2026 Ibanez AZES40 3-tone Sunburst
Designed in collaboration with Berklee College of Music professor, Ibanez artist, and YouTube guitar instructor Tomo Fujita, the Ibanez AZES40 sets a new standard for highly accessible instruments by offering stage-ready playability for students and gigging professionals alike. It all starts with a lightweight poplar body, paired with the trademark snap and sustain of a maple neck and the silky-smooth playability of a jatoba fingerboard. Guitar instructors and gigging guitarists agree: the AZES40’s Accord and Essentials pickups and dyna-MIX9 switching system deliver a sonic array of musical possibilities, from hard rock to blues and jazz to country music and beyond. From beginning students to seasoned pros, the AZES40 establishes a solid foundation for years of musical growth.
