Description
New AZ Premium SSH layout, the standard model for the new generation of guitarists
New SSH pickup layout model with beautifully grained quilted maple body top, bright blue-green burst finish, and white binding for a contoured impression.
Gotoh MG-T locking machine head
Roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard
The neck is made of heat-treated maple. The heat treatment provides shape stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes.
After several prototypes and verifications, we concluded that 20.5*22.5 (at1F*12F) was the best neck thickness.
The back of the neck is finished with a satin finish to ensure smooth playing comfort.
The fretboard is made of rosewood, which is known for its tenacious and mild mid-range sound.
Oval C” neck shape, exclusive to AZ
Super All Access neck joint and specially designed body contour
Stainless steel frets
Hyperion pickups co-developed with Seymour Duncan
We obtained more than dozens of pickups and measured their frequency response. We then determined the specifications and sound image of the pickups that we thought would be most suitable for AZ, and developed these pickups in collaboration with Seymour Duncan, a company with a long history as a pickup brand and one that continues to make new efforts even today. This is a pickup for AZ.
This is a custom pickup with a low output to keep the cleanness of the original sound even when distorted, and with a focus on the followability and reproducibility of the picking.
