Description
Sound & Tone
The alder body and 25.5" scale give this AZ a snappy, well-defined attack with punchy mids and clear top end, while the roasted maple neck and jatoba fretboard keep note separation tight and sustain even. The pair of Ibanez Modern Custom humbuckers stay articulate under clean and edge-of-breakup settings and tighten up rather than smear when pushed into higher gain, and the dyna-MIX10 switching with the Alter Switch opens up single-coil-style and blended voices for greater range from the same two pickups. It suits players who move between funk and pop-style clean work, blues and rock lead lines, and heavier riffing, with the T106 tremolo and locking tuners on hand for vibrato and dive work.
Ibanez AZ24S2 Electric Guitar in Metallic Light Blue B-Stock
The AZ24S2 is engineered for studio tracking and session work, with ergonomic double-cutaway contours and modern neck geometry that support precision performance over long recording days. This guitar balances refined articulation with versatile tonal capability, translating cleanly to tape whether capturing delicate fingerpicking or aggressive rhythmic attacks. The roasted maple neck and carefully voiced Ibanez Modern Custom pickups create an instrument that captures both nuanced dynamics and commanding presence in the mix.
Recording Playability & Session Comfort
The 25.5" scale and Super All Access bolt-on joint grant full fretboard accessibility across 24 jumbo stainless steel frets on the jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays—critical for takes that demand fret access without repositioning. The alder body in Metallic Light Blue paired with the roasted maple neck delivers a lightweight, responsive instrument with excellent sustain and minimal neck dive during extended tracking sessions, reducing fatigue during multiple takes.
Tone Tracking & Signal Chain
The pair of Ibanez Modern Custom humbuckers in neck and bridge positions capture articulate highs and punchy mids with natural harmonic complexity that cuts through dense arrangements. The T106 tremolo bridge with chrome hardware maintains tuning stability across sessions, while 10.5mm string spacing, locking machine heads, and the dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch enable precise intonation and expressive tonal shaping without switching guitars mid-session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means the AZ24S2 is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections: material trapped beneath the clear coat on the back cover plate and a finish crack at the neck pocket. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. The guitar carries the full manufacturer's warranty.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and progressive rock?
Yes. The AZ24S2 is specifically designed for rock, metal, and progressive music. Dual Modern Custom humbuckers generate punchy mids and articulate highs with natural harmonic complexity, and the 24 jumbo stainless steel frets with tight low end support both clean textures and aggressive, driven tones.
What is the neck like, and will it feel fast?
The roasted maple bolt-on neck features modern geometry and a Super All Access joint that provides unfettered access to all 24 frets. At 25.5 inches scale with 10.5mm string spacing and white dot inlays on the jatoba fretboard, it's designed for precision and speed, ideal for intermediate to professional players.
How stable is the tuning on this model?
The T106 tremolo bridge with chrome hardware, locking machine heads, and 10.5mm string spacing maintain tuning stability during extended playing and expressive use. The dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch provides additional precision for intonation and tonal shaping.
What genres should I avoid with this guitar?
The AZ24S2 is optimized for rock, metal, and progressive music. It is not recommended for folk or traditional jazz applications where its tone profile and voicing would be a poor fit.
