Ibanez AZES Electric Guitar - Ivory Reviews
Designed in collaboration with Berklee College of Music professor and YouTube guitar instructor Tomo Fujita, the Ibanez AZES Electric Guitar is prepared to set a new standard for entry-level instruments by offering stage-ready playability, electronic bells and whistles, and an attractive price. It all starts with a poplar body, which is paired with the trademark snap and sustain of a maple neck and silky-smooth playability of jatoba for the fingerboard. Beginners are guaranteed to benefit from enlisting these hard-hitting tonewoods, leading to less time sparring with the instrument to get it feeling just right and more time practicing beloved riffs. Sweetwater's gigging guitarists are blown away by the quality of the AZES's onboard electronics, with an SSS pickup combination for nailing the spank and twang of single coils alongside Ibanez's dyna-MIX8 switching system for unleashing more sonic possibilities. With its impressive woods and electronics, the Ibanez AZES is an unprecedented beginner-grade instrument.

You won’t get more versatility for the price
I recently purchased this guitar as to keep around so I wouldn't be upset if my kids destroyed it. I made my decision based on the variety of pickup combinations, since you won't find an S style guitar with this many pickup options under $ anywhere else. After setting the action and intonation (factory setup was as expected at this price point), I'm very happy with my decision. If you have been playing, the 25" scale takes some getting used to, but the pickup combinations alone make it worth every dollar, and it might become the kids' first guitar one day since it would fit well in smaller hands. The mint green pick guard on the ivory body is a nice touch. Zack at Sweetwater was helpful and as always, Sweetwater doesn't disappoint in the customer service department.
