The Ibanez Premium AZ224BCG-DET Deep Espresso Burst is the perfect tool for the modern guitarist looking for a top-of-the-line electric guitar for the most virtuoso playing techniques in rock, fusion and jazz contexts. The electric guitar not only convinces with an ergonomic design and versatile sounds, but also with an extremely attractive price. In addition to the basswood body with a chic bocote top, the guitar features a neck made of roasted maple, which convinces with unhindered playability, while specially developed Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups with dyna-MIX9 circuitry provide versatile sounds with lively articulation. The Ibanez Premium AZ224BCG-DET Deep Espresso Burst also features a Gotoh T1502 tremolo and Gotoh H.A.P. Magnum Lock tuners.
For the ergonomically designed body of the Ibanez AZ224BCG, Ibanez chose American basswood and a top made of intensely drawn bocote, whereby wide cutaways and the "Super All Access Neck Joint" make even the highest positions easily accessible. But the absolute highlight of the Ibanez Premium AZ224BCG-DET Deep Espresso Burst is undoubtedly the bolt-on Roasted Maple neck. Through the thermal treatment in vacuum, the used maple gains resonance and becomes insensitive to climate changes. The medium-strong "AZ" profile sits comfortably in the hand so that between the 22 stainless steel frets in jumbo format every song, no matter how complex, can be played comfortably from the fingers. Fluorescent side dots allow playing on dark stages.
Für eine optimale Tonwandlung steuert niemand geringeres als Seymour Duncan die Pickups der Ibanez Premium AZ224BCG-DET Deep Espresso Burst bei. Hierbei überzeugen die zwei in Hals- und Mittelposition verbauten Seymour Duncan Hyperion Single Coils und der am Steg platzierte Seymour Duncan Hyperion Humbucker mit einem mit einem moderat erhöhten Output und einer ausgewogenen Wiedergabe aller Frequenzen, sodass in Verbindung mit der lebendigen Dynamik ausdrucksstarkes E-Gitarre spielen bestens unterstützt wird. Ausgewählt werden die Tonabnehmer in gewohnten Kombinationen mithilfe des 5-Wege Klingenschalters, wobei dank dyna-MIX9 Schaltung zusätzliche Optionen abgerufen werden können. So steht nach Betätigung des "Alter"-Switches nicht nur die serielle Verschaltung beider Single Coils bereit, sondern auch der gleichzeitige Betrieb aller Tonabnehmer.
Last but not least, the Ibanez Premium AZ224BCG-DET Deep Espresso Burst convinces with first-class hardware equipment. The Gotoh T1502 Tremolo, which was specially developed for the Ibanez Premium AZ series, is used as a bridge and is equipped with stainless steel string saddles to enhance the sound. With string spacings of 10.5 mm, it also supports the optimal striking technique. At the headstock, the strings are also guided via a GraphTech saddle to the Gotoh Magnum Lock H.A.P. tuners, whose height-adjustable winding axes guarantee optimum string pressure.
