Balanced Tone with Striking Aesthetics
The combination of a flamed maple top and alder body delivers a bright, balanced tone with excellent sustain and resonance. The visually striking grain of the flamed maple adds a premium look, while the alder body ensures clarity and definition across all frequencies.
Smooth and Stable Neck Performance
The roasted maple neck has been specially treated to improve stability and resistance to temperature and humidity changes, ensuring consistent performance in any environment. Paired with a jatoba fretboard, the guitar offers a responsive feel with a focused midrange and clear top end.
Jumbo stainless steel frets provide excellent durability, fast response and precise articulation, making both chord work and lead playing feel effortless.
Versatile Pickup Configuration
Equipped with Ibanez Classic Custom pickups in an HSS layout, the AZ22S1F delivers a wide tonal palette. The alnico single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions provide warm, clear tones, while the ceramic bridge humbucker offers powerful output and punch.
The dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch unlocks nine distinct sound variations, allowing you to move seamlessly between humbucker and single coil tones. One mode even simulates a humbucker tone using two single coils, adding further flexibility.
Precision Hardware
Locking machine heads ensure stable tuning and quick string changes, while the T106 tremolo bridge provides accurate intonation and smooth performance. Each saddle can be adjusted independently, allowing for precise setup and optimal playability.
Designed for Modern Players
The Super All Access Neck Joint allows effortless access to higher frets, making it ideal for advanced lead playing. Combined with its ergonomic design and premium components, the AZ22S1F is built for comfort, control and performance in any setting.
