DISC Ibanez AZ2204 Prestige Limited Edition, Gold

Full Description

Superior Seymour Duncan tone

When thinking about high-quality guitar sound, Seymour Duncans are the first pickups that spring to mind. And for good reason, too. The Ibanez Prestige AZ2204 comes loaded with three Hyperion pickups, to deliver those soaring lead tones and gritty chords.

In the bridge position, the Hyperion humbucker. Humbuckers are characterised by their ability to produce scorching distorted tones with exceptional clarity – and the AZ2204 is no different. The alnico 5 magnets allow for a medium output sound, which maintains impeccable balance even when playing at high levels of gain. So you can perform distorted solos with a tone that pierces through the mix with ease.

The neck and middle positions both host single coil pickups, offering a clear pick attack with every note. What this means, is that every riff, chord, and lick you play will ooze with definition and tonal balance. So, your overall sound will possess a well-roundedness that others simply can’t compete with, making this Prestige model perfect for shredders, rockers, and everything in between.

Prime playability

Free of restriction. The Prestige AZ2204 is home to one of the most exhilarating playing experiences to date. And it’s all thanks to sleek, lightweight detail that Ibanez have incorporated into every inch of this Prestige model.

Ibanez know what it takes to make a guitar that’s both easy and enjoyable to play. Which is why the AZ2204 features a double-cutaway body design. Offering effortless access to the upper frets, you can take control of every note on the fretboard with no complications. An oval “C” shaped neck fits snug in the palm of the player’s hand, letting you perform and practice for long sessions without any straining or cramp.

To make it even more addictive to play, the roasted maple fretboard surface is ultra-smooth, meaning your fingers can glide up and down the entirety of the scale at high speeds. Because, ultimately, a guitar is about more than just sound. It’s about the feel, too.

The peak of versatility

Not only does the AZ2204 sound incredible, but it thrives in any genre. From blues, to heavy metal – you name it. It’s the coil-tap function that gifts this guitar with its wide-ranging sound, letting you select and combine your desired pickup sounds. So, if you want a single-coil sound from your bridge humbucker, you can.

There are endless ways to alter your tone, because Ibanez know that guitar playing is about creating your own unique sound. A 5-way pickup selector allows you to switch between the 3 pickups, which blends with the alter switch to let you find the pickup voice you want. This is a guitar that truly is tailored for the player.
