That’s great. Yeah I was very impressed with that one. Thanks so much for watching.

Thank you so much. 😊

Thanks so much. Happy to have you along. If you find my videos valuable, that’s very gratifying.

Thanks. I hope you’re enjoying the videos.

Thank you my friend.

Well thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Mike. I’m envious. I haven’t been to Lisbon but when I was touring I played several cities in Europe and wished I could have stayed! And yes. Super versatile guitars suitable for a lot of styles. Take care and keep checking out the channel. 😊

Thank you my friend. Yeah, this is a tough one to let go. I can’t keep them all but if I’m very lucky something else will sell first and I can talk myself into keeping the AZ. It really is a fine guitar.

No lie. I am doing some research on if I want an AZ and filtered this month and you were at top of list. Right into playing clean. Fantastic tone. Not my bag/style but yeah :) and wow :). Best Regards and Best Wishes Sir. Subscribed. After watching entire video: You have found your spirit guitar :)

@@blessedheavyelements8544 Thank you. That’s the thing about this guitar, whatever you’re into, it’ll handle it. I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you so much.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

I did as well. Really nice, high quality guitar that pretty much had it all, looks, feel, sound, playability, it was all there. Thanks for watching.

They make some very nice instruments.

Well, the obvious caveat is in your question: “for my taste”. These are both nice playing, good sounding, well crafted guitars, and the choice between them is very much like the choice between a Strat and a Tele. For me, I’ve owned a number of Teles and Tele style guitars and I like them a lot, but I never seem to keep them. I tend to gravitate toward the Strat style. So for me, the AZ2204N was just a little better fit, and I enjoyed it just a little more. I loved the variety of sounds. But keep in mind, another player with equal experience is just as likely to choose the 2209. I know that’s not definitive, but it’s always going to just be preference. I hope this helps and thanks so much for watching.

@@leonardgriffieblues5845 It definitely helped a lot. Thank you!

And I have bought the guitar! It is really great! Thanks again!

Thanks Filip. I’m using a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb. It does the blackface Fender thing extremely well and for recording, honestly I couldn’t mic up a tube Deluxe Reverb and make it sound any better. I find it an ideal platform for guitar demos.

👍🏼😎 Thank you for watching.

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I’d love to review one of the T-style AZs and if I get the opportunity to grab one, I’ll do it.

Thank you. I’m fine with the tort guard, and it’s the same on all three of the original colors. There is a new color out though (mostly preorder at the moment). It’s called mint which looks a bit like a pale surf green, with a guard that looks like Fender’s mint green (in photos of course).

@@leonardgriffieblues5845 Thanks for the info.

Thank you. Yes, these, like all Ibanez Prestige models, do cost. You could buy 2 SE Silver Skys or a used USA Silver Sky even. But it is a very different beast so it just depends what you’re after.

@@leonardgriffieblues5845 Very true.

Have a look at FGN guitars ! (they also make these guitars for Ibanez, and they cost less… )

Yes, I’m familiar with the FGN line and hopefully I’ll get my hands on one. Some models are surprisingly inexpensive for MIJ.

Thank you my friend.

@@leonardgriffieblues5845 you're welcome!!
