A guitar that covers all bases. And still sounds exceptional every time. When you're starting out, the world is your oyster. There are countless genres for you to try, and you don’t want to be held back; you need full freedom to be as expressive as you like. The guitar makers at Ibanez are gods of sublime craftsmanship, and they know exactly how to create an instrument that oozes versatility, down to every last detail. Showcased front and centre are two single coil pickups and one humbucker - the ultimate powerhouses for an explosion of articulate, dynamic sound. Their balanced response across the whole frequency range gives you ample opportunity to soar from rumbling lows to sharp, shimmering highs, whatever your style.
Three magnificent pickups aren't enough. If you're a demanding guitarist and you want that adrenaline rush every time you play, the dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch will meet your every need. This innovative creation offers nine thrilling sound variations and allows you to go from humbucker to single coil modes in the blink of an eye. You'll never be short of new, exhilarating tonal possibilities to try.
Crafted specifically for the AZ Essentials series, numerous features on this guitar accommodate easy learning. And if you're an intermediate player, you can be sure to thrive too. The mono-unit jack output is rugged and durable, ensuring there is no movement or loosening of the jack when you're going wild on stage or strumming ferociously during rehearsal. Relish the convenience of being able to play for hours with very little maintenance - you'll nail those techniques in no time. Better still, the 25" scale and medium sized frets, showcased on a smooth jatoba fretboard with a 250mm radius, then let you glide from fret to fret easily, and will stick with you as your skills mature. Soar straight to the top frets whilst your notes escape from the strings like sparks, an all access neck joint makes reaching every inch of the fretboard an effortless feat.
Even in the finest of details, Ibanez know how to cause a storm. The T106 tremolo bridge lends itself to anything from gentle chordal warbles to psychedelic, searing-hot pitch bends. It features newly developed comfort round steel saddles and allows for greater height adjustment and quick setups. The screws also lie closer to the body, meaning your strumming hand will be much more comfortable.
