Ibanez AZ Essentials Electric Guitar Purist Blue

The Ibanez AZES40 electric guitar brings the celebrated AZ series' tone, versatility and playability to beginner and intermediate guitarists. This stylish Ibanez features versatile Essentials single-coil and Accord humbucker pickups, along with the advanced dyna-MIX9 switching system for tonal variety. Its smooth maple neck, jatoba fingerboard and lightweight poplar body offer superior comfort, while the T106 tremolo bridge provides expressive control for players of any genre.

Player-Focused Design Optimized for Beginners

From its smooth neck and narrow 1.654" nut to its lightweight poplar body, the AZES40 provides exceptional playing comfort for beginners and intermediates alike. The contoured body with deep cutaway grants easy access to higher frets while reducing fatigue, and other player-friendly enhancements, like the Comfort round bridge saddles, make the instrument highly accessible. Everything about the Ibanez AZES40 aims to make playing guitar a fun and inspiring experience.

Elite Playability for Every Skill Level

The Ibanez AZES40 boasts a 25" scale length adapted to beginning players and those with smaller hands, shortening the distance between frets for easier access to notes. Its 10" fretboard radius is a solid middle ground between very round and very flat necks, offering equally comfortable chording and single-note playability. Overall, the AZ Standard is an approachable instrument beginners can hone their skills on, but it's also a guitar intermediate and advanced players can create with as well—in look, feel and features, the AZES40 has universal appeal.
