This guitar is so easy to play dude. Of all the guitars I’ve owned, including an autographed JP6, this is the best. Beyond the best. I had to pull out on selling it because I just love it to much, the mini hum single single combo is too perfect. The thin baked maple neck is incredible. It’s just amazing

[@lapercog]

funny thing is, both polyphia and chon's signature series looks kinda the same albeit with different configuration and colors lmao

[@diamondartist1991]

Because it is the same model (Ibanez AZ), but all their signature series are different by their number of frets and pickups configuration. Otherwise they are great, though quiet expensive.

[@alexlevesque9687]

Tim Henson's is definitely the most interesting guitar of all the ones released that were based on the AZ (more interesting than Mario Sfogli, Chon, Martin Miller etc.)

[@cguitar4733]

man I need HELP. I want an ibanez so bad but I play jazz, blues, neo jazz, lofi and this kind of shit. I'm now into prog rock but I dunno if this "metal guitar tunesh" will make it but at the same time, a "regular strat" isn't cutting for me... Confuse, I know. But if someone that plays wider genders (on a Ibanez) can help? I'm still kind of intermediate noob and I can only affort one guittar. Should I go for it or stay with tradicional strat? I play clean... Anyway, thanks and also great channel :)

[@tub3l0rd]

Just get something with a high output bridge, lower output paf style neck and get someone to wire in coil splits, I've got a dimarzio paf emulating humbucker wired for splitting and it sounds excellent

Although Playing God was the first Polyphia song I heard whenever it came out, Champagne was the 1st song that opened my ears and couldn’t get enough if that riff.

[@zacgarcia7164]

@@kevbaka i mean any guitar can play different styles of music. It comes down to your gear/setup. I made my telecaster chug lol. Of course some guitars are better for certain genres but Ibanez is very universal. I play my AZ prestige for worship and at home ill play A7x, Polyphia, Djenty shit, John Mayer, jazz etc. Super universal. The TH sig guitar is closer to the premium line but is very similar to the Prestige except different pickups and neck (which is why its less expensive) Both sound great imo
