Ibanez Iron Label Series AZ41B1-BKF Black Flat #687

Carrying this ethos forward, the AZ line embodies time-tested Ibanez innovation and player-focused features like a smooth, oval neck grip, a well-balanced asymmetrical body shape, and the neck heel allowing for unrivaled playability.

The Iron Label line was originally developed with metal and nothing but metal in mind. We modded and tweaked until we got to the heaviest-hitting metal axes we’ve ever built. They’re purposefully spartan, and you won’t find a feature here that doesn’t contribute directly to a bone rattling, earth shattering tones these guitars pump out. Carrying forward that same philosophy, the next generation of Iron Label guitars take this raw metal energy to a completely new level. They sport totally blacked out looks, and their supercharged electronics amounting to some of the heaviest-swinging metal axes we’ve ever produced.

F106 bridge

The F106 bridge enriches sustain. String height adjustment can be done easily and independently.

Ebony fretboard

Ebony produces tight lows and mid range with a strong attack in the high end and features a quick response and rich sustain.

DiMarzio® Fusion Edge Pickups

Through close collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio® Fusion Edge pickups have been engineered to produce a powerful, distinctive tone with a crisp, cutting high end, and a tight, compressed bottom end, minus any muddy mid-range.

Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads

The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.

American Basswood body

The American Basswood body delivers a natural and flat tone.

Oval C Roasted Maple neck

Heat-treatment increases the wood’s stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.

dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch

The dyna-MIX 10 offers ten sound variations and can easily switch from humbucker and single coil modes with the mini switch. The power Tap mode provides a realistic single coil sound despite its two humbucker pickup layout.

Ergonomic rear body contour

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.

Super All Access Neck Joint

The Super All Access Neck Joint increases playability and allows for easy access to the higher frets.
