Ibanez AZ2203N AZ Prestige Electric Guitar, Black Finish
The Ibanez AZ2203N Prestige is a masterclass in modern electric guitar design, combining traditional single‑coil character with the elite craftsmanship of Ibanez’s Prestige Series. Finished in a sleek Black gloss, this model delivers understated elegance alongside exceptional tonal balance and playability.
Refined Simplicity. Studio‑Grade Clarity. Japanese‑Built Precision.
Built in Japan by the renowned FujiGen factory, the AZ2203N is engineered for musicians who demand consistency, nuance, and tactile connection to their instrument. From expressive clean passages to articulate edge‑of‑breakup tones, this guitar excels in studio, rehearsal, and live performance environments.
Balanced Alder Body
The alder body provides a harmonically even response with clear highs, focused mids, and tight lows – making it an ideal tonal foundation for single‑coil pickups and pedal‑driven rigs.
S‑Tech Roasted Maple Neck
Ibanez’s S‑Tech Wood roasting process enhances structural stability, moisture resistance, and long‑term reliability. The neck feels naturally broken‑in, allowing for confident playing across varying climates and conditions.
AZ Oval "C" Neck Profile
Designed for modern players, the AZ Oval C profile sits comfortably in the hand, offering support for chords while remaining slim enough for fast lead work.
Compound‑Radius Rosewood Fingerboard
With a 228mm to 305mm compound radius, the fretboard transitions smoothly from comfortable rhythm playing near the nut to effortless bends and vibrato higher up the neck.
22 Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets
Stainless steel frets provide enhanced durability, smooth bends, and excellent articulation, finished with Prestige fret edge treatment for a silky, snag‑free feel.
