The Ibanez AZ427P2QM Premium 7-string electric guitar delivers the goods whether you're playing the warmest blues licks or the most intense, shred-heavy metal riffs. This versatile 7-string guitar embodies Ibanez's renowned commitment to innovation and playability with its smooth roasted maple neck, well-balanced asymmetrical body and a clever neck joint for unhindered access to higher frets. Manufactured with select tonewoods and high-end components, the AZ427P2QM Premium series is built to open the floodgates of your creativity.

Roasted Maple Neck Offers Stability and Smooth Playability

The AZ427P2QM Premium features an oval C roasted maple neck that provides incredible stability and silky playability. The roasting process increases the wood's tolerance of temperature and humidity changes while also enhancing its resonance. A smooth satin finish allows your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the neck. The AZ feels fast and comfortable, inspiring you to play for hours on end.

Seymour Duncan Hyperion Pickups Provide Balanced Tone

With their moderate output and crystal clear articulation, the Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbucking pickups help the AZ427P2QM Premium shine in any musical scenario. Their Alnico 5 magnets keep your fundamental tone intact even when using heavy distortion and they have an even treble-to-bass response that complements various effects pedals beautifully. From searing leads to chunky rhythms, the Hyperions deliver exceptional clarity, balance and versatility.

Advanced Switching System Enables Various Tones

The AZ427P2QM Premium's dyna-MIX switching system, complete with its Alter Switch, puts an arsenal of tones at your fingertips. Access humbucking and single coil modes, combine pickups in parallel or series and engage coil-tapping for realistic single coil tones—all with the flip of a switch. With 10 distinct tonal options, you can go from snarling rock to sparkling funk at the turn of a knob.

Super Accessible Neck Joint Makes Playing a Breeze

The AZ Premium's Super All Access Neck Joint maximizes playability by allowing effortless access to the upper frets. Shredding beyond the 22nd fret is a cinch thanks to this cleverly engineered joint. The guitar's lightweight, ergonomic body shape is specifically contoured to fit your body comfortably. Whether you're onstage entertaining an audience or alone in the studio, the AZ427P2QM Premium feels fantastic to play for extended periods.
