Ibanez Standard AZ22S1F Electric Guitar – Black Sunburst
Armed with a panoply of high-performance features and eye-catching appointments, the Ibanez Standard AZ22S1F Electric Guitar – Black Sunburst represents an accessible entryway into Ibanez’s ever-versatile AZ range of instruments. This high-octane 6-string begins with a lively alder body that brandishes a flamboyant flame maple top, and it also features deep dual cutaways for effortless upper-register leads and solos. On the opposite end, the AZ22S1F wears a sleek and stable roasted maple neck and a 305mm-radius jatoba fingerboard, capped with hard-wearing stainless-steel frets. Under the hood, you get a fiery HSS trio of Ibanez Classic Custom pickups, a 5-way switch, and Ibanez’s dyna-MIX9 system with an alter switch — a comprehensive sonic setup that tackles everything from modern metal to classic rock to retro blues without batting an eye. You also get a premium hardware setup of locking Ibanez tuning machines and a dynamic Ibanez T106 tremolo. In every regard, the Ibanez AZ22S1F from us is poised to please modern guitarists of all styles and backgrounds with its potent blend of tonal flexibility and signature Ibanez performance.
Roasted maple neck offers stability and durability
The AZ22S1F boasts a roasted maple neck, which increases its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. And it’s supremely comfortable — its fingerboard edge was finished with a smooth curve that extends through the border between the fingerboard and the neck to the fingerboard itself. Beyond that, this guitar’s AZ oval C-shape neck fills your hand nicely at the lower frets while providing a more modern feel when playing up high.
Explore a vast sonic world with high-powered electronics
When constructing the AZ22S1F, Ibanez opted to arm this axe with two incredible single-coil pickups and a humbucker in the bridge. This configuration delivers the trademark crispness and chime of vintage single coils along with the gut-punching power of a humbucker, with a traditional 5-way blade for switching between each pickup. Not only can you channel the sound of one of rock music’s most beloved axes, but the AZ22S1F comes stock with Ibanez’s dyna-MIX9 switching system onboard. With this high-powered switching system, up to nine different sound variations are at your disposal with the flick of a mini switch, a fantastic option for budding guitarists looking to find their sound as well as seasoned performers seeking to expand their tonal palette.
Heavy-duty hardware
From multi-set gigs to extensive studio sessions, the Ibanez AZ22S1F’s top-class hardware complement has you covered with supreme stability. First up, the AZ22S1F’s T106 tremolo unit is equally at home covering deep dives and subtle vibrato. At the same time, a set of Ibanez locking tuning machines keep your strings pinned down tight to ensure superb tuning stability. Best of all, the Ibanez AZ22S1F’s jatoba fingerboard comes studded with stainless steel frets, a truly top-of-the-line upgrade that dramatically reduces fret wear from heavy use.
