The Ibanez AZ2402 electric guitar reflects what Ibanez is best known for in its Japan-built instruments, combining a clean, modern feel with precise construction and long-term reliability. This Prestige model electric guitar features a solid alder body that produces a clear, balanced voice, paired with a bolt-on S-Tech roasted maple neck designed to stay stable and responsive in changing environments. A 25.5" scale length keeps the playing feel familiar, while the roasted maple fingerboard carries 24 jumbo stainless steel frets across a 12" radius, allowing smooth position shifts across the neck. Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers run through the dyna-MIX10 switching system, controlled by a master volume, master tone, a 5-way selector, and an Alter Switch that reroutes pickup wiring to unlock additional humbucker and single-coil-style sounds, giving the Ibanez AZ2402 electric guitar the flexibility to move easily between studio sessions, rehearsals, and live performance.
A Neck That Feels Broken In From Day One
The AZ Oval C neck on this Ibanez electric guitar is carved from S-Tech roasted maple and finished with oil, creating a natural, played-in feel without sacrificing stability. Rounded fretboard edges and the Super All Access neck joint make the upper frets easy to reach, whether you’re stretching out chords or leaning into lead lines. The profile finds a comfortable balance that supports both relaxed rhythm playing and more technical passages.
Roasted Maple Fingerboard With Stainless Steel Frets
The roasted maple fingerboard on the AZ2402 electric adds snap and definition while keeping the overall response balanced. 24 jumbo stainless steel frets feel smooth under the fingers and hold up well over time, even with regular playing. Prestige fret edge treatment refines the feel further, while black dot inlays and Luminlay side dots make navigation easy on dimly lit stages.
Hyperion Pickups With a Wide Range on Tap
Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers in this Ibanez electric guitar use Alnico 5 magnets to deliver clear, even output that keeps notes defined, even when gain is pushed. The dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch opens up ten usable tones, including convincing single-coil-style sounds through Power Tap mode. This setup encourages tonal exploration without overcomplicating the control layout.
Tremolo Hardware You Can Actually Rely On
The Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge on the Ibanez AZ2402 electric guitar offers a fast, responsive feel with a solid return to pitch, thanks to its titanium saddles and steel block. Paired with Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners with H.A.P. posts and a bone nut, the hardware remains stable during vibrato use and holds tuning through extended playing sessions.
Built to Be a Go-To Electric Guitar
At its core, the AZ Prestige lineup is about having one Ibanez electric guitar that can cover a wide range of musical situations without added complexity. An ergonomic rear body contour keeps the instrument comfortable whether sitting or standing, while the satin polyester Roadster Orange Metallic finish protects the alder body without interfering with resonance. Supplied with an Ibanez hardshell case, the AZ2402 is well suited for players who want a dependable, versatile electric guitar for everyday playing, recording, and live work.
