The Ibanez AZ22S2 continues the AZ legacy by delivering maximum tonal flexibility and unmatched playability—all in a sleek, modern design crafted for today’s most demanding players. Whether you're playing blues, prog, funk, or heavy rock, the AZ22S2 adapts to your style with precision and ease.
Built with a lightweight Alder body, the AZ22S2 offers a naturally bright, balanced tone with rich sustain—ideal for both rhythm and lead work. The Roasted Maple neck adds strength, stability, and a smooth, dry feel, thanks to a special heat treatment that enhances durability and resistance to temperature and humidity changes.
A Jatoba fretboard adds warmth and midrange punch, while the jumbo stainless steel frets provide long-lasting performance with fast articulation and crystal-clear note separation—perfect for everything from fast runs to expressive bends.
The tonal versatility of the AZ22S2 comes from its trio of Ibanez Classic Custom pickups: alnico single coils in the neck and middle positions deliver clear, vintage-inspired warmth, while a ceramic bridge humbucker delivers modern punch and drive. This set is paired with the powerful dyna-MIX9 switching system, which gives you nine distinct pickup combinations—including humbucker simulations and single-coil clarity—with just a flick of the Alter Switch.
Hardware upgrades like locking machine heads ensure tuning stability even during aggressive tremolo use, while the T106 tremolo bridge offers precise intonation and height adjustment across all six strings.
Rounding it out is the Super All Access Neck Joint, providing unmatched upper fret access for soloing freedom without compromise.
From clean to crunch and everywhere in between, the Ibanez AZ22S2 is an all-in-one tonal machine built for creative exploration.
