Ibanez AZ2407F Prestige Electric Guitar in Brownish Sphalerite with Hardshell Case

The Ibanez AZ2407F Prestige is a professional-grade electric guitar crafted in Japan, designed to offer exceptional versatility, playability, and tonal range. It features a solid basswood body with a striking flamed maple top finished in a gloss polyester 'Brownish Sphalerite' colour. The instrument is built with an ergonomic AZ body shape that includes a shallow back contour and deep waist, making it comfortable to play whether standing or sitting. This design philosophy extends to the 'Super All Access' bolt-on neck joint, which provides the feel of a set-neck guitar while maintaining the practical benefits of a bolt-on construction. The guitar's core components are selected for performance and reliability. The neck is made from roasted maple treated with Ibanez's S-TECH process, which enhances stability and resistance to environmental changes. It features an oval 'C' profile with a smooth oil finish and is fitted with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets that include Prestige Fret Edge Treatment for fast, smooth playing. The electronics comprise a versatile HSH configuration with DiMarzio pickups: an Air Norton humbucker at the neck, a True Velvet single-coil in the middle, and a Tone Zone humbucker at the bridge. These are controlled via a single volume, single tone, and a 5-way lever switch, allowing for a wide spectrum of sounds from sparkling cleans to powerful, warm overdrive. Hardware includes a high-quality Gotoh T1502S tremolo bridge with steel saddles and block for improved articulation and a Gotoh MG-T locking tuner set for enhanced tuning stability. An oil-impregnated bone nut helps strings return to pitch accurately after tremolo use. The guitar comes strung with D'Addario EXL110 (10-46 gauge) strings and, notably, includes a robust hardshell case for protection. This instrument is well-suited for professional musicians and serious enthusiasts who require a reliable, versatile workhorse capable of handling diverse musical styles, from rock and metal to jazz and blues, in both studio and live performance settings.
