Ibanez AZ24027-TFF

AZ24027-TFF (Tri Fade Burst Flat) AZ Prestige 7-string. Made in Japan. AZ - Players Player Project - AZ is the result of several years of testing, with many of the world's best guitarists as test pilots, with the goal of developing the ultimate players player guitar. That is, an extremely well-sounding, easy-to-play and stable instrument that you should be able to play virtually all styles of music with. Roasted / baked maple necks to make it stable no matter how you tour around the planet and wherever you play. Stainless steel straps to make them almost indestructible and feel smooth and polished no matter how much you play. A perfectly functioning stable with an arm mount that does not slip no matter how much you pull and pull it. And all this with "TON" written on the forehead, No specs in the world mean anything if it doesn't sound amazing, and it does here, it sounds better than amazing. The series is available in two versions with 24 or 22 band necks. The 24 band versions with HH pickup configuration and 22 with HSS. The AZ neck is a modern neck with what Ibanez calls oval C profile. A 1 bit Prestige neck in S-TECH treated maple. S-TECH is "nitrogen-heating-treatment" of wood and is a further development of what is usually called roasted / baked wood. In short, this means that the wood undergoes a heat treatment in a nitrogen-filled heating process to remove water and resin from the wood. This makes the wood light, stable, durable and completely unaffected by changes in humidity. The wood also becomes waterproof and therefore does not need to be varnished. These properties make the neck extremely resonant, low in physical weight and with lots of singing sustain (the same properties that really good, old, wood can sometimes have). A clear sound with unparalleled note separation. The guitar sings in a completely different way than the equivalent untreated wood and is several hundred times more stable. The neck is finally treated with oil, which gives the guitar a well-recorded wood feeling, forget about rocky varnish to get stuck in. Neck profile. Ibanez calls the neck AZ oval C, which describes it quite accurately. C with a little more shoulders would also fit well. It is noticeably thicker than how Ibanez usually have their necks, but for that matter not fat or clumsy. 20.5mm at the first fret and 22.5 at fret 12. It feels modern and accessible while feeling traditional and familiar. The fretboard radius is a perfect compromise to be perfect for both chords and soloing. The transition between fretboard and neck is softly rounded called "rolled fretboard edges" which gives a very smooth and recorded feeling. The body is designed to be comfortable and without sharp edges so that you can both stand or sit and play for hours on end. The rounding of the edges is softer on the back than on the front. Combined with the SAAN neck joint (Super All Access), it's a guitar that's a dream to play. Seymour Duncan® Hyperion(TM) Pickups Hyperion is a pickup developed in collaboration with Marciela "MJ" Juarez at Seymour Duncan. A girl who has been Employee no.2 as Seymour's right hand since 1976. She has made mics for Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck, David Gimour, Slash, Joe Bonamassa, just to name a few. A mic with moderate output and Alnico5 magnets. A clear, dynamic mic with good separation and a clear pick attack. Very good balance between the strings so low notes are clear and high ones warm and full. The mics are connected on a dyna-MIX 10 switch with an additional wAlter switch. It provides a lot of useful, believable, sounds from everything to humbucker to single coil. The Ibanez T1872S Tremolo Stable is a further development of the GOTOH 510, one of the world's most popular non-locking stables. Ibanez thought "is this the best there is or can it be improved?", and it did. The T1872S is based on the 510 and built by GOTOH, so modern 2 pivot style with lockable studs. The updates are solid titanium saddles, a solid steel block and a better and completely gapless, arm mount (snap in with adjustable pressure. The arm can be exchanged for the Ibanez Ultra Lite swing arm). T1872S has the same string spacing as 510 narrow, 10.5mm instead of 10.8mm. GOTOH H.A.P®-M machine heads The tuners are GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® which are top of the line locking tuners with height adjustable string posts (so you can get perfect string pressure across the saddle for optimal sustain and tone) Specs: - AZ7 Oval CS-TECH wood roasted Maple 1 pc neck. - 24 frets. - S-TECH wood roasted Maple fretboard w/black dot inlay. - Luminescent side dot inlay. - Jumbo Stainless steel frets w/Prestige Fret Edge Treatement. - Graph Tech® BLACK TUSQ XL® nut. - Alder body - Ibanez T1872S tremolo bridge (Gotoh) - Seymour Duncan® Hyperion(TM) (H) neck pickup. - Seymour Duncan® Hyperion(TM) (H) bridge pickup. - dyna-MIX10 switching system w/Alter Switch - Chrome hardware. - Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads. - Hardcase included.
