#IbanezAZ #Ibanez2022 #TheGuitarGeek - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you for the great, great review of this great and beautiful guitar!
Tuxedo. Great review! Found you because I'm considering one of these in Prussian Blue Metallic. Thanks for spending so much time on the clean and mid-gain tones!
Thanks for the honest review. Enjoyed it. I wish it had a maple top to add a little bit more high frequencies and make it even more versatile. Tuxedo 🤘
Andy, I feel you need to do a record. Your intros are breathtaking.
Thanks for the review!
Great review! Was thinking of getting the prestige, but this one looks solid and then I can use the cash for the effects…
That is one sharp looking guitar! definitely want to try some Ibanezezezez when I see some in a guitar shop.
You should!
Thanks a lot from Belgium
Own one of the UV70P made in Indonesia premium guitars and really don't understand why everyone complains about them not being Japanese quality its easily the best guitar I've ever owned.
I've just pulled the trigger on a used az premium. Fingers crossed it's a good one!
Sorry forgot Tuxedo.
Definitely dig the look! Reminds me of Pete thron’s signature suhr.
I need to try that Suhr!
The reason the trem arm clicks is because you haven't pushed it in all the way down. You need to push it down until it clicks into place.
Really want to check out the HH like this. I saw a sss locally and it looked great, but didn’t have time to plug it in. This sounds really good. Aces, Andy. 🤘🏻
Another nice video Thanks! Is there a plastic cover over the top Humbucker? Does this affect the tone? Kind regards
It's metal and it does effect the sound
Nice oroduct showcase of the ibanez premium AZ line! :)
You could also take a look at the Cort line, the G300 pro is basically the ibby AZ premium on a budget....
Btw are you still selling the Fender PP in aged candy red?
Thanks I will! And yes I am PP
Would it be easy to swap out the pickups? They look like they have a larger cutout or something which would be bad if I just put in regular humbuckers
Good honest review, it sounds like a torpedo in a Tuxedo. Smooth and rather silky. Not what I expected.
Thanks for watching!
Almost impossible to get them in South Africa, most guitars are out of stock here and nothing on back order. Appreciate the selection and availability of guitars you have in first world countries.
Actually most guitars are out of stock here. "Available in six months" or so.
Which type of PU for the twang HSS / HH ? thank you Great Video.. #tuxedo
Hello! Will this guitar go for metal or do I need to change the sensors????
I have an rga made in Indonesia and the fretwork is out of this world
It is essentially a Suhr Pete Thorn Signature for a third of the price. Wilkinson locking sadles on that puppy and it would fix the tuning issues!
Brilliant review. Tuxedo
This guitar needs to come with a Tuxedo!
not a fan of that cheap trem block, but they have to cut corners somewhere, i dare say this guitar looks better than my AZ 2402 prestige, i like the covers on the pickups too wish mine had it, i might go for one of these in the future
Learned on an ibanez gio. Bought a Jackson, loved it. Woot playing sold everything years ago. Bought an ibanez acoustic and it's badass. Falling in love with playing again. This AZ is so sexy. Bout to get another electric and I think this might be it
AZ2404 in rose might be my next guitar. But im concerned about tuning stability without a locking nut and a trem
The humbucker covers acctually changes the tone slightly. You loose some top end with the covers on.
Tuxedo, there I said it!
Finally a guitar with very distinct and different sounds on the selector switch.
Begs the question, why does it have a tone control, it seems to be superfluous.
You know people would complain if it didn't have one....
Great review! Thanks for that. TOXIDO :)
Love this video, thank you. Long time subscriber here. Just have a question if anyone can help. I'm after buying one of these, I have a PRS SE that i love. Is the neck on this more playable than an SE. Thank you. Hi from the UK.
Sorry forgot Tuxedo.
It is hard to quantify such a subjective question. What could be playable for me could be awful for you.
@@TheGuitarGeek Hi thanks for the reply, yes, I knew you'd say that to be fair. Your right. Thanks.
English dude, Mike here, sorry but I can't remember your name but I watch a lot of your vids...anyway 2:27 No, sorry but Ibanez did not change that. The Premium range comes with the pin-wheel MG-T locking tuners and the Prestige range comes with the magnum lock HAP tuners that you unlock from the front. I have 3 AZ Prestige it's the guitar I spent my life looking for. If you're ever in Lisbon, Portugal, we can have a jam session.
Going into drop d for one song is not and option for a non locking floating trem.
Pitch, piano and vanta are all nice colors but tuxedo is a personal favorite of some of my other worldly associates.
You may know them as the Men in …. Wait what we’re not supposed to to talk about them!?!
Vanta is my favourite
Just a heads up. Some stainless steels are non magnetic c: Nice review btw
Also… Tuxedo
Tuxedo. Every time you said alter switch I thought Altar Bridge. No idea what they sound like as I e never heard their music but that just kept happening for some reason!
It's just your mind playing tricks on you...
My dream guitar! But its so expsensive! ($2100 australian dollars)
I don't know if I should spend this much and be responsible for such an expensive peice of equipment, but I can't stop thinking about it.
It has all the specs that I need and looks beautiful!
What should I do??
Look at the Suhr Pete Thorn signature, very similary specs and wil make this one seem like an absolute bargain!
Hey RoryMon. Don't spend money you don't have but if it's possible to try this guitar and it helps you make music, I am sure there would be a way to fund it by selling other gear or something like that
Same boat here in South Africa. And there is hardly any stock here.
I recently got this guitar it’s worth it for sure
That black... something to really looked at
Really is!
I'd prefer a rosted maple fretboard instead of the rosewood one for more looking tuxedo 😎
It's awards season and this guitar can definitely rock a Tuxedo!!! :P
Does the sound go for everyone at around 14:40?
Yes, TH-cam had a copyright claim.
@@TheGuitarGeek I would take that as a compliment.
The luminescent side dots are just for show they don't glow. I'm being serious, they only glow on the Prestige, just look at your AZ and look at the dots on the Premium.
Tuxedo for the algorithm!
Bless you Paul!
Well dressed in that tuxedo... Gives me Suhr vibes
yes, a lot of people have commented on the Suhr vibe. I am yet to play a Suhr.
That's a perfect guitar to play while wearing a tuxedo 😉
Hey Dale! I do actually own a tux...
man, you should try Soloking guitars... 500 bucks made in Indonesia, absolutely mindblowing even against 3k Suhrs 😂😂
I would love to!
"Tuxedo" it sounds good
My RG1221 premiums finish quality is obsolete shite. The edge of the fretboard looks like a rat clearanced the frets. And it has a plastic nut, PLASTIC nut on a $1400 guitar. But dont get me wrong I LOVE IT! It rips and sounds so good. But It showed me prestige from now on.
Imma buy this then repaint it to White :)
I’m buying a JS240PS and painting it white. 🙂
£300 NECK LOADED + 400 LOADED body that's £699 or £799 with every one taking their cut. (Courier,manufacturer and guitar store) 800 max. That's what I am thinking anyway
Thanks for pointing it out. I guess we have been calculating it wrong for decades then 😉
But how do you afford your weekend house in Malibu with prices so cheap?
@@TheGuitarGeek you can't give away all my secrets here. What's next? Talking about my Yacht or my 911 Porsche? You gotta keep it a bit more private, ok buddy?
This would sound a helluva lot better if you took the plastic off the pickups.
No it wouldn’t
Nothing as nice as a tuxedo black guitar.
Heck yes!
Right now they aren't getting too good, too expensive maybe. Not saying they can't be decent guitars though.
Tux is doooo 😉
Made in Indonesia....the best in the world
I think Indonesian Made more better than chinese Made,i Don't say Chinese Made is not better but i can feel the different between them.
Looks great but I didn't like the sound.
Fair enough!
An apropriate guitar to play while in mourning.
or in the evening
Every guitar that isn't made in china and costs more than 400$ is good and this is an amazing guitar but I don't like this pickups they are bit too loud
I’ll remember that every time I review something now
Nope.. two too many frets for me.. they don't pay me enough to play anything that high :)
You get paid? Awesome!
az인도네시아 기타들은 하나같이 1번줄 이탈현상이 심각함. az242 az47p1 다 1번줄이 프렛 밖으로 이탈함 az2402 az2204는 그런현상이 없는걸 봐선 인도네시아산 자체 빌드에 문제가있는듯
Turbo Tuxedo!
Are Turbo Are Tuxedo Are
@@TheGuitarGeek ;)
This guitar really sells how bloody tall you are - it looks like a toy, aha
Lol you must be pretty tall that thing looks like a toy on you 😂
Tuxedo Torpedo
boom!
High quality stainless steel is not magnetic
