Inspired by the AZ family, the Ibanez AZES40 emphasizes ergonomics and playability, designed to cover a wide range of styles without unnecessary complexity. With its balanced poplar body and electronics crafted to multiply textures, it stands as a reliable entry point into the "AZ" universe, built to progress and record with a true palette.
This electric guitar is especially aimed at motivated beginners and intermediate guitarists seeking a versatile instrument for pop, rock, funk, indie, and blues. Its 25" / 635 mm scale length offers a very comfortable compromise (soft tension, accessible bends), while the 250 mm / 9.84" radius facilitates both clean chords and more pronounced lead lines.
The two Ibanez Essentials single-coil pickups (neck and middle, ceramic magnets) prioritize clarity and attack: precise cleans, beautiful definition on arpeggios, and a "snappy" character ideal for funk chicken picking or pop rhythms. At the bridge, the Ibanez Accord humbucker adds body and sustain for crunches, riffs, and denser overdrives, while maintaining good clarity.
The dyna-MIX9 system with Alter Switch greatly expands the possibilities: beyond a simple 5-position selector, it allows quick switching between single-coil-type tones, thicker combinations, and series/parallel modes, convenient for adapting the guitar to a clean amp, a snappy crunch, or a gain pedal without changing instruments.
To maintain the original feel, stick with a 10-46 gauge (like the factory-installed strings). For transport, the recommended compatible references are the Ibanez M300C (case) and Ibanez IGB540-BK (gig bag). For connections, a 6.35 mm mono jack cable (straight or angled) and a standard strap work perfectly with the classic strap buttons of this model.
