Ibanez proudly introduces the AZES31, a remarkable addition to the AZ Essentials line, an extension of the highly successful AZ series. Crafted with a philosophy that prioritizes tone, versatility, and playability, the AZ Essentials line caters to a diverse range of beginner and intermediate players. The guitar's Maple neck ensures stability and imparts a bright tonal character, while the Jatoba fretboard offers a reddish-brown hue and produces a rich mid-range with crisp highs.
Designed to enhance playability, the AZES31 features medium-sized frets, providing accuracy for every note played. The Poplar body contributes to a well-balanced tone with remarkable thickness. Equipped with Essentials S-S-S pickups, this guitar delivers a well-balanced tone and versatility, allowing players to explore various musical styles with a single instrument.
The F106 bridge with Comfort round Steel saddles is a highlight of the AZES31. This newly developed bridge offers a wider range of height adjustment and ease of setup, ensuring a comfortable playing experience. The dyna-MIX8 switching system with Alter Switch provides eight sound variations, seamlessly transitioning between humbucker and single-coil modes with a flick of the mini switch.
Among its standout features, the AZES31 incorporates series-specific elements for beginner-friendly learning. The guitar features a 25-inch scale, optimizing playability for players of smaller stature and children. The 250mm fretboard radius strikes a perfect balance between flat and round, offering an excellent choice for first-time players by enabling accurate note-playing while maintaining a high level of comfort.
In terms of durability and innovation, the AZES31 introduces a Mono-unit output jack, a solid, single-piece construction to prevent unwanted movement or loosening, ensuring long-term playing enjoyment with minimal maintenance. The All Access Neck Joint enhances playability at the high frets, providing superior access and comfort.
In summary, the Ibanez AZES31 is not just a guitar for beginners; it's an invitation to an enjoyable and streamlined learning experience. With a focus on essential features, playability, and versatility, this instrument is poised to inspire the musical journey of players at the start of their exploration into the world of guitars.
