These feature a moderate output to preserve the clarity of your tone, even when you're playing through heaps of distortion. They also help you retain the definition of your pick attack, though not at the expense of tonal balance.
The guitar gives you a 5-way pickup selector switch, but two different pickup configurations are available through the Alter mini-switch. This gives you effectively nine different guitar tones, some single-coil focused, and others more like a humbucker in sound. Volume and tone knobs are also on hand to shape your timbre. A hardshell case is included.
