Ibanez AZ242PBG-CKB 6 String American Basswood Body Poplar Burl Top Electric Guitar Charcoal Black Burst (AZ242PBG AZ242)

Roasted maple neck offers stability and durability
The AZ242PBG’s roasted maple neck offers increased 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 you’re playing up high. Luminescent side dots give you a great point of reference on dark stages.
Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers yield an endless array of tones
The Ibanez AZ242PBG’s Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers are among the most balanced-sounding pickups we’ve heard here at Sweetwater. These passive humbuckers 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 10 different pickup combinations via a mini toggle and 5-way blade switch. Whatever tone you’re hearing in your head, the AZ242PBG can achieve it.
Gotoh T1502 tremolo provides excellent tuning stability
Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the AZ242PBG’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.
