First Look at the New 2022 Ibanez AZ Series & the Ibanez YY20 Yvette Young Signature Guitar!

[@AhmadSleeq]

the tone zone is chosen on almost all ibanez guitars as standard for a reason, it sounds incredible.

[@kenminerva]

The Tone Zone was widely used back then by all the popular, top class guitar players before they came up with their own signature pickups. I remember Paul Gilbert uses it for Mr. Big stuff a lot and I think even until now some of his guitars got the Tone Zone. Tone Zone and Air Norton is a classic combo. Love all the new Ibanez models!! Always love Ibanez!! Ibanez ftw!!

[@damonstewart70]

I'm a DIMARZIO MAN/FAN BOY. The TONE ZONE is my FAVORITE PICK UP,and your right as older DIMARZIO catalog & forums say the AIR NORTON with it makes the PERFECT NECK pick up I got em in an alder lower end non locking tuner rg Ibanez. Those pickup and locking tuners make my guitar a PHAT VERSATILE MONSTER

[@joshoptical]

Michael Romeo of Symphony X runs double Tone Zones. Gilbert was known to as well with the neck in parallel. I’m about to throw one in the neck of my RH520QS w a Super Distortion in the bridge!

I have been lusting over one of those Yvette young guitars for a while.. this version is even better too.. it’s got the tele pickups and bridge and it’s orange sparkle ✨

[@隠れた]

Although I do wish they had a fender radius, I play 7.25 radius all all my guitars so that would be a big change to a Ibanez 12in

[@joshoptical]

@@隠れた yeah Ibanez is pretty flat on almost all their models. Esp for all Yvette’s tapping.

[@joshoptical]

It does look even better.

[@jlore6344]

The outtakes at the end were great. Also Pete on the YY just in his own world while Captain Lee watched! Keep it up boys!

[@kevinmartin4634]

It’s funny, I bought the Talman Prestige Japanese version of this Yvette Young made in Indonesia for $600 when they discontinued them a few years ago. I also bought one of the Strat configured ones at the same time for $700 new. Lucky me. The Prestige models are incredible guitars!

[@mikeg.9238]

Great intro jam and i love that AZ42P1 , Ibanez always kills it. They along with Schecter are my favorite guitars to play , they're always well built and affordable...

[@maxadocious]

god i love the sound of ibanez guitars (i wonder if basswood is more consistent or something). They look really cool too. Plus the wider necks feel really nice; super playable. dang i'm gonna go play my ibanez right now!!! Thanks Andertons that's funny on the z vs zed thing too; i first heard zed when i went to canada... couldn't believe we had a whole different name for an alphabet letter. Much love from the USA

[@cosmikrelic4815]

or maybe the wood doesn't make that much difference. as for the language thing, americans seen to be very insular.

[@TheShinyShow]

Basswood is definitely one of my favourites, or at the very least guitars that have basswood bodies tend to sound really good to me.

[@Pulse2AM]

@@cosmikrelic4815 If you come to America you'll realize it's a melting pot of nationalities and immigrants especially in big cities like mine, not so much in rural America.

[@Pulse2AM]

I like Mahogany and Alder better they're a little darker sounding like my personality. 😂

At last a review of my favorite brand of guitars, and ones i would buy. The YY20 looks and sounds stunning, where is my credit card?

[@evanmaunders5688]

Yvette really knows how to pick her finishes

[@kerbyfab]

I agree 100%

[@algorithm007ify]

its ugly

[@Jdx192]

Captain on fire in the Intro 🔥great playing 👍👍

[@radfury23g32]

I love that guitars for around 1k by big brands are now coming with ss frets, really liking the AZ series

[@milaskilathelab]

They actually based a guitar off Yvette! Back in 2019 they were talking about this! Crazy cool!

[@frankzappa951]

That Yvette guitar is my cuppa chai

[@Airfire21]

I wish that they would do more Talman stuff. SUCH a great design, but they decided to shift it to be the bass/uke shape... it deserves to be a guitar shape! The first guitar I ever bought was an Ibanez - the RC520. That would be a great shape for them to bring back too!

[@zague173]

Play that YY20 in FACGBE tuning!!!!!!!!

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

No matter what country you live in Ibanez have a special name for every guitar name in that countries language. You can not write that many names on the headstock so that long name with letters and numbers put on the headstock is actually the phone number so you can call and find out what the one you bought is called. Cool! Yes???

[@grayaj23]

I have a YY20 on preorder. IDK why exactly. I don't have a T type guitar, so I figured why not.

[@powbobs]

It’s beautiful and Yvette is amazing?

[@grumpyrocker]

If you keep an eye on Cort guitars you can see the higher end models are like adverts for what the company can do. And you'll notice the next year its clients such as Ibanez have models that are a lot like the previous year's Cort models. For example that black AZ that Lee plays is a lot like the Cort G300 Pro.

[@greysuit17]

Is The Captain upstaging Pete today?!? 🔥🔥🔥

[@havardask]

Petrucci and Paul Gilbert used the Tone Zone :) Satriani had the Fred in those days.

[@dwcsystems]

“Speed knobbing” made me choke on my coffee hahaha ! Great video guys :)

[@nym053]

I like that Ibanez did their own headstock designs. I don't particulally like the one on the stratty ones. But I do like the one on the tele one :) And also like that Ibanez don't try to make straight up copies, but just makes heavily inspired guitar models :)

[@abuzafeera]

[@parkerkenney6113]

I’m still waiting for someone to put a tele bridge and bridge pickup on a strat. I’m about to just build one myself.

[@damonstewart70]

How would you use vibrato arm

[@parkerkenney6113]

@@damonstewart70 I’d just replace the whole bridge of the strat and install a tele bridge

[@poison7512]

All you have to do is add a resistor to the coil split switch and BOOM real single coil tones. Its kind of amazing that only PRS is doing that.

[@TreenighetMaranata]

Lari Basilio plays Ibanez, not always, but she does and it sounds so good, + I love her playing stile, alot of good feel and melodies!

[@mikebogaars8565]

Outstanding playing during the intro captain!

[@KeeperOfPoops]

would love a sound like Covet's Yvette Young if we get sound like back in march, please and thank you

[@musicplaylists59]

good luck to whoever has to try to play like her lol

[@pablo9364]

The Ibanez AZ is a proper musicians guitar

Awesome. Very Cool series of guitars. Love what Ibanez do. Cheers

[@milaskilathelab]

I had no idea you guys were based back in my hometown of Guildford! That's wicked!

[@GRBAquatics]

Another awesome Demo/Review Thankyou. I amgetting more impressed with Ibanez Guitars everytime I see/play them. Very well made and always an enjoyable experience.

[@michaeljohnson8058]

Hi cap & Pete 😉 I'm a long-time viewer. I've noticed that every time Mr. Lee is presented with a new product, the first thing he does is to delineate what other products it's like, thusly limiting a viewer/customer's perception of what the product could be to themselves. To my thinking this would limit sales as people could be thinking "i thought that seemed cool but if it's like product "x" , it's not for me." Just tryin' to help, Michael Johnson, illinois. 🤘

[@Owtyg23]

God damn! Pete's playing at 27:30! Amazing playing man

[@Fogeyspasm]

Got my Yy20 on order. Got the Yy10. Awesome guitar.

[@alexjackson8841]

Lee, at 15:00 the song you're thinking of is "fall to pieces' velvet revolver!

[@pastorofmuppets1968]

I've been playing RG's since the 80's. I still have 9 tasty examples in my closet. I'll never let them go!

[@Arch_Stanton.]

10:43 Both of those new 6-string Premium models are way better looking than the earlier ones. I wish Ibanez would make one Premium model (or 3) with an HSS-configuration and 22 frets with similar, classier finishes.

[@teppizini]

Yvette knows what she's doing with those talmans. I wish Ibanez would bring them back.

[@Flopster2632]

@15:14 it sounded like Pete was playing “wonder boy” by tenacious D 🤙🏼

I love the ibanez iceman , wich you can only get as an paul stanley signature now .

[@user-pt1ye7vd7m]

Lately, the guitar sounds in Andertons's videos are really low compared to the voice. Please adress that. Other than that, love all your videos.

[@HandOfMetal]

Damn that Yvette's guitar looks and sounds great. love Ibanez, but I wish they would name their models a bit simpler way.

[@chl3224]

All the numbers in their names mean some aspect of the guitar's specifications.

[@powbobs]

Yvette Young - YY20 seems pretty simple.

[@unnamedproducer82]

I've been waiting for this. Please do the RGs next. Edit: got overly excited and commented before I watched lol I guess RGs are next. 🤘🏾🔥🔥

[@vadergrd]

the first one and the tele one are dope , and they should be for the price!

[@larryburwell8550]

I love your channel watch all your videos. Being a les Paul player I don't like many Ibanez guitars but being a kiss fan I own a Paul Stanley 1996 ps10 guitar I love it and it plays like a les paul

Is there a video danish pete just playing for an hour or so

[@1970Richiez]

Cool another range of Cort guitars !

[@roleypyolee91]

"what does it sound like?" around 15:00 that gave me Velvet Revolver "Fall to Pieces" vibes. The Bb doesn't quite go in that direction, but the melody line kinda wandered into Fall to Pieces territory.

[@IBuiltDaArk]

I heard Rush's "2112" the part right after Temples of Syrinx

When y'all demo other guitars, no matter how pricey, I without fail will ask myself "Why didn't they stop to tune?" at some point in the video. Not so with Ibanez.

Playability over Everything! Go into a guitar store, play everything, and I bet some ugly guitar will be the perfect guitar for you. Same thing for cymbals, you can play 100 K customs and you'll get 100 different sounds, and maybe none of them will be right!

[@jmabs5096]

Eh nothing ground breaking, great guitars but nothing we haven't seen before.

[@tiomkinnyborg2289]

Question: What is the dumbest place to put an output jack on a guitar? Answer: Look at the AZ and note that all the paid shills on KZbin NEVER point out the stupidity. -------------- You just finished a hot session and as per normal you take your guitar off and place it on its arse leaning against something. That move is second nature. Then you hear a sickening 'CRACK' as you realize you have damaged your guitar or smashed your guitar lead. At that point you wonder what Ibanez was smoking when some idiot decided to place the jack at the base of the guitar to be 'different and modern'. And why no reviewer has ever mentioned it. Keep on $hilling. If you want an Ibanez, buy an old model when they were proud to innovate and cared about their customers. Next year look out for the output jack sticking out of the 12th fret!!! and the volume/tone controls on the headstock.

[@bassyey]

Yeah that's kinda weird. I can't imagine putting that on my guitar rack. Seems dangerous.

[@1972Georges]

again, nothing for leftys. nada. to bad.

[@suicidaleuphoria7012]

Why do all of Ibanez guitars look like they came out of a high school wood working shop class? Save your money, kids. Get a Epiphone, Squire, or ESP LTD.
