The body of the AZS2209H is made of ash. The S-TECH treatment of the guitar's maple neck and fingerboard improves the wood's properties (stability, durability, resistance to water and temperature fluctuations) and gives the guitar the look and feel of a mature/played instrument. The fingerboard is fitted with rounded Jumbo stainless steel frets (Prestige fret edge treatment). Orientation on the fingerboard surface is facilitated by black position dots and luminescent markers on the side.
The two passive Seymour Duncan pickups, a single-coil and a mini humbucker, give the guitar a clean, dynamic, articulate sound with a characteristic twang, helped by the metal pickup plate that houses the single-coil. The dyna-MIX5 switching system (three-position pickup switch and two-position alter switch) offers five different pickup connection options, including split coil humbucker or series pickup connection.
The strings are secured via an impregnated bone fretboard in the Gotoh F1803's solid cob (and through the body of the guitar) and Gotoh Magnum Lock tuning mechanisms, which guarantee tuning stability even with frequent lever use. The H. A. P (Height Adjustable Post) allows you to adjust the height of the string pin to achieve the ideal string tension. The titanium "In Tune" saddles, designed in collaboration between Ibanez and Gotoh, offer grooves that actively prevent string slippage (the first and sixth saddles have rounder edges and deeper grooves).
The guitar comes in a case.
The Prestige represents the second highest quality range in the Ibanez range. These are instruments with superior craftsmanship, sound and playability manufactured right here in Japan. Their final form is a combination of the latest hi-tech manufacturing techniques and traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
