Founded in 1935 as Hoshino’s Spanish-style guitar division, Ibanez began garnering a reputation by the 1980s in the U.S. for its shred-ready appointments, like fast, skinny necks, high-output humbuckers, deep cutaways, and locking tremolo systems—all of which quickly made Ibanez one of the most popular brands among modern guitarists.
Carrying this ethos forward, new additions from the AZ line at CME embody 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.
