Description
The Ibanez Premium AZ42P1 is an excellent choice for players seeking a sleek, elegant guitar that perfectly blends classic and contemporary designs. With its wonderfully balanced sound, impeccable playability, and Prussian Blue Metallic finish, the AZ42P1 is a top-notch performer that guarantees an exceptional playing experience.
Starting with an American basswood body, the AZ42P1 is light and comfy, making it excellent for extended gigs and all-night jam sessions. Thanks to its T1502 tremolo bridge, which features steel saddles and a die-cast zinc tremolo block for a quick response and improved articulation, the AZ42P1 has a rock-solid sound and feel. Whammy bar abusers will particularly love the T1502's snap-in construction, which makes it dead simple to load a tremolo arm for squeals, divebombs, and massive vibrato.
The roasted maple neck on the AZ42P1 is a testament to Ibanez's masterful craftsmanship. Subjected to Ibanez's S-tech wood nitrogen-heating treatment, which increases stability, durability, water resistance, and temperature change tolerance, the AZ42P1 was built to last a lifetime. Topped off with an oil seal that results in a well-played in-hand feel, the AZ42P1 plays better than some guitars twice its price.
Powering the AZ42P1 is a pair of Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers that deliver an even, balanced sound, making them perfect for guitarists who love playing with drive, distortion, and fuzz. Specially designed to maintain the clarity of the fundamental tone when using distortion effects, the Hyperion pickups deliver a clear pick attack no matter how much grit you layer in. And, if you need a little extra sonic versatility, the dyna-MIX 10 toggle switch offers ten sound variations and can easily switch from humbucker and single-coil modes, allowing players to blend seamlessly into virtually any performance setting.
Complete with Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, a silky-smooth rosewood fingerboard, and an included gig bag for safe transport, the Ibanez Premium AZ42P1 is perfect for musicians seeking a high-quality guitar with a near-infinite sonic palette.
