Ibanez – AZ Essentials AZES31 Electric Guitar – Purist Blue

Welcoming yet another expansion to the highly successful AZ series, Ibanez is proud to introduce the AZES or AZ Essentials line. The philosophy behind this series is to bring the tone, versatility and, playability of this celebrated lineup to a wider array of beginner and intermediate players. However, AZ Essentials are also equipped with series-specific features such as a Mono-unit output jack, a 250mm fingerboard radius, and Comfort round bridge saddles, all designed to make the beginner’s learning process a streamlined, enjoyable and fun experience.

The Ibanez AZES31, created in partnership with guitar guru Tomo Fujita from Berklee College of Music and YouTube, is ready to raise the bar for entry-level instruments 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 powerful tonewoods are ideal for beginners, who will spend less time battling the instrument to get it to feel exactly right and more time honing their favorite riffs. With an SSS pickup combination for nailing the spank and twang of single coils and Ibanez’s dyna-MIX8 switching system for releasing more sonic possibilities, the AZES31’s onboard electronics will more than satisfy your expectations. The Ibanez AZES31 is a groundbreaking instrument for beginners thanks to its outstanding woods and electronics.
