Yea. That guitar is insanely good! I love it

Listening with ur eyes

​​@@chaptermastertree8214 not really. The sounds were noticeably different and the expencive guitar had a fuller sound. It's not surprising since the first one had Seymour Duncans and the second one has stock Ibanez pickups. On distorted metal tones probably the two guitars would sound very similar, but with these clean tones the profile of each pickup can be heard very clearly. (also to fix this sound difference putting the seymour duncan on the 300$ guitar would be enough to make them sound almost identical )

No, its just louder. Lower the pickup on the premium and theyll sound the same

​@@chaptermastertree8214 thats exactly whats happening

true

😂

Yeah there’s a switch there for a reason: it changes the tone lol

I doubt the diff will be huge. The comparison would be more on build quality and playability.

Small adjustments and basically you'll get the same tone from the amp. Unless you're a gigging musician. That's with stock pickups.

No shit he's comparison 2 price points, comparing the 2 pickups

What, not enough upstrokes for you? Give me a fucking break.

??? No it isn’t??

⁠@@jimmyfranklin painfully clear that different pickups are selected.

@@fuzzwall9932 dude you gotta sell misinformation to get views!! Cant be honest and do a proper demo which would have no audible difference you have to fake results to get those dollars.

And I thought it was an eq thing lol

​@@jimmyfranklinit definitely is lol

Yes they are

They definetly are

​@@jimmyfranklin why are you trying to convince everyone that you used same pickup position ? 😂 It's clearly visible man....

@@kuffor1989 money, nobody would watch a demo that is telling the truth. People like to justify there stupid purchases.

@@sirspongadoodle You're looking way too deep into it. He obviously hit the switch during strumming, everybody with an S style guitar does it regularly unless their strumming is really minimal. If you're legitimately think that more expensive guitars aren't better quality than cheaper guitars, then why would anybody waste time on trying to convince your factory deficient ass that you're wrong?

Well put the same pickups and you won't hear a difference 😂

S series is goated

bridge, tuners, pickups, and have some do a pro wiring job, and do a whole set up including leveling frets ect. youre gonna be in pretty deep once you start all of that, might as well spend that on the premium...

I feel bad for people who legitimately think the FUCKING METAL THAT THE BRIDGE IS MADE OUT OF makes any impact on the tone. Show me proof, CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE that this is the case and then maybe I'll stop thinking that you and tonewood freaks are morons who just want an excuse to bankrupt themselves for another fucking Fender Ultra-Luxe.

You don’t hear the buzz 😮

@@moussaelsouri4474 Buzz isn't really a bad thing unless it actually makes your notes struggle to ring through.

i love the ibanez premium.. i cant get over it

@@jimmyfranklin get a prestige AZ, you’ll never go back

the AZES isnt rosewood... its pau ferro. and everything else is basically different! lol

Isn’t it Jatoba fret board according the Ibanez

None of that matters, tonewood gets lost in an electric guitar because the tone that gets changed from the wood doesn’t feed back into the pickup therefore not altering the sound… pickups also do not make a difference as long as you use the same type meaning humbucker and single coil… argue with me all you want but you are wasting your own money if you do.

It's probably Laurel since AZES are manufactured in Indonesia. You're obviously not gonna get real rosewood from a $299 guitar, just like you wouldn't get a real floyd rose or real Grover tuners.

seeing as they have different pickups, ect that is not true...

@@jerryhill8281 different pickups make a smaller difference than you would think. Unless you are comparing Humbuckers to single coil there is barely a describable difference. Tone is in the speaker from my own testing and experience

@@Geetarman69420 true a quality amp will make any guitar sound good

@@Geetarman69420 holy shit someone who doesn’t repeat 40 year old myths.. glad to hear 1 smart person who listens instead of looks.

@@bread6085 the only way a guitar will sound bad is if the pickup is microphonic. Otherwise it’s the speaker.

Quality control in Japan is way better vs Indonesia. S tech neck which is great when playing outdoor gigs or humidity changes. better materials, and alder body vs most premiums are basswood

@Jerry Hill indeed, Premium line is not far behind though. Basswood is not bad, just different. That's Guthrie Govan Charvel signature guitar body wood choice btw

They wouldn’t sound different if he used the same switch selection.. pickups dont sound different.

@@sirspongadoodle he is comparing different guitars but not with same pickup positions lol... It's bullcrap

It's absolutely how they sound. The entire point of an electric guitar is to have pickups that pick up the vibrations of the metal strings and send a signal through your cable to your amp which then amplifies it. Does it really have to be said that pickups that are made differently aren't going to sound the same? For instance some Seymour Duncan Designed humbuckers vs. "real" Seymour Duncan humbuckers. There's a very clear difference in the low end, and the Duncan Designed are muddier which means it's harder to get a clear and bright tone out of them. From a sonic standpoint, the Duncan Designed sound worse because they aren't made with the same materials and with the same care as real Seymour Duncans.

Hello there, it’s is Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers

@@samuelmendes8171 thanks bro

Why does there always have to be the one old asshole who has to go "But it ain't no Fender like muh daddy used'a play"?

Under the bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers

You beat me to it!

Under the bridge!

under the bridge by red hot chili peppers

True but more money is made convincing people guitars make a sonic difference than actually fucking playing guitars.

if they hands are good in general the better pickups, ect will still sound different...its a 50/50 hands and gear....

@@jerryhill8281 pickups make no difference. It’s 2023 and people are still buying a myth that was proven years ago.

I think your ears aren't developed as a musician yet and you need to take a step back into your lane as a novice.
