Description
Working in collaboration with prolific guitar instructor Tomo Fujita, Ibanez built the AZES31 AZ Standard, a value-packed axe that's great for beginners and pro players alike. This guitar plays exceptionally well and features all the bells and whistles of a model twice its price, making it a tried and true workhorse.
When designing the AZES31 AZ Standard, Ibanez paid particular attention to their choice of tonewoods. Pairing a poplar body with a maple neck and a silky-smooth jatoba fingerboard, this guitar has a wonderfully balanced tone with a pleasant high-end 'snap' that breathes life and articulation into your playing. It doesn't just sound great, though - with its "C" shaped maple neck, 22-fret fingerboard, and deep double-cutaways, this guitar has a comfortable feel that'll make learning riffs easy and natural.
Ibanez wanted the AZES31 AZ Standard to be a guitar that players could grow with, so they equipped it with 3 single-coil pickups that cover a wide range of sounds. These pickups pump out a bright, full-bodied chime that sounds great for any style of music. It also sports a 5-way blade pickup switch so players can mix and match their favorite pickup combinations. One of the most remarkable things about the AZES31 AZ Standard is its dyna-MIX 8 toggle switch. With a flick of this switch, players unlock an entirely new set of tones to experiment with. If versatility is what you're after, this axe has it by the truckload.
With its player-centric design and incredibly versatile electronics, the Ibanez AZES31 AZ Standard is one of the most value-packed guitars on the market.
