Ibanez AZ Standard AZ22S2 Electric Guitar - Black

The Ibanez AZ22S2 electric guitar is built to feel natural in your hands while offering the flexibility to cover a wide range of styles. Its alder body delivers a clear, balanced response, paired with a bolt-on roasted maple neck that stays smooth and stable as conditions change. A 25.5" scale length keeps the feel familiar, while the jatoba fingerboard is fitted with 22 jumbo stainless steel frets for a solid, confident playing surface. Ibanez Classic Custom pickups in an SSH layout run through the dyna-MIX9 switching system, controlled by a master volume, master tone, a 5-way selector, and an Alter Switch that reroutes the pickups for additional single-coil and humbucker-style sounds, making the AZ22S2 easy to dial in for practice, recording, or live use.

A Roasted Maple Neck That Feels Comfortable Right Away

The AZ22S2's roasted maple neck is heat-treated to improve stability and resist temperature and humidity changes, helping it feel consistent from one room to the next. Its smooth, oval-style profile sits comfortably in the hand, whether you’re playing open chords or moving quickly across the neck. The Super All Access neck joint also makes the upper frets easy to reach without awkward hand positions.

Jatoba Fingerboard With Stainless Steel Frets

The jatoba fingerboard brings a focused midrange with a clean, crisp top end that pairs well with the alder body. 22 jumbo stainless steel frets feel smooth under your fingers and hold up well over time, giving bends and vibrato a confident, controlled response. The overall feel stays predictable, even during longer playing sessions.

Classic Custom Pickups With Practical Switching

Ibanez Classic Custom pickups combine alnico single-coils in the neck and middle positions with a ceramic humbucker at the bridge, covering everything from clear, articulate cleans to tighter, more driven sounds. The dyna-MIX9 system with Alter Switch opens up nine useful pickup combinations, including humbucker-style tones created from the single-coils. It’s a flexible setup that’s quick to understand and easy to use on the fly.

Hardware Designed for Consistent Performance

The T106 tremolo bridge uses six independent saddles, making it easy to fine-tune intonation and string height while keeping tremolo action smooth and controlled. Locking tuning machines help keep tuning stable during bends and vibrato work, and the chrome hardware gives the guitar a clean, straightforward look.

An AZ That Works Across Styles

The AZ Standard lineup is aimed at players who want a guitar that adapts easily without extra fuss. The alder body responds well to clean and driven tones alike, while the gloss polyester Mint Green finish adds durability for regular use. The AZ22S2 is a strong option for players looking for a modern-feeling electric guitar that’s comfortable on stage, dependable in the studio, and easy to enjoy day after day.
