Perfect move of Ibanez!!! I love the idea of being able to choose a T-style guitar with an enhanced playability!!!
A Tele-inspired Ibanez?! This year will be interesting.
*FR line and Talman T left the chat*
I like the Lari Basilio signature with the HSS and trem configuration. I hope that they bring that to the normal range. Not that I'll be able to afford it anyway but I like it
I like it too. Not this biggest purple fan, but I'd still love to have it. I just wish they had the Birdseye Maple neck on the base models.
Love the channel Levi. One of my favourite guitar channels on TH-cam. 👍🏼🎸
As an AZ user, I'm pretty excited about these T-shaped variations. I'd probably go for the flamed or quilted top.
I guess I just need to save up some money now haha.
I'm a huge fan of Ibanez's F series (the Tele-esque single cut). I was sad to see that it was discontinued for this year, but now that these are announced I think they're a great addition.
I've been waiting for a single cut AZ since the line came out. I actually like the mini humbucker on the neck, since I couldn't care less about maintaining traditions, I'm fine with the headstock and the curved control plate. I'm not sold on the finishes, i would like a butterscotch or white 24 fret versions and i would probably slap a hot rail on the bridge. But anyway, I'm glad this line is a thing now
This is awesome, thank you
Some awesome stuff in the new line-up from Ibanez, I've been fancying an AZ for quite some time, and they go and bring out the RG565 Re-issue and now these! The AZ-S solves every issue I had with my Fender Tele, I just can't get on with the slab body being a strat-style guy. Gonna be an expensive year
I was hoping these to be a bit more traditional in looks. But I absolutely love the specs of these. Now I'm just waiting (and hoping) that they will release some cheaper options of these in the Premium line.
One thing is certain, Ibanez will do it right. They always seem to hit it out of the park. (Even though I wish they had RGs with a fat neck). Unless they already do?
video about to drop on that Undercoverbus!
🥶 that blue model is tough!🧊 Hope you review the azs.
I was planning on buying a Fender Telecaster, either a Player Series or a Vintera 60's modified, since last year. But now I really want to try and maybe buy one of these.
ive been looking for a tele with SS frets and the modern contours and im an ibby fanboy ill be getting one even though the mini hum in the neck isnt what id pick everything else is perfect, also do you know of any good funk guitar books levi? I did buy funk guitar mastery through your link but searching online i couldnt find too many other books that seemed very appealing, thanks
honestly, not really! Not because there aren't any (I'm sure there are!) but I learned funk way before I was serious about books! I just listened to a bunch of funk music and learned it - go learn Tower of Power's Down To The Nightclub!
@@LeviClay thanks ill check it out, thats been the bulk of learning for me just transcribing songs i like
According to Josh Smith, the curved control plate was his idea; he says he drew that for them in designing his sig model.
Id take them all barr the blue ones but the sunburst ones would be my favs, simply gorgeous! :)
After market Pickup manufactures are gearing up double blade bridge bucker production lines... invest now in blade source companies. Hot stock 2021!
Just wondering, Levi, what's your take on the Nachocasters? Do you have one? Also are you a fan of Julian Lage's telecaster work?
Does the bridge plate really make that much difference? I have a blackguard Salën, it still manages that nasal quack, and can also produces a sound that reminds me of some old Led Zep, I haven't got a proper Tele at the mo to compare them. I'm aware that the plate affects the magnetic flux of the pickup...
Really dig these guitars.
These body shapes, particularly the Blue superstrat, kinda reminds me of the old-school Ibanez tele on the cover of Richie Kotzen's 'Electric Joy'
I think the Prussian Blue is beautiful. Also the specs are top notch
I'd like the AZ 2209H, but I don't like the control plate. I could over look the pickguard. The AZ2200 Black or AZ2200Q Blue models are nice looking, but I don't use the the tremelo system either.
Wish the standard version AZS T model came in Black. No tremolo for me on a tele. I'll leave that for my Jag, Strat and Jazzmaster.
love em,only ibby i would consider buying at present.
These remind me a bit of the criminally under appreciated Ibanez 580t from the late 80s.
It's a bit of a "They've only gone and bleedin' done it Mr Bridger!!" moment
Glad to hear about your admiration for the "humbler"... I admire Ibanez and I have no problem with these guitars visually... Be interested to play one.
have you seen my main tele?
@@LeviClay Got the point!
I have been wanting a tele style guitar, but really was put off by no belly cut and no forearm contour. this may fit the bill, the cost will be problematic.. since the prestige guitars are expensive!
I've gone through so many different, conflicting emotions watching this.
*Ahem*
'Wot, Ibanez, Telecaster?Did I hear that right? To WOT? JOSH SMITH, Playing... Ibanez?! To Wow, that's definitely.. Something.. To, oh, badass, they've actually made this in an Ibanez way, with the easy access neck joint, the extra switch and the Seymour Duncans, that makes sense. To, oh cool, 22 frets, nice, I bet it'll still be a little shreddy country beast, bet it'll be fun to play, to, actually, I quite like that headstock, to, but I really feel connected to the original Fender Telecaster, what is this world anymore? to, wait, I have very little money, none of this should matter to me, to, I don't know who I am or what I think anymore.. To, but it's already growing on me and the more you show pictures of it the more unique and exciting I think it is.'
I'll be sending you the bill for my psychiatrist, good day sir.
In all seriousness, it looks kinda weird, but in an aesthetically pleasing way? Not sure if that makes sense. I can also appreciate the Ibanez-y things they've done to it. I can honestly imagine it becoming one of those quriky guitars, that catches a pulse for something tele players want but didn't realise they did. Very, very cool! Hope you're doing well Levi, all the best to you and yours! ✌😊
As cool as these are I really wish they’d have also made the Talman more widely available, always thought it was a really cool take on a guitar with a Tele layout and a roasted maple neck would just be the icing on the cake.
as a kid the Offspring were my jam, so the Talman has always had a place in my heart!
I love it. I can't wait to hear that neck pickup clean.
Really glad they changed the pickups - the Hyperion sound is kinda fizzy for a Tele.
The neck stability is a huge plus for this line - hold my credit card 😐
The Lari Basilio sig looks amazing!
with you in 2 mins!
I want an Ibanez AZS paul Gilbert signature in Pink with one humbucker (biridge) and one mini humbucker (neck) an Racer X guitar ...
Tele with a Bigsby trem is a traditional variant.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I wonder how much these will be..
I’m sorry to say but for myself I much better like a Godin style telecaster, look beautiful, has top quality finish and ergonomic fantastic as well. Sound quality top one! Check out Godin guitars.
It's good to see an evolution of a known design. I bet the gatekeepers are foaming. But that's ok, these aren't for them. I'd love one.
Need a 7 with dual humbuckers. The mini humbucker is a odd choice .
But, the prices...lower than a Gibson, but a serious chunk of change
They’re probably awesome, but that pickup selector area looks goddamn tragic.
Love the guitar but the bold block lettering of the logo. Be nice with something a little more subtle like script writing
True, even the crazy ibanez stoneman has the vintage logo haha
Neck's a little thin and narrow. I won't be using a trem. Control plate is fabulous. Remove the bridge pickup without removing the bridge... pathetic that Fender couldn't figure that one out in what's approaching a century. For the money it needs stainless frets and a 9-1/2 to 12 compound radius. Electronics may be to complicated... I don't know. Probably to expensive for me. All in all though, you'd have to have never had a tele not to see how this is a vast improvement on the extreemly lazy holders of the original design. I tip my hat to Ibanez. Bout time.
These look great and I'm sure they'll be just as popular as the AZ but I really don't know why they decided not to offer a single coil neck pickup version. That's a deal breaker for me and possibly others.
Totally see where you're coming from - there is one on the Josh Smith FlatV1
@@LeviClay Ah yes of course!
I remember this past christmas thinking "wouldn't it be nice for ibanez to do a t style guitar in the AZ range?
it already existed.. the FR series
@@jukruhar94 the FR series is more of am RG with a tele body
Hey dude check out the new Josh Smith signature from ibanez!!!
already got a video on it - been dying to tell people about it for months!
@@LeviClay shit!
Isn't that an awesome guitar!! and the tone! Wow!
They will probably play good but I think they dropped the ball, I think they could have done a better design, I've been waiting for this cus I love teles but I seen other companies do better tele variations.
Lets see... We will introduce new variations of the same theme and do it for $2,000.00 to $2600.00 during a pandemic, high unemployment and soon to be one of the worst economies for some time? Smart, really smart.
Musical instrument sales have gone through the roof in the last year. Manufacturers can’t keep up with demand
@@LeviClay Yep, except what goes up always comes down...Friends of mine who are dealers are saying the same thing. Don't remember the percentage of people who buy and never stay with it. Its above 90% which means there will be one heck of a used market down the road and the 'bad' economy has yet to hit but its coming.
Far Out .
Locking tuners?
I'd get them and instantly swap them pickups with bardens!
thought that too... but you'd need a custom scratch plate for it!
Played one yesterday. The trem is bizarre. Decked with 5 (yes 5!) screws. You have to practically sit on the trem bar to get it to move. Totally pointless IMO. Great guitar otherwise.
What of talman?
what of them?
SHould have taken on the LP instead.
Tel-benez.
Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy fucking havoc
TELECASTER?? It's crazy that nobody realizes that the AZS is just a FR with "AZ" treatment .. the FR has always been a weak contender in Ibanez's catalog, so now the rebranded it as the AZS... pure marketing, fellas
looks like a premium teleman to me
@@matthewchunk3689 did you mean Talman? overlay the AZS body shape with the FR Series and you'll see they are the same
@@jukruhar94 the azs has a horn like an FR but haunches is like the telman. the parts are of course completely different. it's like comparing a squire to a fender based on shape.
You also seem to be a Mayones guy🤔😉! Beautiful!!!
I have 6
@@LeviClay Awesome, I own a Legend, which really is a monster guitar!
The Schecter PT sells for less than $600 and comes with a P90 in the neck. I think they look better and retain more of the classic Tele looks than these Ibanez models. As do the Godin Stadium HT models.
these look awful. I'm sure they play great and sound great, but they look strange.
Hasn't even bloody gpt one.
Disregard.
How would you expect someone to have something… the day it’s ANNOUNCED and not actually available?
@@LeviClay Stall the review... until there is actually one to review.
@@two-toneblue4872 what review though. Where did anyone say this is a review? It’s an announcement. A preview.
@@LeviClay Okay. Point taken.
