The AZ242bc sounds really good, i have it and i think i never had a guitar as versatile as this one for the price ! Very good demo, nice backing and beautiful chords

[@LucaMantovanelli]

Yeah it's a really good gtr! Thanks mate

[@Mr.Goldbar]

gotta say the real winner is the Abasi plugin. these clean tones are huge!

[@gintaanime8192]

that chords in shane............ I love it

[@misteres335]

Only the first one stays clean all the way and sounds most open....

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Gotta love Ibanez naming. Really keeps things simple... 🙄

[@matiasbaezamusic]

Name means: wood, color, rings, bridge, frets 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jodigab]

I’m having the AZ242BC and i really love the sound🥰

[@alessionorberto6492]

Tutto stupendo: le chitarre, il tono pulito e l'atmosfera delicata di questi pochi accordi

[@Mr.Goldbar]

They all sound great! I love position 4 on all AZs! Also, Neural DSP kicks ass!!

[@Vestu]

Are these played on position 4? so neck + middle single coil on the H-S-S guitar?

[@Mr.Goldbar]

@@Vestu exactly! And 2 inner coils on the 2H

[@OlehAndrievsky]

Thanks for the comparison,Luca!

[@LucaMantovanelli]

Glad u like it!

[@jeffh3409]

Greetings Luca from the USA! There's a light blue Ibanez you used in your Grooves & Timing Masterclass Vol. 2. I have not seen this one anywhere. Great color and love the roasted maple. Which model is that guitar? Thanks!

[@rvrfxmusic]

I believe it’s the AZ2204-SFB, exclusive to parts of Europe. You can order them off Thomann but I think they’re backordered rn.

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Always appreciate a good comparison video. Thanks!

[@LucaMantovanelli]

Thank u!

[@matiasbaezamusic]

Hey Luca! Great video... which one would be your favorite? I’m thinking to get one next year. But I can’t decide I’m an Ibanez endorser too, have few RG’s... guess I’m looking a replacement for my strat but also wanted a 24f for soloing aaaah so hard 😅

[@tommyg2112]

This chord progression stopped me in my tracks... Great stuff

[@guitarandotherthings6090]

Music is so similar to the newest Flight Simulator lol.

[@abishuachendriah]

Great video man. Thank you for enabling us to hear and enjoy this comparison. I have just received the AZ242BC, impressive guitar! I sold my Fender American Elite 2017 model to purchase this one! However, i noticed no difference while having the alter switch on or off in the position 1 (Bridge pickup). Any of you noticed same ? Any tips/suggestions? Thank you in advance for your response.

[@LucaMantovanelli]

Hey thanks man! U tried the switch with low Gian as well?

[@abishuachendriah]

@@LucaMantovanelli Yes, i tried but still same :(

[@LucaMantovanelli]

@@abishuachendriah that's weird.. u tried to ask to the shop?

[@Mr.Goldbar]

I know it should happen on the HSS, but not on the HH I suggest you ask the shop

[@garyjinks7482]

That is by design so you can quickly get the humbucker sound regardless of switch position.

[@FedericoMK]

The Abasi rocks! And you as well :) what was the pickup configuration on the guitars?

[@LucaMantovanelli]

🙏🙏 position 4 (between neck and center)

[@GuitarJawn]

All I want is a two-tone sunburst AZ

[@LucaMantovanelli]

Nice idea

[@GuitarJawn]

@CHAN LEE Na that's too much, just a simple AZ with Alder in a two-tone sunburst

[@SP-sz8nz]

What amp and effects is used here ?

[@juancarlosgranados4425]

First and last one. Fuller body.

[@LucaMantovanelli]

Cool!

[@ericlinfoot7419]

That last one and the one you use in the fusion master class are really beautiful. In terms of sound n this video they didn't sound all that different to each other

[@eigenvector77]

May I know if you have experienced noise with the single coils? I've a Az224 and I find them noisy.

[@LucaMantovanelli]

@@eigenvector77 no.. i have mama pickups on my custom white and hyperion on the red one.. no noise to me..

[@jorgemlcosta]

Victor Ng i have one and I don’t have that issue, i suggest you take her to a luthier and check grounding.
