Key Features
Ibanez asked the experts what guitar perfection looks like. They listened, they learned, and then they made it happen. The Ibanez AZ2204 Prestige was the result, and it truly lives up to the name. There's excellence in every area - the revolutionary, height-adjustable Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads offer first-class tuning stability and fine-tuned string tension every time.
Ibanez decided that a guitar as special as the AZ2204 deserved a pickup to match, and Seymour-Duncan came up with the goods. From screaming distortion to delicate cleans, the bespoke Hyperion pickups retain perfect balance and clarity. With an Ibanez hardshell case included as standard, the AZ2204 Prestige is the complete package for the modern guitarist.

Ibanez's vision for the AZ Prestige line began with a problem. How to satisfy a contemporary guitarist's need for ultimate control, clarity and character, no matter the style. The solution was Seymour-Duncan's Hyperion pickups. Specially designed for the AZ range, the amount of ground this revolutionary pickup set can cover is astonishing.
In standard mode, the 5-way selector lets you switch between the luscious pair of single-coils and their matching bridge humbucker - expect outstanding detail through complex chords and searing solos. Flick the Alter Switch, and the dyna-MIX9 switching system opens up 4 additional configurations, allowing your chords to crunch and solos to sing across the full spectrum of gain. The ultimate all-rounders.
Eye-catching and ear-catching. The AZ2204's roasted maple neck and fingerboard sound as beautiful as they look. Designed with the dancing digits of virtuosos like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani in mind, the neck's smooth oiled finish and easy to hold oval C-shape will never hold you back. The fretboard's naturally bright and resonant tone is matched by its superior playability. Wide and tall stainless steel frets and a smoothed edge help you create crystal-clear chords and give complete comfort. And with glow-in-the-dark luminlay position dots on the side, the AZ2204 Prestige is made to step up your stage presence, even on dimly lit stages. A connoisseur's constant companion.
Pitch-perfect tuning and stunning stability. Ibanez's quest for quality doesn't stop with their choice of bridge or tuners. The AZ2204 is equipped with world-class Gotoh hardware from top to bottom. The T1802 synchronised tremolo bridge lets you spice up your licks with virtuosic vibrato dives, while the high-spec Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads keep your tuning in check. Gotoh's state-of-the-art H.A.P (Height Adjustable Post) system also means you can fine-tune the tension of each individual string, so your fingers will flow evenly around the fretboard from string one to string six. Accurate, consistent hardware that lasts a lifetime.
