Crafted as part of the Premium series, known for being "Designed to Inspire," the AZ47P1QM is a testament to Ibanez's commitment to excellence. The instrument boasts a meticulously crafted Oval C Roasted Maple neck, heat-treated to enhance stability, durability, and resistance to temperature changes.

Designed for stability, the guitar features Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads, ensuring incredible tuning stability and reducing string-changing time. The Gotoh® T1502 tremolo with steel saddles and a die-cast zinc tremolo block enables a quick response and improved articulation, while the 10.5mm string spacing facilitates easy picking across strings.
Adding to its stage-ready features, the Luminescent side dots enhance visibility on dark stages. The guitar comes complete with a specially designed Ibanez gig bag, ensuring the instrument's protection during transport.
Beyond its remarkable features, the AZ47P1QM boasts Special Features that redefine playability.
