Prestige Craftsmanship and Playability

The Ibanez Prestige line is built on three core principles: Precision, Performance, and Playability. Each instrument is crafted in Japan using advanced manufacturing techniques combined with meticulous attention to detail. This commitment ensures exceptional consistency, flawless fit and finish, and a professional playing experience straight out of the case.

Roasted Maple Neck and Fretboard

The Oval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck undergoes a special roasting process that increases stability, durability, and resistance to temperature and humidity changes. Finished with a smooth oil treatment, the neck feels instantly broken-in and comfortable, similar to a well-played vintage instrument. Rounded fretboard edges further enhance grip comfort for extended playing sessions.

The S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple fretboard delivers a fast response, superior attack, and a well-balanced tonal character with rich sustain across the entire frequency range.

Stainless Steel Frets and Effortless Speed

Equipped with jumbo stainless steel frets, the AZ2204AGTFB offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance. The wide and tall fret profile provides quick response, clear articulation for single-note lines, and excellent clarity when playing chords. Ibanez’s Prestige Fret Edge Treatment ensures ultra-smooth fret ends for effortlessly fast and comfortable playability.

Ash Body with Ergonomic Design

The Ash body produces a lively, articulate tone with pleasant brightness and strong sustain. Thoughtful ergonomic features include a deep waist, sculpted forearm contour, and an ergonomic rear body contour that allows the guitar to sit naturally against the player whether standing or seated.

The Super All Access Neck Joint further enhances playability by providing unrestricted access to the upper frets, making complex leads and high-register playing feel effortless.

Seymour Duncan Hyperion Pickups and Advanced Switching

Loaded with Seymour Duncan Hyperion S-S-H pickups, this guitar delivers moderate output with exceptional clarity thanks to Alnico 5 magnets. The tonal balance remains even across all frequencies, preserving the fundamental character of the guitar while working seamlessly with distortion, clean tones, and effect pedals.

The dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch unlocks nine distinct sound variations. Players can instantly switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, with one setting even simulating a humbucking tone using two single-coil pickups. This makes the AZ2204AGTFB one of the most flexible guitars in its class.

Premium Hardware and Professional Details

Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads with H.A.P. provide outstanding tuning stability and allow precise adjustment of string post height for optimal tension and feel. The Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge features machined titanium saddles and a steel tremolo block, delivering quick response, thick lows, and rich highs. Its 10.5mm string spacing allows easy string-to-string picking, while the snap-in tremolo arm ensures fast setup and secure performance.

An oil-impregnated bone nut enhances tuning stability and adds warm, rich resonance. Luminlay side dot markers ensure excellent fretboard visibility on dark stages, and a premium Ibanez hardshell case is included for maximum protection during transport and storage.

Finished in Tri Fade Burst Flat, the Ibanez AZ2204AGTFB AZ Prestige is a professional-grade instrument built for players who demand versatility, comfort, and uncompromising quality across every genre.
