The Ibanez AZ22S2BK AZ Standard Electric Guitar delivers versatile tone, comfortable playability, and modern features at a great value — making it an ideal choice for players stepping up from beginner instruments or seasoned guitarists looking for a reliable workhorse. Part of the acclaimed AZ Standard Series, this guitar blends classic design with contemporary performance elements that feel at home in rock, blues, funk, indie, and beyond.
Built with a lightweight alder body and a roasted maple neck, the AZ22S2BK offers a balanced, resonant sound with excellent sustain and stability. The jatoba fretboard with 22 jumbo stainless steel frets provides smooth feel and long-lasting performance, while the Super All Access neck joint gives you effortless reach up to the highest frets for soloing freedom.
Tone versatility comes from the Ibanez Classic Custom H-S-S pickup configuration (single coils in the neck and middle; humbucker at the bridge) coupled with the dyna-MIX9 switching system and Alter Switch, which unlocks nine distinct pickup combinations for everything from glassy cleans to punchy, driven tones. Pair that with the T106 tremolo bridge and locking tuners, and you’ve got a guitar that handles expressive bends, vibrato work, and gig-ready performance with confidence.
Whether you’re playing at home, in the studio, or on stage, the AZ22S2BK strikes a superb balance of comfort, tone flexibility, and modern functionality.
