PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

The Ibanez AZ, specifically the Prestige line, has become one of Ibanez's most popular new additions in recent years, and it's easy to see why. The dual-humbucker 2402 in particular was a launch model for the line and was an amazing take on making the modern 24-fret axe Ibanez has come to be known for more vintage-friendly to the old-school player.

New for 2023, this new 2407F is extremely unique because, while it takes the AZ formula of the thicker, more comfortable roasted maple neck and the non-locking 2-point Gotoh 510-based tremolo from previous models, it incorporates elements of the iconic RG series and an overall more traditionally "Ibanez" feature set. This includes a recessed tremolo route for crazier pitch acrobatics, a lightweight basswood body with flame maple top, a tried-and-true DiMarzio HSH pickup set and JEM/RG-style 5-way switching. To top things off, the gorgeous Brownish Sphalerite finish is borrowed from the venerable J.Custom RG series!

At the heart of the guitar is the tried-and-true Air Norton, True Velvet, and Tone Zone DiMarzio set of pickups that Ibanez tends to use on their RGs and S series models ranging from Premium to J. Custom, and for good reason - the combination of warmth and clarity in the Air Norton neck, the spankiness of the True Velvet, and the power and punch of the Tone Zone can cover any genre from jazz to death metal.

If you're a fan of the AZ and its more vintage-style specs, feel and ease of use, but wanted a guitar with the shred-friendly tonewoods and tonal options of the RG, or vice versa, the new AZ2407F is the premier choice. Best of all, it's still made with the prestigious build quality of Ibanez's prestigious FujiGen factory in Japan.

Details

Taking adaptability to new extremes, the AZ series has established itself and carved out a place that spans everything from the warmest blues licks, to the most intense, shred-heavy metal riffs. Carrying this ethos forward, the AZ line embodies time-tested Ibanez innovation and player-focused features like a smooth, oval neck grip, a well-balanced asymmetrical body shape, and the neck heel allowing for unrivaled playability.

There are three principles behind the Ibanez Prestige line: Precision, Performance, and Playability. Prestige combines high-tech manufacturing techniques with old-world Japanese craftsmanship, in order to achieve true innovation in design and construction. The series incorporates ideas and suggestions from musicians from around the world as the cornerstones of the Prestige production process.
