Ibanez AZES40-PRB Essential AZ Series Electric Guitar with HSS Pickup & Tremolo Poplar Body Jatoba Fretboard AZES40 PRB Purist Blue The AZES40 Model If you want a rock-solid, affordable guitar with a tremolo — the Ibanez AZES40 is the perfect contender for you. It comes equipped with a flexible HSS (humbucker/single-coil/single-coil) pickup configuration and Ibanez's acclaimed Dyna-MIX9 switching system; providing nine sound variations that cover all of the musical bases! Key Features 👉Poplar Body — Underpins the instrument with a neutral, sustain-rich sound. 👉25" Scale Maple Neck — Shorter than a conventional 25.5" scale length, this player-friendly scale makes the instrument feel easier to play as the frets are brought slightly closer together and the strings have less tension. 👉250mm Fingerboard Radius — Great middle ground that allows you to play notes and chords precisely, while still maintaining a high degree of comfort. 👉'All Access' Neck Joint — Offers superior playability at the higher register, so you don't have to stretch to reach those final frets! 👉Ibanez Accord/Essentials Pickups — Provide well-balanced tones, so that you can explore various styles of music with just one instrument. Bridge humbucker is perfect for use with overdrive and distortion. 👉Dyna-MIX9 Switching System with Alter Switch — Offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single-coil/series modes with just a flick of the mini switch. 👉'Comfort Round' Steel Saddles — Provide a wider range of height adjustment, so you can set the string action to perfection. Additionally, the screws are less likely to stick out, leading to less stress on your strumming hand. 👉'Mono-Unit' Output Jack — Made of solid, durable material and is a single piece to avoid unwanted movement and loosening of the jack, which leads to contact failure or disconnection. This innovation allows for long-term playing enjoyment and minimal maintenance.
