Solidbody Electric Guitar with Poplar Body, Maple Neck, Jatoba Fingerboard, and 3 Single-coil Pickups - Purist Blue

the Ibanez AZES31 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.

You'll be duly impressed by the quality of the AZES31'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 AZES31 is an unprecedented beginner-grade instrument.
