Here's what Ibanez says about the AZ2204B-BK Prestige:
At Ibanez, we have always made it a point to study and understand how
guitar playing evolves and progresses with music trends over time.
Currently, we are seeing an explosion of young contemporary guitarists
pushing their playing techniques into exciting new directions. We are
viewing this trend as the beginning of a third phase of guitar playing.
All of us at Ibanez challenge ourselves as guitar designers to step
up and answer the needs of this third phase. We found that, in order to
fully grasp the expanding range of musical expression created, we must
consider the guitar not just as an isolated device, but as an extension
of the guitarist’s body. If we were to give this phenomenon a name, it
would be “Synchronizing Guitars and Players.”
In launching the AZ series, our aim was not to merely create a
completely new guitar model, but to sculpt a great guitar that can
foster the potential of the modern ‘third phase’ while maintaining
traditional elements. Even though Ibanez is thought of as a modern
guitar brand, we have decades of accumulated knowledge and a history of
pushing boundaries. The AZ series carries with it all of the hallmarks
of these tried and tested Ibanez qualities: the smooth oval neck grip,
the well balanced asymmetrical body shape, and a neck heel that allows
unrivaled playability. It also features details such as a new tremolo
bridge, as well as new pickups developed in collaboration with Seymour
Duncan. All of these elements help the AZ push the existing boundaries
of playability and sound even further.
We always strive to make our guitars with the finest materials and
parts, yet we know that collecting new parts and materials alone do not
make a great guitar. Rather, exquisite guitars are made through the
processes of examining, testing, understanding, then finally
synchronizing these materials together. The harmonic balance between the
bridge and pickups, nut and machine heads, neck and fret material, all
work together in order to help guitarists create their desired sound.
From A to Z, there is no aspect of guitar making that we ever overlook.
This tradition has been passed down masterfully to the AZ series.
At first glance, the AZ series may seem like an enigma to some. The
magic of this new series is not something that may be apparent by just
visual observation. The magic, however, does become instantly apparent
once an AZ model is played. The AZ series represents the future of
guitar playing and we welcome you to play one and see for yourself.
