An Endless Well of Tones
Simply put, Ibanez's AZ224BCG is a tone machine. Its Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups offer extreme clarity in high-gain settings, while its dyna-MIX 9 switching system provides nine versatile pickup combinations. Capped with gorgeous decorative bocote top, the AZ224BCG's American basswood body exhibits a warm growl with incredible midrange definition. Enjoy unrivaled stability, by way of a roasted maple neck and fingerboard. The AZ224BCG's asymmetrical body shape offers a balanced feel, while its contoured neck heel allows unmatched upper fret access. Beyond that, its Gotoh T1502 tremolo allows bending, twisting, and dive-bombing with perfect intonation. Part of Ibanez's mid-tier Premium series, the AZ224BCG features Gotoh locking tuners and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut.

Roasted maple neck offers stability and durability
The AZ224BCG's roasted maple neck offers increased stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. 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 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. Luminescent side dots give you a great point of reference on dark stages.
Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups yield an endless array of tones
The Ibanez AZ224BCG's Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups are among the most balanced sounding we've heard here at Sweetwater. Laid out in an HSS configuration, these pickups yield a moderate output and sport Alnico V magnets, which preserve the clarity of your fundamental tone in high-gain situations. You'll also benefit from a dynamic and clear pick attack. Beyond that, Ibanez's dyna-MIX 9 switching system provides nine different pickup combinations via a mini toggle and 5-way blade switch. Whatever tone you're hearing in your head, the AZ224BCG can achieve it.
Gotoh T1502 tremolo provides excellent tuning stability
Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the AZ224BCG's T1502 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 T1502's snap and hold socket, and its arm torque adjuster allows for fine adjustments without any tools. The T1502's stud lock screws lock the stud bolts in place, enhancing the instrument's resonance and providing excellent tuning stability. Beyond that, the T1502's 2-point floating tremolo system achieves an astoundingly smooth tremolo motion in either direction.
