Seriously i was looking for this “can az do metal”.....🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿♥️♥️👍👍 thanks broo👍

[@arvindP2025]

Great play!

I'm thinking of getting the Ibanez AZ HSS with hyperion pickups and a 9 way switch selector. It's crazy. Very versatile. Yours is a very nice HH AZ model. Beautiful colour, and you play amazing. I'm jealous. You have 230 subs, but I'm surprised you don't have at least 230K

Thats the kind of demo Im expecting to see when do search for guitar demos

[@fishstickkitty8068]

Well you definitely answered that question...very nice!!!

[@shreducator1648]

Thank you mate :) Glad you liked it

[@jacobehlers]

Superb playing mate!

[@atarijam]

Is the neck comfortable for shredding though?

[@Aalii6]

Great demo, exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
What do you think about the input jack placement and angle when playing the guitar on your left leg with a footstool? Is it bothersome?

[@shreducator1648]

Hey mate! This is exactly what I am doing: Playing with my leg leg on a footstool. It is working good, did not face any issues that would somehow disturb me playing

[@phborjesson8156]

I just bought myself an AZ to!
My first impressions are very positive and I like the pickups a lot for most of the stuff I play.
BUT... I have problems with getting a good 80's palm muted thrash sound out of it. The overall sound is a bit... Loose?
Do you have any recommendations regarding pickup height? Mine are at factory specs I think (2mm at bridge).
Or is it just a matter of EQ settings?
At least it sounds good when you're playing! 👍

[@istillsuckatguitar]

Are you using gain on TS or just volume/boost? It the HK a solid state like Tony MacAlpine uses now or is it a tube head. Thanks. I am trying to figure out my sound. Cheers.

[@shreducator1648]

Hey mate, yes more or less as a boost. Gain to zero, full volume, full tone. The HK Black Spirit is a Solid state amp BUT it has a fully analog tone generator and the awesome sagging knob which allows you to set up the amount of saturation. You can make it sound like a tube amp! Such an awesome amp, can absolutely recommend it!

@@shreducator1648 Thanks.

[@shawndraco6047]

Only metal guy I know using AZs is Blake from counterparts but I think he has fishmans in his guitars.
