Discriminating players searching for an ultra-versatile HSH solidbody electric guitar will be blown away by the Ibanez Prestige AZ2407F. This axe's DiMarzio Tone Zone, True Velvet, and Air Norton pickups push your amp to get crunchy rhythms and hot leads. It looks great as well, boasting a growling, mid-forward basswood body accented by an eye-grabbing flamed maple top. Enjoy unprecedented comfort and stability, thanks to an ergonomic rear body contour, S-Tech roasted maple neck, and a slick-playing compound-radius maple fingerboard. Bend, twist, and dive-bomb with perfect intonation thanks to the AZ2407F's Gotoh T1502S tremolo. Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, an oil-impregnated bone nut, and Luminlay side dots round out the AZ2407F's high-performance appointments.
The AZ2407F's roasted maple neck was subjected to Ibanez's S-Tech nitrogen-heating treatment, which increases its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. The neck is then sealed with oil, resulting in a well-played feel. 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 oil-finished AZ oval "C"-shaped neck fills your hand nicely at the lower frets, while providing a more modern feel when you're playing up high. You also get an oil-impregnated bone nut for maximum resonance and superior tuning stability.
The guitarists here at Music Experience agree: there's no denying the massive range of tone that you can get out of the Ibanez AZ2407F's trio of DiMarzio pickups. First, there's the DiMarzio Tone Zone at the bridge — a hot humbucker with a super-wide dynamic range. It's a perfect complement to the AZ2407F's DiMarzio Air Norton at the neck, which is deep, warm, and remarkably clean. Finally, a DiMarzio True Velvet in the middle position offers up clean, punchy high and midrange tones. You'll love this ultra-flexible pickup trio.
Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the AZ2407F's T1502S boasts steel saddles and a steel tremolo block for snappy response and incredible articulation. The T1502S 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 T1502S's snap-and-hold socket, and its arm torque adjuster allows for fine adjustments without any tools. The T1502S's stud lock screws lock the stud bolts in place, enhancing the instrument's resonance and providing excellent tuning stability. Beyond that, the T1502S's 2-point floating tremolo system achieves an astoundingly smooth tremolo motion in either direction.
Even though Ibanez is thought of as a modern guitar brand, we have decades of accumulated knowledge and a history of pushing the 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 the neck heel allowing unrivaled playability.
S-TECH special roasted treatment provides a superior attack and a well-balanced tone and a rich sustain. In order to achieve supreme neck grip comfort, the fretboard edge is finished with a smooth curve.

The Super All Access Neck Joint offers superior playability with its 8mm concave curve from the body top to the spherical surface of the joint area. By maximizing the joint area between the body and the neck, sustain and resonance are increased as well.
The Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
The AZ comes with GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® machine heads, which 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.
The Oil-impregnated bone nut provides superior tuning stability and warm rich resonance. Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response, good articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes.
A shallow body back contour and a big forearm contour make the guitar body fit the player naturally, thus increasing playing comfort. The AZ body has a deep waist and different radii on each body edge curve, making it easier to play in both standing or sitting positions.
The DiMarzio® Air Norton™, True Velvet™ and Tone Zone® pickups offer depth, warmth and rich dynamics when combined with the 5-way pickup switch.
The Flamed Maple top(4mm) flaunts a beautiful wood grain and the Basswood body delivers a natural and flat tone.
The T1502S tremolo bridge features steel saddles and a steel tremolo block for a quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings and its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm.
