The Tone Zone was widely used back then by all the popular, top class guitar players before they came up with their own signature pickups. I remember Paul Gilbert uses it for Mr. Big stuff a lot and I think even until now some of his guitars got the Tone Zone. Tone Zone and Air Norton is a classic combo. Love all the new Ibanez models!! Always love Ibanez!! Ibanez ftw!!
I'm a DIMARZIO MAN/FAN BOY. The TONE ZONE is my FAVORITE PICK UP,and your right as older DIMARZIO catalog & forums say the AIR NORTON with it makes the PERFECT NECK pick up I got em in an alder lower end non locking tuner rg Ibanez. Those pickup and locking tuners make my guitar a PHAT VERSATILE MONSTER
Michael Romeo of Symphony X runs double Tone Zones. Gilbert was known to as well with the neck in parallel. I’m about to throw one in the neck of my RH520QS w a Super Distortion in the bridge!
I have been lusting over one of those Yvette young guitars for a while.. this version is even better too.. it’s got the tele pickups and bridge and it’s orange sparkle ✨
Great intro jam and i love that AZ42P1 , Ibanez always kills it. They along with Schecter are my favorite guitars to play , they're always well built and affordable...
It’s funny, I bought the Talman Prestige Japanese version of this Yvette Young made in Indonesia for $600 when they discontinued them a few years ago. I also bought one of the Strat configured ones at the same time for $700 new. Lucky me. The Prestige models are incredible guitars!
god i love the sound of ibanez guitars (i wonder if basswood is more consistent or something). They look really cool too. Plus the wider necks feel really nice; super playable. dang i'm gonna go play my ibanez right now!!! Thanks Andertons that's funny on the z vs zed thing too; i first heard zed when i went to canada... couldn't believe we had a whole different name for an alphabet letter. Much love from the USA
@@cosmikrelic4815 If you come to America you'll realize it's a melting pot of nationalities and immigrants especially in big cities like mine, not so much in rural America.
I wish that they would do more Talman stuff. SUCH a great design, but they decided to shift it to be the bass/uke shape... it deserves to be a guitar shape! The first guitar I ever bought was an Ibanez - the RC520. That would be a great shape for them to bring back too!
I like that Ibanez did their own headstock designs. I don't particulally like the one on the stratty ones. But I do like the one on the tele one :) And also like that Ibanez don't try to make straight up copies, but just makes heavily inspired guitar models :)
No matter what country you live in Ibanez have a special name for every guitar name in that countries language. You can not write that many names on the headstock so that long name with letters and numbers put on the headstock is actually the phone number so you can call and find out what the one you bought is called. Cool! Yes???
If you keep an eye on Cort guitars you can see the higher end models are like adverts for what the company can do. And you'll notice the next year its clients such as Ibanez have models that are a lot like the previous year's Cort models. For example that black AZ that Lee plays is a lot like the Cort G300 Pro.
Another awesome Demo/Review Thankyou. I amgetting more impressed with Ibanez Guitars everytime I see/play them. Very well made and always an enjoyable experience.
Hi cap & Pete 😉 I'm a long-time viewer. I've noticed that every time Mr. Lee is presented with a new product, the first thing he does is to delineate what other products it's like, thusly limiting a viewer/customer's perception of what the product could be to themselves. To my thinking this would limit sales as people could be thinking "i thought that seemed cool but if it's like product "x" , it's not for me." Just tryin' to help, Michael Johnson, illinois. 🤘
I love your channel watch all your videos. Being a les Paul player I don't like many Ibanez guitars but being a kiss fan I own a Paul Stanley 1996 ps10 guitar I love it and it plays like a les paul
10:43 Both of those new 6-string Premium models are way better looking than the earlier ones. I wish Ibanez would make one Premium model (or 3) with an HSS-configuration and 22 frets with similar, classier finishes.
"what does it sound like?" around 15:00 that gave me Velvet Revolver "Fall to Pieces" vibes. The Bb doesn't quite go in that direction, but the melody line kinda wandered into Fall to Pieces territory.
15:00 "what song is that?" to me it sounded a bit like Holy Man by Deep Purple, from Stormbringer (which as everyone knows is the best Deep Purple album)
When y'all demo other guitars, no matter how pricey, I without fail will ask myself "Why didn't they stop to tune?" at some point in the video. Not so with Ibanez.
Playability over Everything! Go into a guitar store, play everything, and I bet some ugly guitar will be the perfect guitar for you. Same thing for cymbals, you can play 100 K customs and you'll get 100 different sounds, and maybe none of them will be right!
Question: What is the dumbest place to put an output jack on a guitar? Answer: Look at the AZ and note that all the paid shills on TH-cam NEVER point out the stupidity. -------------- You just finished a hot session and as per normal you take your guitar off and place it on its arse leaning against something. That move is second nature. Then you hear a sickening 'CRACK' as you realize you have damaged your guitar or smashed your guitar lead. At that point you wonder what Ibanez was smoking when some idiot decided to place the jack at the base of the guitar to be 'different and modern'. And why no reviewer has ever mentioned it. Keep on $hilling. If you want an Ibanez, buy an old model when they were proud to innovate and cared about their customers. Next year look out for the output jack sticking out of the 12th fret!!! and the volume/tone controls on the headstock.
Why do all of Ibanez guitars look like they came out of a high school wood working shop class? Save your money, kids. Get a Epiphone, Squire, or ESP LTD.
after returning 3 fender tele's for abysmal QA (aka unplayable out of the box) i went with an ibanez and i can't put that thing down. wish they made yvette's guitar in a more plain finish though.
@@larsheuker yes! i have two semi acoustic Ibanez guitars, one full hollow body jazz box style thing that i have strung with 13 gauge flatwound strings and obviously use mostly for jazz. and a ES style semi hollow that i have 10s on and actually love for playing blues on mostly. i really like them both.
the tone zone is chosen on almost all ibanez guitars as standard for a reason, it sounds incredible.

The outtakes at the end were great. Also Pete on the YY just in his own world while Captain Lee watched! Keep it up boys!
I have been lusting over one of those Yvette young guitars for a while.. this version is even better too.. it’s got the tele pickups and bridge and it’s orange sparkle ✨
Although I do wish they had a fender radius, I play 7.25 radius all all my guitars so that would be a big change to a Ibanez 12in
@@隠れた yeah Ibanez is pretty flat on almost all their models. Esp for all Yvette’s tapping.
It does look even better.

At last a review of my favorite brand of guitars, and ones i would buy.
The YY20 looks and sounds stunning, where is my credit card?
I love that guitars for around 1k by big brands are now coming with ss frets, really liking the AZ series

or maybe the wood doesn't make that much difference. as for the language thing, americans seen to be very insular.
Basswood is definitely one of my favourites, or at the very least guitars that have basswood bodies tend to sound really good to me.
@@cosmikrelic4815 If you come to America you'll realize it's a melting pot of nationalities and immigrants especially in big cities like mine, not so much in rural America.
I like Mahogany and Alder better they're a little darker sounding like my personality. 😂
@@Pulse2AM alder is BRIGHTER than basswood think strats
They actually based a guitar off Yvette! Back in 2019 they were talking about this! Crazy cool!
Yvette really knows how to pick her finishes
I agree 100%
its ugly

Lari Basilio plays Ibanez, not always, but she does and it sounds so good, + I love her playing stile, alot of good feel and melodies!
Captain on fire in the Intro 🔥great playing 👍👍

I've been waiting for this. Please do the RGs next.
Edit: got overly excited and commented before I watched lol I guess RGs are next.

Petrucci and Paul Gilbert used the Tone Zone :)
Satriani had the Fred in those days.
God damn! Pete's playing at 27:30! Amazing playing man
I had no idea you guys were based back in my hometown of Guildford! That's wicked!
Another awesome Demo/Review Thankyou. I amgetting more impressed with Ibanez Guitars everytime I see/play them. Very well made and always an enjoyable experience.
Is The Captain upstaging Pete today?!? 🔥🔥🔥
“Speed knobbing” made me choke on my coffee hahaha ! Great video guys :)
That Yvette guitar is my cuppa chai
Awesome. Very Cool series of guitars. Love what Ibanez do. Cheers
All you have to do is add a resistor to the coil split switch and BOOM real single coil tones. Its kind of amazing that only PRS is doing that.
Play that YY20 in FACGBE tuning!!!!!!!!
Outtro solo Pete🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lee, at 15:00 the song you're thinking of is "fall to pieces' velvet revolver!

Got my Yy20 on order. Got the Yy10. Awesome guitar.
The Ibanez AZ is a proper musicians guitar
I have a YY20 on preorder. IDK why exactly. I don't have a T type guitar, so I figured why not.
It’s beautiful and Yvette is amazing?
10:43 Both of those new 6-string Premium models are way better looking than the earlier ones. I wish Ibanez would make one Premium model (or 3) with an HSS-configuration and 22 frets with similar, classier finishes.
I’m still waiting for someone to put a tele bridge and bridge pickup on a strat. I’m about to just build one myself.
How would you use vibrato arm
@@damonstewart70 I’d just replace the whole bridge of the strat and install a tele bridge
@15:14 it sounded like Pete was playing “wonder boy” by tenacious D 🤙🏼
the first one and the tele one are dope , and they should be for the price!
I've been playing RG's since the 80's. I still have 9 tasty examples in my closet. I'll never let them go!
Cool another range of Cort guitars !
AZ42P1 BK is great
I love the ibanez iceman , wich you can only get as an paul stanley signature now .
Yvette knows what she's doing with those talmans. I wish Ibanez would bring them back.
Lately, the guitar sounds in Andertons's videos are really low compared to the voice.
Please adress that.
Other than that, love all your videos.
Paul Gilbert definitely has been a Tone Zone endorser FWIW
Is there a video danish pete just playing for an hour or so
Captain and Pete playing Ibanez is kinda' like a couple cowboys flying spaceships, it's cool, but just slightly off kilter lol.
Love Those Colors 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Damn that Yvette's guitar looks and sounds great. love Ibanez, but I wish they would name their models a bit simpler way.
All the numbers in their names mean some aspect of the guitar's specifications.
Yvette Young - YY20 seems pretty simple.
Man can they just bring back the talman in the usa. Such a beautiful guitar shape to me.
Reacharound ... I love those LOL ! !
"what does it sound like?" around 15:00 that gave me Velvet Revolver "Fall to Pieces" vibes. The Bb doesn't quite go in that direction, but the melody line kinda wandered into Fall to Pieces territory.
I heard Rush's "2112" the part right after Temples of Syrinx
I've been working on the captains style of vibrato lately lol
Voted !😀
Vote cast 👌🏻
15:00 "what song is that?" to me it sounded a bit like Holy Man by Deep Purple, from Stormbringer (which as everyone knows is the best Deep Purple album)
Can we have a wheezy laugh compilation video?
Very cool
Sirs the pickups aren't Marshall - there's no Marshall Air Norton pick as Petey says
For everyone who hasn't subscribed, fuckin do it so i can get that klon centaur back there
20:34 why was the first thing that came to mind Why? Why? 2020
Can I get that Yevette Talsman in pearl white with fat gold sparkle with gold hardware??? Please Ibanez???
Why does Pete prefer nickel frets?
more bloopers please
💜💜💜
Not really digging these new models. Nothing jumps out. Are these gonna replace the other Az models? Was rrealy gassing fpr a blue 2204.
I'm not shreddy enough to go rg. that's hilarious.
need rob for this kind of solo
Why not review schecter jack fowler ?
i think if we removed vibe from the english language, lee wouldn't be able to describe anything :-)
Call me the algorithm booster
I love everything Ibanez but they don't have any HSS AZ for their premium line. That's shitty.
They do, it’s the Tim Henson signature one, the THBB10.
Haha non-pentatonic scale doesn't work for them
When y'all demo other guitars, no matter how pricey, I without fail will ask myself "Why didn't they stop to tune?" at some point in the video. Not so with Ibanez.
You guys are cute when playing heavy stuff..
Heavy stuff is boring to me.
🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
What a bloody row.
That’s put me off an Ibanez.
esp shaved off part of its neck heel since the 90s at least
Eh nothing ground breaking, great guitars but nothing we haven't seen before.
again, nothing for leftys. nada. to bad.
