Ibanez AZ224F BIG Electric Guitar in Soft Case - Blue Iceberg Gradation Currently, we are seeing an explosion of young contemporary guitarists pushing their playing techniques into exciting new directions. We are viewing this trend as the beginning of a third phase of guitar playing. All at Ibanez have challenged themselves as guitar designers to step up and answer the needs of this third phase. Even though Ibanez is thought of as a modern guitar brand, we have decades of accumulated knowledge and a history of pushing the boundaries. The AZ series carries with it all of the hallmarks of these tried and tested Ibanez qualities: the smooth oval neck grip, the well balanced asymmetrical body shape, and the neck heel allowing unrivaled playability. neck type AZ Roasted Maple neck body Flamed Maple top/American Basswood body fretboard Roasted Maple fretboard w/Black dot inlay fret Jumbo Stainless Steel frets bridge Gotoh® T1502 tremolo bridge neck pickup Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ (S) neck pickup (Passive/Alnico) middle pickup Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ (S) middle pickup (Passive/Alnico) bridge pickup Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ (H) bridge pickup (Passive/Alnico) nut Graph Tech® nut hardware color Chrome
