Description
Ibanez Premium AZ226PB-CBB 2020 [SPOT MODEL]
The fusion of modernity and experience, a new standard born from time and era. Ibanez's new initiative, the "AZ" series, is literally capable of handling everything from "A to Z," with a lineup of models that enable a wide range of sound-making possibilities.
This time, we have received a rare spot (limited production) model from 2020-2021, the "AZ226PB-CBB"! Manufactured in 2020 (neck manufactured December 2019), with a weight of 3.16kg.
Features an original body shape basswood body, roasted maple neck & 22F fretboard. The neck shape is slightly thicker than conventional necks, with an easy-to-play oil finish. For those who struggle with thin necks, it has an appropriately thick feel that sits comfortably in the hand. The body top features exotic poplar burl for a gorgeous appearance.
GOTOH Magnum Lock tuners, synchronized tremolo, stainless steel frets, contoured body and spherical finish at the neck joint, and glow-in-the-dark side position markers—attention to detail pursuing modern playability and ease of use is evident throughout.
Equipped with AZ-exclusive pickups developed through collaboration with Seymour Duncan. Designed with output held back slightly to retain clean tone even when overdriven, focusing on picking responsiveness and reproducibility.
Features the dyna-MIX9 switching system with "Alter Switch." By switching to a mode that series-connects single coils, you can achieve a thicker sound. This enables a wide range of tone shaping.
It's remarkable that such quality is offered at an affordable price point. At 3.16kg, it's lightweight, reducing fatigue during transport and rehearsals, and looks fantastic on stage. Please take this opportunity to try this rare AZ series, which is out of production and only available used.
