Description
The Ibanez AZ24S2-BK AZ Standard is a sleek, modern workhorse built to cover everything from glassy cleans and bluesy crunch to high-gain riffing and fluid shred. With a fast Roasted Maple neck, versatile dual humbucker layout and the powerful dyna-MIX10 switching system, this blacked-out AZ is designed to keep up with whatever your setlist throws at it. Every detail has been engineered with the player in mind. The comfortable AZ neck profile, Super All Access Neck Joint and jumbo stainless steel frets make intricate chords, wide bends and rapid-fire runs feel effortless. Add in the stable T106 tremolo, locking tuners and a resonant alder body, and you have a reliable, gig-ready instrument that feels familiar yet inspires new ideas every time you plug in. Effortless Playability The AZ24S2-BK features Ibanez’s AZ neck profile, paired with a Roasted Maple construction and a smooth Jatoba fretboard. The result is a neck that feels fast and comfortable in any position, with a satin-like feel that encourages long sessions without fatigue. The Super All Access Neck Joint removes the usual blockiness at the heel, so you can glide up to the 24th fret for high-register solos without having to fight the guitar. Versatile Modern Tones Loaded with Ibanez Modern Custom humbuckers, this AZ delivers a powerful, articulate voice that excels with overdrive and distortion, yet cleans up beautifully when you roll back the volume. The alnico V magnets provide punchy lows, focused mids and a crisp top end that cuts through a mix. Whether you are playing tight rhythm parts or singing lead lines, the pickups stay clear and responsive under the fingers. dyna-MIX10 Switching The dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch unlocks ten distinct pickup combinations from the two humbuckers. With a flick of the mini switch you can move between full humbucker and convincing single coil-style sounds, including the Power Tap mode for realistic, noise-reduced single coil tones. This gives you everything from thick, saturated rock tones to bright, funky cleans without changing guitar or touching your pedalboard. Stable Hardware for Real-World Use On the hardware side, the AZ24S2-BK is built to stay in tune and feel precise. The T106 tremolo bridge with six independent saddles allows accurate intonation and action tweaks for each string, while locking machine heads keep tuning rock solid through bends and tremolo use. Combined with the inherent balance and sustain of the alder body, you get a guitar that feels dependable on stage and in the studio. Key Features Roasted Maple Neck – The heat-treated Roasted Maple neck offers enhanced stability and resistance to moisture and temperature changes, so your setup stays consistent from rehearsal room to stage.
