Roasted maple neck offers stability and durability





The AZ427P2QM boasts a roasted maple neck, which increases its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. And it's supremely comfortable ? its fingerboard edge was finished with a smooth curve that extends through the border between the fingerboard and the neck to the fingerboard itself. Beyond that, this guitar's AZ7 oval "C"-shaped neck fills your hand nicely at the lower frets while providing a more modern feel when playing up high.

Seymour Duncan Hyperion 7 pickups yield an endless array of tones





The Ibanez AZ427P2QM's Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups are among the most balanced-sounding we've heard here at Sweetwater. Laid out in an HH configuration, these pickups yield a moderate output and sport Alnico V magnets, which preserve the clarity of your fundamental tone in high-gain situations. You'll also benefit from a dynamic and clear pick attack. Beyond that, Ibanez's dyna-MIX10 switching system provides 10 different pickup combinations via a mini-toggle and 5-way blade switch. Whatever tone you're hearing in your head, the AZ427P2QM can achieve it.





Gotoh T1572S tremolo provides excellent tuning stability





Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the AZ427P2QM's T1572S allows for effortless string skipping and hybrid picking thanks to narrow string spacing. Loading the guitar's tremolo arm is a breeze by virtue of the T1572S's snap-and-hold socket, and its arm torque adjuster allows for fine adjustments without any tools. The T1572S's stud lock screws lock the stud bolts in place, enhancing the instrument's resonance and providing excellent tuning stability. Beyond that, the T1572S's 2-point floating tremolo system achieves an astoundingly smooth tremolo motion in either direction.
