Its Seymour Duncan Fortuna single-coil pickups tackle clean chords and bluesy licks with equal aplomb, while its blender knob adds the perfect amount of the designated pickup at each position. It looks great as well, boasting a balanced-sounding alder body accented by gleaming chrome hardware. Enjoy unprecedented comfort and stability, thanks to an ergonomic rear body contour, S-Tech roasted maple neck, and a slick-playing compound-radius rosewood fingerboard. Bend, twist, and dive-bomb with perfect intonation thanks to the AZ2203N's Gotoh T1502S tremolo.

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 oil-finished 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.
