Description

Ibanez built the AZ2202ATFB as part of the AZ Prestige Series, positioning it in the upper tier of their AZ line. The Prestige designation placed it among Ibanez's more carefully finished production guitars, distinguished by the Prestige fret edge treatment applied at the factory.

The guitar was constructed with an ash body and an AZ Oval C profile neck in S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple, paired with a Roasted Maple fretboard carrying black dot inlays. Twenty-two jumbo stainless steel frets span a 648mm (25.5") scale over a 305mm radius board. The nut is bone, cut to 42mm width, widening to 56.4mm at the 22nd fret; neck thickness measures 20.5mm at the first fret and 22.5mm at the twelfth. Electronics consist of a pair of Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers — passive, Alnico-loaded — wired to a chrome hardware complement that also includes the Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge set at 10.5mm string spacing. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL110s (.010–.046) in standard E tuning.

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Gotoh T1802 tremolo, bone nut, and Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups are all independently available components; a qualified guitar technician can advise on compatible substitutes and correct setup dimensions for this neck profile and radius.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
