The Ibanez AZES40 Electric Guitar from the AZ Essentials series offers the celebrated tone, playability, and versatility of the AZ lineup in a player-friendly design ideal for beginners and intermediates. Its 25" scale length is perfect for smaller players but still supports long-term growth, while a 250mm fretboard radius provides a comfortable balance between flat and curved for smooth playability. A maple neck adds brightness and stability, paired with a Jatoba fretboard for rich mids and crisp highs. The poplar body delivers a thick, well-balanced tone, complemented by Essentials and Accord pickups and the dyna-MIX9 system, offering nine sound variations including humbucker, single-coil, and simulated combinations. Medium frets improve note accuracy, and the All Access Neck Joint allows easy access to higher frets. The T106 bridge with Comfort round saddles ensures better playability and setup, while die-cast, split-shaft tuners offer easy string changes and tuning stability. A solid mono-unit output jack minimizes maintenance, making this guitar a reliable, versatile companion for aspiring musicians.
