The Ibanez AZ42P1 is a premium guitar made for playing the warmest blues licks to the most intense, shred-heavy metal riffs. The American basswood body is loaded with a set of Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers. Made with Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups have a moderate output that keeps the clarity of the fundamental tone when using distortion. From treble to bass, the overall tonal balance is evenly adjusted and works well with various effect pedals. The dyna-MIX 10 wiring system offers ten sound variations when used in conjunction with the Alter switch. Power Tap mode provides a realistic single-coil sound for more sonic exploration.

Ibanez heat-treats the Oval C-profile roasted maple neck to increase the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes. Jumbo stainless steel frets line the rosewood fingerboard.

The Ibanez AZ42P1 uses Gotoh hardware. MG-T locking tuning machine heads make string changes fast and efficient; the T1502 tremolo bridge features steel saddles and a die-cast zinc tremolo block for a quick response and improved articulation with the snap-in arm. If you're in the market for a versatile electric guitar, the Ibanez AZ42P1 might check all of your boxes. It comes with gig bag designed specifically to fit and protect this instrument.
