The Ibanez AZES40, created in partnership with guitar guru Tomo Fujita from Berklee College of Music and YouTube, is ready to raise the bar for entry-level guitars with its stage-ready playability, electronic bells and whistles, and affordable price. The poplar body is the foundation, which is joined by a maple neck with its distinctive snap and sustain and a jatoba fingerboard with its silky-smooth playability. These hard-hitting tonewoods are a must-have for beginners, as they will save them time rehearsing favorite riffs and allow them to spend less time battling the instrument to get it to feel just right. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the AZES40’s onboard electronics, which feature an HSS pickup combination for nailing single-coil and humbucker sounds as well as Ibanez’s dyna-MIX9 switching system for maximizing sonic potential. The Ibanez AZES40 is a groundbreaking entry-level instrument with outstanding woods and electronics.
