I was considering a Suhr but after lots of research I decided that neck stability was the most important thing for me. Tone, feel and stability that’s what I want at a reasonable price = Ibanez prestige.

I own 2 AZ prestige guitars and can say the reason I love them so much is that they are vintage sounding guitars (medium to low output pickups) with a traditional or classic aesthetic but with modern playability. I love the flat radius fretboard and neck profile with stainless steel frets and locking tuners. Also the price point, I always wanted a Suhr guitar but couldn't justify spending nearly $5k here in Australia on one, the AZ comes in at $3k ish with more modern features. Love them!

That sounds great my man! We also love the flat radius fretboard, and the playabillity that comes with it. Of course a Suhr guitar will set you back quite some more, but then they are in a league of their own. But we couldn't agree more on the fact that we love the AZ's!!

Barely! They are not like the Fender Noiseless system of course, but you'd have to push them with quite some hard gain to make them too noisey.

I had a brief obsession with owning an AZ guitar but since the pandemic availability has been really poor. A while back I finally got the chance to play an AZ premium and it was a great guitar. But then I picked up a Charvel dk24 off the rack and it was game over. The Charvel with the roasted maple neck, 2pt trem, and medium output pickups is a direct competitor against the AZ and any other "cheaper Suhr" alternatives on the market. However to me the Charvel outshined the AZ when it came to the pickups and the incredible feeling compound radius neck which is the best neck I've ever played. And the best part? They're still easy to find on the market for anyone in the US. Now I just want to own more Charvels they're so incredibly good and underrated.

The downside is you don’t get stainless steel frets on the dk models, or at least on the ones I’ve played so far
@josephsantana3094 2 жыл бұрын
@@Philip_McIlvain I own a different guitar with stainless frets and honestly there's hardly any real world difference between those and good quality well finished nickel frets. Stainless frets are great but I don't think they should be a deal breaker on an otherwise incredible guitar.

Great tip. Before I grab an AZ for me, I certainly will try to check out the Charvel in a store, but at least what I could find about it only it sounds to much "fendery" to me, I like the warmer sound of the AZ to be honest. But hey, nothing beats a blind tests for such things to decide which one is for you. Charvels certainly are great, not sure if they are underrated because I did hear a lot good things about them before.
