Styled in a blue iceberg gradation finish, the Ibanez Premium Series AZ22F is an electric guitar fashioned out of flamed maple and American basswood. Its neck, which offers a 25.5" scale, is crafted out of roasted maple, offering a roasted maple fingerboard with 22 stainless-steel jumbo frets. Black dot inlays are provided, as are luminescent side inlays so you can 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 other more humbucker in sound. Volume and tone knobs are also on hand to shape your timbre.
