The dedicated Alter Switch lets you toggle between single-coil and humbucking modes for expanded tonal options.

Elite Playability for Every Skill Level

The Ibanez AZES40 boasts a 25" scale length adapted to beginning players and those with smaller hands, shortening the distance between frets for easier access to notes. Its 10" fretboard radius is a solid middle ground between very round and very flat necks, offering equally comfortable chording and single-note playability. Overall, the AZ Standard is an approachable instrument beginners can hone their skills on, but it´s also a guitar intermediate and advanced players can create with as well—in look, feel and features, the AZES40 has universal appeal.
