The wonderful people at @IbanezOfficial have sent me this lovely AZ to play. I've been eyeing up one of these for a few years now and it does not disappoint. I will do a more in depth demo in the future but for now this is a 'first impressions' video and the first couple of notes I've ever played on this guitar.

Only thing stopping you is apathy. Most guitarists get stuck only learning the pentatonic minor because its just enough to get by and not learn any more. Learn theory and you can sound like him!

This video inspired me to get back into guitar and grind it out so I can maybe be 5% as good as Jack! I literally just bought the exact same Ibanez AZ2204B and a few of Jack's courses and presets. Thanks for the inspiration!

I have the prestige Az too in Scarlett red. Absolutely love it! Love the dyna-mix 9 switching system; especially the function of being able to switch the single coil in the neck to a humbucker with a flick of a switch.

Congrats on the new guitar Jack! I've been able to buy one of the first AZ2204-ICM models and am still blown away by the quality, workmanship and overall "feelinggoodness" of the instrument. The japanese made AZ guitars are the best production model guitars of about any brand available right now, IMHO. Also, your playing gives me the chills everytime, even if you call it nonsense - the flawless delivery makes it something special anyways. Thanks for that, dude! :-)

Fantastic playing. Love this video. I got one of these last week and was stunned as to how compact it is. Slightly smaller than a regular Fender Strat and in keeping with the Ibanez 'small body 'tradition, but far less pointy LOL. The neck takes some getting used to and I mistook it for a 15 " radius because it is really FLAT ..but was surprised to note it starts off as a 9" and increases to a 12" radius up the neck. But after half hour my hands got used to it. And I'm still working out how many sounds can be found on it. Personally, I like the pickup options that incorporate the humbucker(s) since I play mostly jazz fusion or Blues. The other single coil choices show a considerable drop in volume. Thank you again!

Very tasty playing and nice demo of the AZ :-) I've been thinking about the AZ Prestige too. I am/was just about ready to grab a Strandberg classic. I've tried a couple Strandberg's and love the neck and ergonomics, and the classic would be fun for doing pickup swaps and experiments. I've enjoyed listening to your tasty playing on your classic! Very tempted by the AZ but haven't had an opportunity to give one a proper try. ... might have to take the advise you gave in another comment below and get both :-) Thanks and Best wishes!
@sixtring73 3 жыл бұрын
Jack you make anything sound amazing! Very cool guitar though. Deal breaker for me on these AZ's is the 42mm nut width. I favour a 43mm nut such as you'd find on a similar spec'd Charvel.

Owned an AZ224 for a little while. Ultimately it wasn't quite for me, but that neck is still the absolute best neck I've ever played. The craftsmanship, the profile, the roasted maple and the stainless steel frets just made it incredibly comfortable.

I'm itching for one of the AZ Ibanez's, but I can't justify getting it, other than "I love Ibanez". I'm still filled with regret that I didn't wait a few months more when getting my first Suhr. I just didn't expect Ibanez to make their version of Suhr! ;D This one would look even better with gold hardware!
