Ibanez introduced the AZES31 as part of the AZ series solid-body electric guitar model in 2021. The AZES31 features a poplar body and has a maple neck with a Jatoba fingerboard. Its 25-inch scale length is ½" shorter than the models of the sister AZ series, which Ibanez says could be ideal for young learners. Pickups include a trio of Ibanez Essentials ceramic single coils, routed to Strat-style controls. With the Alter switch turned on, you get access to series-connected voices and more.
