Ibanez AZ2202A Prestige, Tri Fade Burst

Full Description

Sculpted to perfection

Perfection has a new name. And it’s called the AZ2202A Premium. Built by master luthiers Ibanez, this flagship axe is the definition of beauty. The ash body is crafted from prime grade materials, lending itself to great aesthetics, and even greater tone. A shallow body back contour fits the player naturally, giving you plenty of room to get creative. Once amplified, the AZ2202A sings with natural, woody sustain, whilst remaining light enough to play your favourite riffs for hours. And with added neck reinforcement, you’ll never have to worry about damages stopping you playing.

The titan of tone

The true meaning of firepower. Right at your fingertips. The AZ2202A Premium gets its colossal tone from two signature Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Explore crunchy, aggressive timbre thanks to alnico-5 magnets. The results are obvious. Medium output clarity that’s fully responsive to pick attack and dynamics. Both Hyperion pickups work together for an ultimate balance of treble and bass, even when distorted. From hard rock to heavy metal, the AZ2202A can do it all.

Total control

For the player who demands the best. The AZ2202A Premium goes above and beyond. This is exactly what the modern player needs to slay. With Ibanez’s advanced electronics, you can take your Hyperion pickups to the next level. Alongside a 5-way toggle switch, the AZ2202A features a dyna-MIX 10 alter switch with ten impressive sound variations. That’s ultimate versatility, perfect for any playing style. Go from classic humbucker tone to realistic single coil charm. It’s all possible with this signature axe.

Take your riffs sky high

Fierce solos are great. But why not take them into the stratosphere? Whether you love to play super fast licks or laid back riffs, the AZ2202A Premium gives your room to explore new possibilities. And it’s all thanks to the T1802 tremolo system. This fully responsive bridge takes great care of your strings, ensuring they stay in tune after huge dive bombs and soaring vibrato. The steel saddles offer quick response and improved articulation, whilst the Magnum locking machine heads provide stability and strength. This is guitar playing that legends are made of.

Comfort in every note

Guitar playing doesn’t have to be hard. Even if it does sound hardcore. Ibanez ensures comfortable playing at every fret position. The Roasted maple neck is expertly crafted for a smooth ride up and down the S-Tech fretboard. That means superior attack, well-balanced tone, and rich sustain. Achieve even timbre from an oil impregnated bone nut, and flawless playability from stainless steel jumbo frets. There’ll be no end to your capabilities. The AZ2202A is great for dark stages too. Never lose your place with specially designed luminescent side dots. You’ll never hit a wrong note again.
