General

Considerately designed for the student guitarist, the sleek playing comfort and flexible tone of the Ibanez AZ-Essentials AZES40 electric guitar is also fully primed for more advanced guitarists. The shorter than standard 25 inch scale length pulls the frets a little closer together to ease reach and reduce string tension for a much lighter feel beneath the fret-hand, making gripping notes and chords much easier. Meanwhile, the mounted F106 tremolo bridge has been finished with a set of newly-designed rounded saddles to offer extra playing comfort and can be fully adjusted for a more personalised setup. This is topped off by the 'all-access neck joint' which places each of the 22 medium-frets within easy reach, and a set of smooth-tuning Ibanez split-shaft machine heads.

The Ibanez AZ Essentials AZES40: Far-Reaching Sound

The foundation of the Ibanez AZES40 is laid down by an ergonomically shaped body carved from lightweight poplar and loaded with a meaty HSS pickup configuration, where two single-coils take up the neck and middle positions, and a thick humbucker sits at the bridge. This is supported by Ibanez's own advanced dyna-MIX9 switching system complete with Alter Switch, granting you unlimited access to no less than nine different guitar sounds that can be tweaked to back up a vast range of different genres and playing styles. Engage the single-coils to shape sparkling cleans and sultry blues or indie-style tone, or activate the Accord humbucker to unleash solid, rock-worthy sound.

Wrote the following about Ibanez AZ Essentials AZES40-PRB Purist Blue Electric Guitar

Een ontzettend veelzijdige gitaar waarmee je bijna in alle stijlen uit de voeten kunt. Hij is (nog) veel beter dan zijn prijskaartje doet vermoeden. Er zitten eerste klas onderdelen op en met name de hals is een genot om op te spelen. Met de knop tussen de volume en toonregelaar en de vijfstanden schakelaar heb je negen schakelingen van de elementen om je geluid mee te kleuren. Hij kan heel clean en staat-achtig helder klinken, maar ook heel ruig en vet. Goed afgewerkt en met een prettige standaard setup uit de fabriek. Een hele fijne gitaar.
