The new Ibanez AZ Standards are all about delivering “unprecedented performance and affordability” by drawing inspiration from both ends of the AZ spectrum.

To that end, the Standard variants offer a string of neat appointments – from locking tuners, stainless steel frets, expansive switching, Super All-Access neck joints and more – all at a price point that is barely believable.

The AZ22S1F opts for an HSS setup with a pair of Ibanez Modern Single Coils and a Custom humbucker. It’s got many of the same specs as the MIJ Prestige models – an alder body, flame maple top, roasted maple neck and 22 stainless steel frets among them.

Also included is the dyna-MIX9 with Alter Switch system, which offers 9 pickup combinations in a variety of coil split and power tap wirings.
