First-class woods and unhindered playing comfortFor the ergonomically curved body of the Ibanez AZ2204, Ibanez selects the classic alder wood, whereby wide cut cutaways and the "Super All Access Neck Joint" make even the highest layers easily accessible. The absolute highlight of the Ibanez AZ2204 is without a doubt the screwed neck made of S-Tech Wood Roasted Maple. This maple wood is thermally treated in a pure nitrogen atmosphere, making it insensitive to climate changes and gaining an excellent resonance. The medium-strong "AZ Oval C" profile lies comfortably in the hand, so that even the most complex song can easily get out of your fingers between the 22 stainless steel frets in jumbo format. Fluorescent side dots allow optimal orientation even on the darkest stages.
Seymour Duncan Hyperion Pickups with dyna-MIX9 circuitFor an optimal sound conversion nobody less than Seymour Duncan contributes the pickups of the Ibanez AZ2204. The two Seymour Duncan Hyperion single coils in neck and middle position and the Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbucker placed on the bridge convince with a moderately increased output and a balanced reproduction of all frequencies, so that in connection with the lively dynamics expressive electric guitar playing is optimally supported. The pickups are selected in familiar combinations using the 5-way blade switch, whereby additional options can be called up thanks to the dyna-MIX9 circuit. After the "Alter" switch is actuated, not only the serial connection of both single coils is available, but also the simultaneous operation of all pickups.
