S-Tech roasted maple neck offers stability and durability
The AZ2204NW’s roasted maple neck receives the S-Tech nitrogen-heating treatment, which increases its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. The neck is then sealed with oil, and fingerboard edges are finished with smooth curves for a supremely comfortable broken-in feel. Meanwhile, this guitar’s oil-finished AZ oval “C”-shaped neck fills your hand nicely at the lower frets while providing a more modern feel when you’re playing up high. You also get an oil-impregnated bone nut for maximum resonance and superior tuning stability.
Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickups yield an endless array of tones
The Ibanez AZ2204NW’s Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickups are among the most sonically flexible we’ve heard here at Sweetwater. Laid out in an HSS configuration, these pickups deliver warm blues licks, shred-heavy metal riffs, and everything in between with the utmost in dynamics and clarity — even in high-gain situations. Beyond that, Ibanez’s dyna-MIX9 switching system provides nine different sound combinations and can shift between humbucker and single-coil modes with a flick of a mini toggle. You can even simulate a humbucking sound by combining the two single-coil pickups. Whatever tone you’re hearing in your head, the AZ2204NW can achieve it.
