Excellent demo. Thank you. I own an AZES40 and also a Fender Strat AmSTD, and what can I say, after a proper setup, which included in my case a slight fret levelling, the AZES is a charm to play. I bought it as a good platform for modding, but, the ceramic pickups give the guitar its distinctive character, and I just don't want to alter it, I will leave it as it is.
AZ is underated, for beginner player, AZ is more than enough. But if we want to invest for long term, Player series is also a good choice.. Both guitar are great, the demo also awesome!!
The Fender definitely sounds sweeter to my ear, but... a $50 set of alnico pickups for the Ibanez would bridge that gap and save hundreds of dollars. With the extra switching options already wired in I think the Ibanez with different pickups would be my choice.
It depends on what you play. Surely it would be quite easy to play something that illustrates the difference between a ceramic pickup with a 500k pot and an ALNICO with a 250k pot. It is likely that your style depends more on the computer for its tone.

I am an Ibanez guy. I think the Ibanez sounds much better than the Fender Player strat.
