Ibanez positioned the AZ2204HRM within the AZ Prestige Series, a line built to tighter tolerances and higher-specification components than the standard AZ range. The AZ Prestige Series represented Ibanez's upper tier of production electrics, intended for players who required consistent, workshop-quality execution.
The guitar was built around an alder body paired with a roasted maple neck — processed via Ibanez's S-TECH WOOD treatment — shaped to the AZ Oval C profile. The roasted maple fretboard carries black dot inlays and a 305mm radius, with jumbo stainless steel frets across the board. Nut width is 42mm, widening to 56.4mm at the 22nd fret; neck thickness runs 20.5mm at the first fret and 22.5mm at the twelfth. String spacing at the bridge is 10.5mm. The Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge handles pitch shifting duties, finished in chrome alongside the remaining hardware. The pickup complement is a full Seymour Duncan Hyperion set — passive Alnico single-coils at the neck and middle positions and a passive Alnico humbucker at the bridge — providing the HSS configuration common to the AZ Prestige layout. The bone nut completes the specification. Scale length is 648mm (25.5 inches).
Owners sourcing replacement parts — tremolo components, Hyperion pickup covers, or bone nut blanks — should verify dimensions against the Gotoh T1802 specification sheet and the measurements above before ordering. A qualified guitar technician or luthier can confirm compatibility and handle setup adjustments, particularly for the stainless steel frets, which require carbide tooling for any fretwork.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
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.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
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.
What do you know about this one?
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.
