Video Summary:
In this video from 42 Gear Street, I team up with the incredible Tom Quayle to unbox and compare two stunning Ibanez AZ guitars – including a surprise delivery of a brand new AZ model in a flat white finish (a.k.a. the “Vlad color”). We dive deep into specs, tones, and the unique features that make these guitars modern tone machines for players who demand versatility and top-tier playability.

From dual humbucker setups to HSS configurations with Ibanez’s Alter Switch “dyna-MIX” system, we explore the tonal possibilities these guitars unlock — up to 10 unique pickup combinations on one instrument! Tom also shares insight into the development of his signature model, offering a behind-the-scenes look at what went into the design, from neck profile to pickup layout and aesthetic choices.

We run the guitars through a Synergy amp setup into a Tone King cab and Two Notes Torpedo Cab M, testing clean tones, overdriven leads, and everything in between. You’ll hear the difference between the AZ's neck materials, body shapes, switching systems, and how they respond in real playing scenarios.

Whether you’re into jazz, fusion, modern rock, or just love killer guitar tones, this video is packed with insights, playing, and good laughs – plus some unexpected food jokes. Huge thanks to Henning and all the supporting brands for making this happen!
