Hello Prof Fujita. Very much enjoying your channel, learning many things as I explore your very enjoyable and informative content. I am getting back into guitar after many years and trying to decide between AZ31 and AZ40 as a first electric. I love many styles of music and like the humbucker of the AZ40, but wary of the floating bridge. Is it stable? Is tuning as good as AZ31? I don't plan on using the tremolo much if at all.

Wow, I didn't know Tomo had a hand in the design of these guitars. But it all makes sense now. When a mature, serious guitarist gives his input, the result is quite good. This is not very cheap for a beginner guitar, but the switching system is genius and worth it. This is a serious guitar at almost beginner price. I think the tremolo is a mistake though, a hardtail hss version would be nice.
