Ibanez AZ Guitars - Why are they so popular? 

I've had one for a year (the cerulean blue H-S-S) and I love it.

Thx for the demo and discussion, I decided to send mine back.. still looking.

They are a joy to play, and they look fabulous!

Roast all the maple!

I have quite a few guitars but my main guitar, my number one is an AZ2204. I have four AZ guitars, two Prestige 2204 and two Premium one AZ226 and one AZ242.

i'm buying my first ibanez because of word of mouth recommendations. the azs (the s is for telecaster) isn't out yet, but guitar shop convinced be it was worth preordering.

I was considering a Suhr but after lots of research I decided that neck stability was the most important thing for me. Tone, feel and stability that’s what I want at a reasonable price = Ibanez prestige.

Does anyone know the name of the backing track, from the beginning of the video? Because, it's really beautiful-sounding.

Awesome 👍😎

This guy seems like the nicest guy ever lol

Does the bridge go to both directions?

You know why the AZ is popular? It’s frikken amazing

Well... cuz they’re awesome

I own 2 AZ prestige guitars and can say the reason I love them so much is that they are vintage sounding guitars (medium to low output pickups) with a traditional or classic aesthetic but with modern playability. I love the flat radius fretboard and neck profile with stainless steel frets and locking tuners. Also the price point, I always wanted a Suhr guitar but couldn't justify spending nearly $5k here in Australia on one, the AZ comes in at $3k ish with more modern features. Love them!

Is this just a modern Ibanez CT-Series?

How noisey are the Single Coils when over driven?

That is some serious ‘parlour’ wall paper.

I had a brief obsession with owning an AZ guitar but since the pandemic availability has been really poor. A while back I finally got the chance to play an AZ premium and it was a great guitar. But then I picked up a Charvel dk24 off the rack and it was game over. The Charvel with the roasted maple neck, 2pt trem, and medium output pickups is a direct competitor against the AZ and any other "cheaper Suhr" alternatives on the market. However to me the Charvel outshined the AZ when it came to the pickups and the incredible feeling compound radius neck which is the best neck I've ever played. And the best part? They're still easy to find on the market for anyone in the US. Now I just want to own more Charvels they're so incredibly good and underrated.

Theyre so good because they are qell made, they last and stay in tune keeping prices affordable. I have a s470, had many rg and gios. Just like yamahas you cant go wrong with any of them.

They already roasted hence you can't roast them anymore... Hence u gotta play them ? 😬
