I have that exact model (AZ2204N) and color and I love it. Especially the alt switch and nine available settings. My trem was also set flat and incredibly stiff from factory. I haven't messed with it yet because I use the trem sparingly, but I suppose loosening the screws inside the cavity and perhaps removing one of the springs should do it.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! Mine was too. You can do that until....

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Loose the tension of springs

[@deadstarr7]

i recently got an az 2204f it has different pickups in it, theyre a bit hotter/ more modern i guess. but its a great guitar i love it.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome!

[@riccardopocci73]

Ibanez japan is the best! I still have and play a jem 77FP 1991!❤️

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome!

I was expecting a piano this time with the size of that box and concerned you might take the wall out at launch time. :) Nice looking guitar.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Ha ha! Big box! Thank you!

[@spider5001]

Really nice! 🙂 i never played an Ibanez “S” type

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So awesome!

[@heinzconrads5243]

The guitar sounds great - even just acoustically. I'm really looking foreward to hear it played by you with a one of your great amps!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@WutipongWongsakuldej]

I have a prestige Ibanez AZ as the 'next guitar' since its release! Still rocking an S470 lol. BTW, What's your opinion on their J.Custom line?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome! I don't know those details.

[@MarkFromHawaii]

I’m thinking of getting one in Prussian blue. Also thinking about a Suhr Classic S which is about $1500 more. Any advice Tomo Sensei?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! You need to decide!

[@brownsfan7753]

Love your new guitar!! It sounds very resonant!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much!

Beautiful guitar. I *almost* bought this model!! I got a Jazz master instead and now wish i would have got this instead! Wanna trade?? LOL. Looking forward to hearing you play this and show us the versatility.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much! Yes!

Thanks for sharing your unboxing..your guitar looks great..looking forward to hearing you play your new songs..enjoy..

You're welcome! Looking forward to play & will demo video son!

Very nice guitar, always a good sign when they sound good acoustic, stainless steel frets! Thanks for the video.

Thanks for watching! You're welcome!

Do you like this guitar more than your PRS Silver Sky?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Totally different style guitar!

[@neildelandy4439]

I just got this exact guitar today. Within 5 minutes I fell in love with it. I was shocked how light it felt. Also shocked of how small the body was compared to my fender strat. I’m 5ft 6 so these are all good things for me :). Excellent reach on the higher frets and neck felt great, not too thin and not too thick. Thanks for all the great content! Just discovered your channel when researching guitars.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great to hear! So awesome! Very comfortable indeed! Thank you!

[@andrewjeff]

I’m 5ft 7 with small hands and this comment that was what I wanted to hear

[@timothytaste]

I recently started getting serious with my guitar playing and this has been one of the best channels I've run across - its very enjoyable watching your lessons because it's very apparent you love your job and sharing your experience with others. SUBBED.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@MrBradWi]

There's something nice about the black body and the tortoise shell pickguard. What is the fingerboard? The HSS pickup configuration should provide an abundance of tonal shapes. Premium price for a premium guitar though. Definitely for high quality players. Set that thing up and plug it in!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Rosewood fretboard

[@HarryBall-fw7pv]

I'm very interested in making that my 7th Ibanez. But I'm wondering about tuning stability w/o a locking nut and a trem? Especially compared to my Prestige S6570q and RG5120m's near flawless tuning stability

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Really good! I don't have what you have. Thank you!

[@HarryBall-fw7pv]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I very much like the AZ2204 in hazy rose. With the roasted maple fretboard. I would put the Seymour Duncan Lari Barsilio pickups in it... Thanks so much for the comment back👍 For that, your awesome guitar licks. And your seemingly natural fluidity 🎸 I subscribed!✌️& ♥️

I have recently just thought of getting this type of Ibanez when I can get a new guitar and now you have one. Maybe not the prestige model but I think it's a sign 🧐

plays great, truss adjust should be at the body like other modern guitars in this price range and the neck could be more figured.

please do explain to me, why do people doesn't use tremolo just simply use fixed bridge guitar?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Simply I am not great at. So I have worked on my bending & vibrato more than anyone! Glass is FULL. If I add something, something will spill out! So I keep everything as simple as I can. I limit myself so that I can be good at certain area. Not everything!

My az2402tff didn't come with the Ibanez manual. I bought the only one in stock here in South Africa. But when I got it the Ibanez manual and the Ibanez warranty paper was missing. The store ignores me regarding the issue. Not sure how to get hold of the manual.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You can simply ask Ibanez! They will be happy to provide you one!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You can contact me at [e-mail] and provide your information. As long as you bought it from guitar store. We can fix it.

[@vietnammg]

Tomo sensei is this okay if I play funky guitar without a pick? I'm a fingerstyle guitarist who finds awkward with a pick. I don't even like the muddy dull tone I make with a thick pick when strumming

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Anything you wish as long as you enjoy! All good! But these are choices. 1) Pick 2) Finger Picking 3) Finger Picking and Pick I just don't want people to miss anything. That's all. Pick playing is another art! Very very difficult to control!

[@vietnammg]

@@TomoFujitaMusic thank you master. I now realize how hard it is playing properly with a pick.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@vietnammg You're welcome! Finger picking is so great and pick playing is so awesome too! Anything to master really we'll... it will take more than 10 years!

I wish that there was an hardtail version of this or any HSS strat like guitar with higher specs cuz over the years can't seem to find anything like it.

You could do... buy a AZES31 & AZES40 and swap it!

[@SmoothToast39]

@@TomoFujitaMusic How do you mean "swap it" I always wondered why guitar manufacturers never seem to do hardtail S-style guitars... I think that would sell like crazy because personaly don't use a trem at all if ever.
