Armed with a panoply of high-performance features and eye-catching appointments, the Standard AZ24S1F represents an accessible entryway into Ibanez’s ever-versatile AZ range of instruments. This high-octane 6-string begins with a lively alder body that brandishes a flamboyant flame maple top, and it also features deep dual cutaways for effortless upper-register leads and solos. On the opposite end, the AZ24S1F wears a sleek and stable roasted maple neck and a 305mm-radius jatoba fingerboard, capped with hard-wearing stainless-steel frets. Under the hood, you get two HSS Ibanez Modern Custom pickups, a 5-way switch, and Ibanez’s dyna-MIX10 system with an alter switch. This comprehensive sonic setup tackles everything from modern metal to classic rock to retro blues without batting an eye. You also get a premium hardware setup of locking Ibanez tuning machines and a dynamic Ibanez T106 tremolo. In every regard, the Ibanez AZ24S1F from Music Experience is poised to please modern guitarists of all styles and backgrounds with its potent blend of tonal flexibility and signature Ibanez performance.
The AZ24S1F boasts a roasted maple neck, which increases its 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-shape neck fills your hand nicely at the lower frets while providing a more modern feel when playing up high.
When constructing the AZ24S1F, Ibanez opted to arm this axe with two hard-hitting Modern Custom pickups. This dual-humbucker configuration delivers rock-ready heft and authority, with a traditional 5-way blade for switching between each pickup. Not only can you channel the sound of one of rock music's most beloved axes, but the AZ24S1F comes stock with Ibanez's dyna-MIX10 switching system onboard. With this high-powered switching system, up to nine different sound variations are at your disposal with the flick of a mini switch, a fantastic option for budding guitarists looking to find their sound as well as seasoned performers seeking to expand their tonal palette.
From multi-set gigs to extensive studio sessions, the Ibanez AZ24S1F’s top-class hardware complement has you covered with supreme stability. First up, the AZ24S1F’s T106 tremolo unit is equally at home covering deep dives and subtle vibrato. At the same time, a set of Ibanez locking tuning machines keep your strings pinned down tight to ensure superb tuning stability. Best of all, the Ibanez AZ24S1F’s jatoba fingerboard comes studded with stainless steel frets, a truly top-of-the-line upgrade that dramatically reduces fret wear from heavy use.
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.
