Features We Love:

A New Level of Quality

Ibanez decided they were tired of the trope of "affordable" and "beginner" guitars hindering players from enjoying the act of learning guitar due to poor quality or uncomfortable designs/specs. The AZES31, and the whole AZ Essentials Series correct this by delivering a feature packed, Ibanez quality instrument, that's still designed with the novice in mind, at a fantastic price.

Ibanez Essentials Pickups and dyna-MIX8 Switching

The AZES31 features a trio of Ibanez Essentials singlecoil pickups with a 5-way-switch, giving you the classic 5 positions common to 3-pickup guitars. This is augmented with the dyna-MIX8switching system with Alter Switch. This expands your tonal options with paired pickups wired in series like a humbucker instead of parallel, or having the Bridge and Neck pickups on together like a T-Style guitar.This gives you a hugely expanded array of tones to play with.

Beginner Friendly Measurements

The AZES31 has been designed with the beginner in mind. The 25" scale length is a little shorter than that traditionally found in lighter weight, 3-pickup double cutaway guitars, making it a little more accessible for inexperienced hands. The 250mm fretboard radius makes forming chords at the lower end of the fretboard a breeze while keeping things clear up the top for effortless lead work and string bending.
