Ibanez AZS2200Q-RBS AZS Prestige Guitar - Royal Blue Sapphire

Ibanez AZS2200Q-RBS AZS Prestige Guitar - Royal Blue Sapphire

If you're looking for top-shelf tone in a guitar that's made for today's player, the Ibanez AZS2200Q-RBS AZS Prestige Guitar - Royal Blue Sapphire is your instrument. Its balanced-sounding alder body with a quilted maple top boasts comfortable, shallow rear and larger forearm contours. Seymour Duncan pickups project clarity while boasting a vintage sound, and a dyna-MIX5 switching system provides an endless array of tones. As far as comfort and stability, the AZS2200Q's S-Tech wood-roasted maple neck and fingerboard are second to none. Plus, the Gotoh T1802 tremolo allows you to bend, twist, and dive-bomb with perfect intonation. The AZS2200Q is topped off with 22 stainless steel frets for effortless playability.

Durable design with enhanced construction

To complement the AZS2200Q's vintage mojo, Ibanez constructed this axe with high-quality tonewoods and enhancements. At its core sits a solid alder body, a trademark wood with a full-bodied tone and great sustain. The AZS2200Q's fast-playing roasted maple neck has undergone Ibanez's S-Tech wood nitrogen-heating treatment, which increases its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. The neck is then sealed with oil, resulting in a well-played feel. Plus, this guitar's AZ oval "C"-shaped neck fills your hand nicely at the lower frets, while providing a more modern feel when playing up highs.

With its classic single-coil/humbucker configuration, the AZS2200Q is ideal for players looking for that balance of classic twang and modern bite. The Duncan Alnico II Pro Custom single-coil in the bridge is sweet and smooth, perfect for delivering rock and bluesy tones. In the neck sits a Magic Touch-mini humbucker, balanced across the full spectrum with crystal-clear articulation. Beyond that, Ibanez's dyna-MIX5 switching system provides several different pickup combinations via a mini toggle and 3-way lever switch. Whatever tone you're hearing in your head, the AZS2200Q can achieve it.

Gotoh T1802 tremolo provides excellent tuning stability

Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the AZS2200Q's T1802 bridge features machined titanium saddles and a solid-steel tremolo block, ensuring quick response and amazing articulation. String skipping and hybrid picking are effortless thanks to narrow string spacing. Loading the guitar's tremolo arm is a breeze by virtue of the T1802's snap-and-hold socket; its arm torque adjuster allows for fine adjustments without any tools. The T1802's stud lock screws lock the stud bolts in place, enhancing the instrument's resonance and providing excellent tuning stability. Beyond that, the T1802's 2-point floating tremolo system achieves an astoundingly smooth tremolo motion in either direction.

What Ibanez Says...

There are three principles behind the Ibanez Prestige line: Precision, Performance, and Playability.

S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple fretboard w/Abalone dot inlay

S-TECH special roasted treatment provides a superior attack and a well-balanced tone and a rich sustain. In order to achieve supreme neck grip comfort, the fretboard edge is finished with a smooth curve.

5 tremolo springs

Five tremolo springs allow string vibration to be more efficiently transferred to the guitar body.

Gotoh® Magnum Lock machine heads w/H.A.P.(Height Adjustable Post)

GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® machine heads have an established reputation for tuning stability. Its H. A. P® (Height Adjustable Post). system allows for the adjustment of string posts for the appropriate tension of each string.

Steel pickup plate

This steel pickup plate is designed exclusively for AZS series. It’s a critical component that helps generate that quintessential ”Twangy” tone, for which this style guitar is known. This plate is present on both the tremolo and hardtail versions of the AZS, something that is not typical for guitars of this type. This plate, in combination with the traditional style single coil bridge pickup, preserves this iconic sound across the entire AZS lineup.

Seymour Duncan® Magic Touch-mini™ / Alnico II Pro™ Custom pickups

The Magic Touch-mini™ pickup in the neck position offers iconic tonal clarity for which this style of guitar is known, yet with extra body and articulation. The output level is also carefully configured to perfectly match the bridge pickup. The Alnico II Pro™ Custom pickup in bridge position offers up an ample supply of clarity and twang, while also delivering a nice mid-range bark.

dyna-MIX5 switching system with Alter Switch

The dyna-MIX5 switching system with Alter Switch adds a sound variation to fit so many different kinds of playing style.

Non-recessed bridge cavity

While the AZ series features a recessed bridge cavity for fluid and dynamic tremolo action, this model has non-recessed bridge cavity. The direct contact between bridge plate and the guitar body provides better resonance and helps facilitate subtle nuances in playing dynamics.

Gotoh® T1802 tremolo bridge

The T1802 tremolo bridge features machined titanium saddles and a machined steel tremolo block for a quick response, thick lows and rich highs. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings and its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm.
