From its contoured aesthetics to its excellent playability and deluxe appointments, the Ibanez AZ24P1QM is a sophisticated entry into the Ibanez AZ lineup. It all starts with a sonically balanced American basswood body, which is capped by a spotlight-stealing quilted maple top. The AZ24P1QM's roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard supply you with unprecedented comfort and stability. Its Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups preserve your clarity when you crank up the gain, while its dyna-MIX9 switching system provides nine different pickup combinations for an endless supply of tones. You can also bend, twist, and dive-bomb with spot-on intonation thanks to the AZ24P1QM's Gotoh T1502 tremolo. Players enjoy the AZ24P1QM for its versatility — it's a true Swiss Army knife guitar that excels in any genre or playing style. Once you pick up this guitar, you'll never want to set it down!

Roasted maple neck offers stability and durability

The AZ24P1QM 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"-shaped neck fills your hand nicely at the lower frets while providing a more modern feel when playing up high.

Gotoh T1502 tremolo provides excellent tuning stability

Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the AZ24P1QM's T1502 allows for effortless string skipping and hybrid picking thanks to narrow string spacing. Loading the guitar's tremolo arm is a breeze by virtue of the T1502's snap-and-hold socket, and its arm torque adjuster allows for fine adjustments without any tools. The T1502's stud lock screws lock the stud bolts in place, enhancing the instrument's resonance and providing excellent tuning stability. Beyond that, the T1502's 2-point floating tremolo system achieves an astoundingly smooth tremolo motion in either direction.

Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups yield an endless array of tones

The Ibanez AZ24P1QM's Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups are among the most balanced-sounding we've heard here at Music Experience. Laid out in an HSS configuration, these pickups yield a moderate output and sport Alnico V magnets, which preserve the clarity of your fundamental tone in high-gain situations. You'll also benefit from a dynamic and clear pick attack. Beyond that, Ibanez's dyna-MIX9 switching system provides nine different pickup combinations via a mini-toggle and 5-way blade switch. Whatever tone you're hearing in your head, the AZ24P1QM can achieve it.
