I got the charvel so cal style 2. I prefer it over the AZ. The so cal is a bit different from the dk24, but the fluence open core are just something else. Loving the tele style

The color on that neck is incredible. Especially against that color. I just wish Ibanez would make more guitars around a grand. It's either 600 or 2k with them.

Many of Joe Satriani's Ibanez JS models have a Basswood body. This I have known for some time I have followed Joe's career and his set up and equipment. Now he does have many many guitars as does Steve Vai but his choice of basswood had a lot to do with the weight of the guitar. I have an AZ Prestige and an AZ Premium both with Seymour Duncan Hyperion pick ups and I find no difference in the tone, sorry but that is a fact. With an electric guitar the tonewood question is minimal, approx. 5% to 10% maximum. With an electro-acoustic guitar the wood is responsible for 80% to 90% of the tone. I know many of you will disagree.

At least you admitted that tone wood does make a difference on electric guitars. I can't stand the overconfident dopes who insist that it makes no difference at all and that those of us who can hear a difference are just fooling ourselves. They're just tin eared clowns who can't hear the difference. I'm a Strat man and I love alder bodies. Totally different sound from ash: darker, rounder, fuller. And I've swapped different necks on the same Strat. A maple neck will always sound a bit brighter than a rosewood or ebony neck. It's such an obvious difference that I can't understand how anyone would deny it. Not all human ears are the same.

If the az’s had a thinner but rounded neck (think like Jackson or Charvel) and the compound 12-16 radius, it would be my favorite Ibanez ever. I love the sound of it but it feels like a Strat basically

ibanez uses basswood for high end guitars aswell due to it sounding very neutral in the eq and is light id chose basswood over ash or mahogany any day of the weak

Im late to the party but just found your channel 😎🤘 Great content ! I have a problem and I hope you can give some input. I have been playing for about three years and started on a Gretsch and now have a PRS Starla SE (they both have chunky necks. (50’s style ) Mostly play rock but I am now looking for a metal guitar. But all that I have been recommended have paper thin necks. Really don’t like that. Would this be a good option ? Do you have any other recommendations? (I’m Swedish but lived in Australia 🇦🇺 for a while a few years back, Gold Coast. Was to hot for me so I moved back 😉)

@@OliRoyer Thanks for your input ! Highly appreciated ! Unfortunately the guitar store were I live don’t stock Jackson guitars but they do have Ibanez. Not the Az model but they can order it in for me to try. But in your opinion the Hyperion pickups work for metal ? The pickups in the guitars I have are more that classic rock sound but for high gain they don’t really sound that great. 😎🤘

how well do you think the hyperion works for more modern metal? like djent? ive tried it at the guitar shop but they only provided a shitty amp so im unable to fully understand the tone quality of the pickups. Are they able to deliver tight, crunchy, and crisp riffs under distortion? or does it muddy out like a vintage humbucker?

I'm VERY interested in the AZ line. Oddly enough a huge untalked about issue I see is the neck pocket. I've already seen numerous examples of huge neck pocket cracks. There really isn't enough meat on the body on either side of the neck pocket. They sacrificed durability in the name of fret access, which is odd considering how durable the actual neck is. I think they'd have been better served with a joint more similar to the Charvel. Tried and true. Maybe contour it like the Fender elite series.

I was wondering whether Ibanez sent you this guitar for a review because when I checked the premium AZ models online and in person, the roasted maple neck was nowhere as dark as the one in your video. Wish we had access to this colour here in NZ, our stores are still selling the god awful tequila sunrise over here.
