Ibanez AZ Standard Series AZES31 Electric Guitar – Vermillion New Red

Experience A New Standard Of Ibanez Craftsmanship – The Ibanez AZ Standard Series AZES31 Electric Guitar In Vermillion

Welcoming yet another expansion to the highly successful AZ series, Ibanez is proud to introduce the AZES or AZ Essentials line. The philosophy behind this series is to bring the tone, versatility and, playability of this celebrated lineup to a wider array of beginner and intermediate players. However, AZ Essentials are also equipped with series-specific features such as a Mono-unit output jack, a 250mm fingerboard radius, and Comfort round bridge saddles, all designed to make the beginner’s learning process a streamlined, enjoyable and fun experience.

Ibanez builds guitars for players of all levels – from beginners to the most demanding masters of the instrument. Regardless of price, Ibanez always strives to offer the absolute best sound, style, and playability in its class. The Standard series incorporates all the staples the Ibanez brand is famous for, such as fast necks, floating trems, and high-octane distortion in a package that is available and accessible to most players.

Maple Neck

The Maple neck provides stability and bright tonal character.

Jatoba Fretboard

Jatoba has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.

Medium Frets

Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes.

Poplar Body

Poplar used as body wood delivers a well-balanced tone with incredible thickness.

Ibanez Machine Heads w/ Split-shaft

They feature die-cast housings and split-shaft. The die-cast housing offers protection from dusts and ease of tuning and the split-shaft makes it easy to change the strings.

25 inch Scale

AZES guitars feature a 25″ scale length, which makes for an easier playing instrument for children and players of smaller stature. Additionally, as the 25″, medium scale is also large enough that the player can continue to grow with the instrument as they mature as a guitarist.

250mm Fretboard Radius

The 250mm fretboard radius is not too flat, not too round, and makes for an excellent choice for the first-time player. This radius is a great middle ground that allows for learning to play each note correctly, while still maintaining a high degree of comfort

Mono-unit Output Jack

The mono-unit output jack is made of solid, durable material and is a single piece to avoid unwanted movement and loosening of the jack, which leads to contact failure or disconnection. This innovation allows for long term playing enjoyment and minimal maintenance.

All Access Neck Joint

All Access Neck Joint offers superior playability at the high frets.

Essentials / Accord S-S-S pickups

Essentials and Accord pickups provide well-balanced tone and as well as versatility, so that guitar players can enjoy various styles of music with just one instrument.

F106 Bridge w/ Comfort round Steel saddles

This F106 bridge is equipped with newly developed comfort round Steel saddles. Its construction provides wider range of height adjustment and ease of setting up. Additionally, the screws are less likely to stick out, leading to less stress on your strumming hand and better playing comfort.

dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch

The dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single coil modes with just a flick of the mini switch. One mode even simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single coil pickups.
