Ibanez AZ2204 Prestige Electric Guitar – Ice Blue Metallic
Modern Precision with Classic Soul
The Ibanez AZ2204 Prestige represents the pinnacle of AZ design philosophy – balancing cutting-edge playability with timeless tonal character. Built in Japan with meticulous craftsmanship, it delivers the adaptability demanded by contemporary players, extending effortlessly from blues and fusion to progressive rock and technical metal. Finished in a sleek Ice Blue Metallic, this model blends refinement, comfort and professional-grade performance in every detail.
Prestige Craftsmanship and S-TECH Stability
The Oval C S-TECH Roasted Maple neck undergoes a specialised heat treatment that enhances stability, durability and resistance to environmental changes. Its smooth oil finish and rounded fretboard edges replicate the feel of a well-loved vintage neck, while maintaining the precision expected from a Prestige-level instrument. The Roasted Maple fretboard provides strong attack, balanced response and rich sustain.
Hyperion Pickups with dyna-MIX9 Versatility
Equipped with Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups in an S-S-H configuration, the AZ2204 delivers moderate output with exceptional clarity, even under gain. The dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch gives access to nine distinct tonal combinations – including parallel, series, and a convincing simulated humbucker mode – making this one of the most versatile S-style guitars available.
Premium Hardware Built for Reliability
A lightweight Alder body produces a bright, balanced tone with strong resonance, while the Gotoh T1802 tremolo with titanium saddles ensures smooth feel, quick response and stable tuning. Paired with Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads featuring height-adjustable posts, players gain precise tuning and enhanced string tension control.
Ergonomic Design for Effortless Play
With the Super All Access Neck Joint, deep body contours and Luminlay side dots, the AZ2204 is engineered for maximum comfort and stage-ready visibility. Every detail reflects its focus on performance – from stainless-steel frets with Prestige edge treatment to the included heavy-duty Ibanez hardshell case.
