The Ibanez Prestige AZ2204NW-MGR Mint Green combines the AZ design designed for modern playing techniques with a special focus on traditional vintage sounds.

For the optimized bolt-on construction of the Prestige AZ2204NW, Ibanez relies on premium tonewoods that promise a lively sound.

The electrical tone conversion of the Ibanez Prestige AZ2204NW is handled by an HSS setup from California-based pickup winder Seymour Duncan, designed specifically for this model. Equipped with Alnico magnets and a moderate output, the Seymour Duncan Fortuna single coils in neck and mid positions together with the Fortuna humbucker placed at the bridge provide natural vintage sounds with finely balanced bass, mid and treble, capturing even subtle nuances in playing and transmitting them to the guitar amp. The Ibanez dyna-MIX9 circuit with classic 5-way switch and Alter switch promises here through flexible circuit options a particularly rich palette of musical timbres for lively clean and overdrive sounds.
Last but not least, an optimally tuned hardware setup completes the Ibanez Prestige AZ2204NW-MGR Mint Green. Set to rest on the body with five springs, the Gotoh T1702B tremolo with brass tailpieces and block supports the lively vintage character of the electric guitar but also allows smooth down-bends for harmonic tone embellishments. At the headstock, the strings are also guided with a straight pull over the bone nut, before they are held by the precise and tuning stable Gotoh Magnum Lock H.A.P. tuners, whose height-adjustable winding axles allow the precise adjustment of the contact pressure of the strings on the nut.
