Description

Ibanez built the AZ2402BKF as part of the AZ Prestige Series, positioning it toward players who demanded tighter tolerances and higher-grade components than the standard production line offered. The Prestige designation placed it at the upper tier of Ibanez's electric guitar range.

The guitar was constructed with an alder body and an AZ Oval C profile neck fashioned from S-TECH WOOD roasted maple, paired with a roasted maple fretboard carrying black dot inlays. Twenty-four jumbo stainless steel frets sat across a 305mm radius board, with a 648mm (25.5") scale length. Nut width measured 42mm, widening to 57mm at the 24th fret, with neck thickness running 20.5mm at the first fret and 22.5mm at the twelfth. Electronics consisted of a Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbucker at the neck and a matching Hyperion humbucker at the bridge, both passive Alnico designs. Vibrato was handled by a Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge with 10.5mm string spacing, finished in chrome alongside all other hardware. The instrument shipped in Black Flat.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly frets, nut stock, or tremolo components — should verify compatibility against the specifications above and consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier for installation and setup work.

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.

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.
