Rosewood provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.
The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.
The American Basswood body delivers a natural and flat tone.
The Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.
The T1502 tremolo bridge features steel saddles and a die-cast zinc tremolo block for a quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings and its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm.

Seymour Duncan® Hyperion⢠Pickups feature a moderate output through Alnico-5 magnets to keep the clarity of the fundamental tone when using a distortion sound, and to deliver a clear pick attack. From treble to bass, the overall tonal balance is evenly adjusted., and works well with various effect pedals.
A shallow body back contour and a big forearm contour make the guitar body fit the player naturally, thus increasing playing comfort. The AZ body has a deep waist and different radii on each body edge curve, making it easier to play in both standing or sitting positions.
