Optimum handling
As a member of the Ibanez AZ series, the AZES40 electric guitar impresses with first-class playing characteristics that make learning to play the guitar a pleasure. The generously shaped poplar body nestles comfortably against the player, while the all-access neck joint together with the wide cutaways guarantees unhindered access to the high positions of the bolt-on maple neck. The combination of the 25" scale length (635 mm) and the slim AZES neck profile with just 20.5 mm of wood under the first fret also promises buttery-smooth playability.
Ibanez Essentials pickups in HSS configuration and the dyna-MIX9 circuit promise a versatile sound.
Flexible sound shaping
With the Ibanez Essentials HSS pickup setup, AZES40 delivers flexible guitar sounds on the guitar amplifier that feel at home in almost any genre from jazz to rock. The Essentials single coils equipped with ceramic magnets provide a transparent sound image for glassy cleans and harmonic overdrive, while the Essentials ceramic humbucker on the bridge contributes powerful and mid-range accentuated tones for a juicy distortion. The dyna-MIX9 circuit with 5-way switch and Alter Switch provides nine different combinations of pickups, so that the right sound is available for almost any application.
Ibanez split-shaft machine heads with closed housing ensure precise and stable tuning of the electric guitar.
Indestructible hardware equipment
Last but not least, the Ibanez AZ Essentials AZES40 Tungsten electric guitar boasts indestructible hardware equipment. The Ibanez T106 tremolo on the body decorates the melodies or chords played with shimmering pitch modulations if desired. The rounded "Comfort Round" string riders of the tremolo not only guarantee optimum adjustment of intonation and string action, but also provide a comfortable rest for the palm of the hand when playing palm mutes. Split-shaft tuners on the headstock also promise high tuning stability and easy string changes.
