Ibanez AZ2402 REVIEW | Will this guitar make you a BETTER PLAYER??? 

You deserve your channel to get growing fast!! Your by far my favorite guitar channel.. Your enthusiasm makes your videos shine! Keep up the good work.

Great demo dude. I just stumbled on your channel. I have a Charvel DK24 2pt HH and I feel like its a nearly identical guitar essentially. Love it and considering an AZ in the future, because Ibanez rocks!

Great playing and review. Thanks for covering clean and gained up

Awesome playing and video, thank you for sharing! I have a az prestige myself and had such high hopes with this instrument. There definitely is alot of positive and negative feedback on the prestige and premium line. I think it boils down to quality control. When I received my prestige it had horrible dead zones on various of frets and it was very noticable. Since then I've had some fret work done and even with some leveling I can encounter mild dead notes. I also own the Scott lepage premium az and that guitar came in wonderful playing condition! Every fret sings and it's just a joy to play. The prestige has a more quality feel compared to the premium line but the attention to detail on the fret work(on my particular guitar) was a huge disappointment. The premium is a very good playing guitar with some beautiful appointmentments and the attention to detail on the one I received was excellent. Your prestige is beautiful!

This is the best video I've seen for the az series. It's informative and honest. I'm buying one this weekend so I've been watching all the vids. I was gonna go with the model you bought because I love the finish but I think I'm gonna go with the hss for more straty sounds. Also, really great playing.

So much effort into selling people a product... (makes you think twice about it). Listening to you playing guitar, on the other hand, makes it all so much more worthwhile. Keep it up, Jimmy.

Nice demo Jimmy 🤘 I'm getting this exact model (left handed configuration) as my first electric. I don't think I would ever need another guitar 😅

Any thoughts on using these pickups for modern metal type tones? I'd be running it through an EVH 5150 with a boost in front of it. If anyone has experience with these types of tones feel free to share. Cheers

I have the the same guitar in metallic blue, bought it without test playing it. After I got it set up professionally including the tremolo to stay in tune, this guitar is an all around tool. The tone coming out of this guitar is incredible.

Given how many styles you cycled through in this video I'd say the Ibanez AZ is a perfect match for you. I'm looking to branch out more in my playing as I've gravitated towards heavier things for the last 15 years or so but now I'm into lighter more melodic-sounding fare. In fact, I recently discovered a band called Polyphia who switched from Ibanez RGs to the AZs and who now have their own signature AZ models which only adds to my desire to want to own one.

Love it. I just need it in a HSS mode!

This was my original choice to purchase however the new Marco Sfogli MSM100 AZ came along, i love the green burst. I have ibby's with the tone zones etc already and was struggling as to why Marco would just drop the exact same pick ups in his new model. I would be ok with that but he could have at least added the coil tap. You sold me man, the AZ2402 is the one! Oh, great tones man!

proper dramatic exit!

Just ordered the same model, I own a Premium AZ which is, luckily, a great playing instrument.

Dude Ibanez should have you on their payroll...honestly. Mine is on the way from sweetwater and having it Plek’t before they ship to me. Can’t wait!!!! You’re also an incredible guitarist....inspirational.

I do not know if I want the HH or the HSS, is the 24 frets really worth it, and have you noticed a difference in neck pickups regarding single-coil tones? Is the tone g-spot as Scott LePage calls it real??

This seems better than my Ibanez 'S' Prestige I bought fourteen years ago. The neck looks chunkier and it's more strat sounding I really like it.

Great review and epic playing. Got mine on the way.

Man, joyous guitar reviews are the best! Music is fun! Thanks!

I've always been bothered for missing out on the shell pink version of this AZ, but the sunburst is slowly growing on me...

What’s the fingerboard radius?

Hi, how does the angled cable output jack feel when playing this in the classical position? This guitar seems dope, and I really want to buy this, but I'm worried I might need to raise my leg really high to avoid cable issues / putting pressure on the jack point if I want to play in the classical posture.

Hi there great video! just wondered if in the split coil tones can you get a strat quack position 2/4 tone? also how does the guitar feel for string bending? thanks...

Luminlays are the greatest thing to happen to guitarists since guitars!

Is the bridge top,routed for pull ups and how much does the guitar weigh?

I love this girl...and great playing man 👍

Was there a big adjustment required when you went the 009’s? (They ship with 10’s ) Big question - did your playing suck before you got this? Maybe it came with a really really good method book 🤔

New subscriber here in the need for affordable alternatives. Would love to see a comparison video of this and a Charvel DK24 HH 2pt and maybe even the Harley Benton Fusion II HSH Roasted Maple! Great stuff man!

Thanks for the review. Considering this guitar but mainly concerned about "tuning stability" issues reported online quite frequently. I'm not a big tremolo user (non Floyd Rose user) at all so I wouldn't be using the guitar for big dive bombs. Overall are you having issues with tuning when performing big bends/playing hard. Thanks!!

You are a monster player! Thanks for sharing. How does this compare to the Pro Mod Style 2 you had/have. Is this far more useful/versatile? Are they even comparable? Thanks!

Great playing and sound! I subscribe your channel and like too! 😉

Hey Dude - do you still have this guitar? If so, how's it holding up for you? Any issues with tuning stability or anything else? / Thx.

Dude...09's are Amazing! :)

I’m seriously considering this guitar (since its also one of the few left handed Prestige models). But I’m curious how wide the body is at it’s widest point

hey man, great video!! i have the same guitar, but the problem that i have when i use the alter switch or go to the split positions, i lose really quite a lot of volume.. i was wondering if you experienced anything similar, or if you might know a solution?

Damn I need one of these so bad. I'd be content for a few years at least if I got one of these.

I wish it has the regular ibanez headstock shape

I wish it has a Fender sunburst...they make the best sunburst!

i drool this guitar

There is a 22 fret version that has nice grain ash body, which I like more than this one. I just prefer the neck pickup position in the regular 22 fret neck guitar, creamier neck pickup sound that way

Youre loving it so much that the instrument screams for it!

Spanish: a cabron que rico English: damn bro that's tasty Looking to get the 2 poplar ones, bucket list guitar

I play a lot of modern country and I'm thinking this is perfect.

Oh...it also has Illuminati dots...

I've watched a lot of az 2402 reviews and I've noticed that basically none of the reviewers do dive bombs with the vibrato arm...in fact a lot of reviewers do t even have the arm attached... Why is that.....or is it obvious...

Hey I wanna get the guitar but how exactly does the neck feel ? Like a strat/charvel or even bigger ?

Review Starts at 4:44

I really love this guitar, I want one so bad but ibanez doesn't sell it here in Mexico. I'll have to go to USA or buy it online... I hate my life.

This or AZ2204B?

Is it silent when you split the coils?

This or the Martin miller model??? I'm between the two. The Martin miller is mohagony body tho

Good for metal genre?

i have the same guitar, it doesnt make you a better player, if youre good you can make any guitar with a decent setup sing, this fellow could make an Esteban guitar sound good

1:43. What the kids like nowadays? Dude, you're a very young man, I wish I was your age. Getting old is a bitch.

You should play faster. hahaha.
