Description
Here’s what Ibanez says about the ATZ300
The Japanese-made ATZ is based on the Ibanez AZ and includes all of that model’s intrinsic benefits, as well as adding new features favored by long-time Ibanez artist Andy Timmons – many of which don’t feature on other productions AZ models! This includes a unique pickup configuration featuring two mini DiMarzio® humbuckers.
Key Features
- S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple Neck: The S-TECH special roasted treatment increases the wood’s stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance of temperature changes. The neck is sealed with an oil finish which helps make it feel similar to a well-played guitar neck.
- Rosewood Fretboard: Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid-range.
- Jumbo Frets with Prestige Fret Edge Treatment: The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response, good articulation when playing chords, and clear tone when playing single notes. Prestige Fret Edge Treatment guarantees effortlessly fast playing.
- Alder Body: The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance, and sustain.
- DiMarzio® The Cruiser® /AT-1™ Pickups: A DiMarzio® The Cruiser® in the neck position delivers single-coil tone, open vocal-sounding mids, and a bit of added strength to the bass. A DiMarzio® AT-1™ in the bridge position gives excellent warmth and clarity, which balances well with the neck pickup.
- Gotoh® Magnum Lock w/H.A.P. Machine Heads: GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® machine heads have an established reputation for tuning stability. Its H. A. P® (Height Adjustable Post) system allows for the adjustment of string posts for the appropriate tension of each string.
- Wilkinson®-Gotoh® VSVG Tremolo: The Wilkinson®-Gotoh® VSVG tremolo unit features smooth arm action and the unique design of its elongated baseplate screw holes helps promote accurate pitch return by eliminating binding. The VSVG’s locking bent-steel saddles provide a vintage tone and feel.
Special Features
- Oil-Impregnated Bone Nut: The Oil-impregnated bone nut provides superior tuning stability and warm rich resonance. Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance.
- Smooth Taper Volume Filter: A smooth taper volume filter maintains the guitar’s high frequencies at low volumes and provides more uniform tone from 1 to 10.
