Seeking a solidbody electric guitar with classic aesthetics, slick playability, and top-shelf appointments? You've met your match with the Ibanez AZ42P1. Part of Ibanez's Premium line, the AZ42P1 features a comfortable roasted maple neck and a fast-playing rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo-sized stainless steel frets. Two Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups in an HH configuration have a vintage vibe with modern clarity, able to conquer chunky power chords, slow-hand-inspired leads, and virtuosic soloing with equal assurance. The AZ42P1 also features a Gotoh T1502 tremolo for executing high-octane pitch pyrotechnics and rock-solid Gotoh MG-T machine heads. You'll find the AZ42P1 excels in any genre and can tackle every playing situation imaginable — it's a true workhorse that has what it takes to be your new number one.

Roasted maple neck offers stability and durability

The AZ42P1 boasts a roasted maple neck, which increases its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. And it's supremely comfortable — its fingerboard edge was finished with a smooth curve that extends through the border between the fingerboard and the neck to the fingerboard itself. Beyond that, 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 high.

Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups yield an endless array of tones

The Ibanez AZ42P1's Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups are among the most balanced-sounding we've heard. Laid out in an HH configuration, these pickups yield a moderate output and sport Alnico V magnets, which preserve the clarity of your fundamental tone in high-gain situations. You'll also benefit from a dynamic and clear pick attack. Beyond that, Ibanez's dyna-MIX10 switching system provides nine different pickup combinations via a mini-toggle and 5-way blade switch. Whatever tone you're hearing in your head, the AZ42P1 can achieve it.

Gotoh T1502 tremolo provides excellent tuning stability

Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the AZ42P1's T1502 allows for effortless string skipping and hybrid picking thanks to narrow string spacing. Loading the guitar's tremolo arm is a breeze by virtue of the T1502's snap-and-hold socket, and its arm torque adjuster allows for fine adjustments without any tools. The T1502's stud lock screws lock the stud bolts in place, enhancing the instrument's resonance and providing excellent tuning stability. Beyond that, the T1502's 2-point floating tremolo system achieves an astoundingly smooth tremolo motion in either direction.
