I'm not familiar with the Ibanez line, so I don't know which guitar belongs to what series, but, to me, the one with the woodgrain top sounded much nicer. It had clearer midrange, better note definition, and a sparkle to the top end that was missing on the sunburst guitar.
So which is which? I felt both guitars were great, the roasted maple one had a slightly higher end ˋvoice‘ to my ears and was more balanced. I‘d pick that one and guess that was the prestige Great session guitar sound imo
The prestige is darker. For fast lead playing with the neck pickup I prefer the premium or 80s rythim. I'd pick the prestige for more heavy bases or solos less shreddy.
Honestly the Premium seems clearer than the Prestige - this has me worried because I just ordered a Prestige like this tobacco sunburst one in your vid only mine will be all white.
The premium doesn't have more upper mids as some are claiming, in my "humble opinion" it is actually missing lower mids and bass instead (could just be that one premium, or could be cost to quality idk)!! Listen to the tracks again, and in isolation you can hear it lacks the fullness on the low end. The prestige is not lacking high mids, but it also has low mids and bass to accompany the high-mids a treble!! These pickups may not be for me. But that prestige is making me want an Ibanez.
Great guitar playing!
Thank you very much.
Both are great but Prestige is another level.
Thank you for your comment.
I own the prestige one and I confirm that it sound as dark as you can guess from this awesome demonstration
thanks for your comment.

Thank you for your comment.
The algorithm did it again, new sub and great video too
Thanks a lot.
I like the premium recorded tone better to be perfectly honest. Chimer
Thank you for your comment.
Dont understand difference between coil tap vs power tap
Power tap is a single coil plus a little bit of signal from another coil.
Nice music!!! Great writing, if it’s yours. Subscribed. Thanks for the demo!
Thanks for your comment. I composed guitar solo on a backing track from youtube.
Lovely playing ! The humbuckers sound lovely !! Which one do u prefer ?
I cannot pick the winner. haha
Is the fretboard more darker in colour in prestige, n m confused which one to go between HSS and HH pickup,
Can u make a video on that
Prestige one doesn't always has more darker fretboard. Sometimes, premium one has more darker fretboard. It depends on each guitar.

The black one (first guitar) is Ibanez premium. (Both guitars have roasted maple neck.)
ฟิวการเล่น กับ งานประกอบ ต่างกันมากไหมครับผม ขอบคุณครับ
ผมว่าตัว japan จะรู้สึกเนี้ยบกว่า แต่ว่าไม่เยอะครับ
@@hut-rati ขอบคุณครับผม
ส่วนตัวผมชอบเสียงตัว Prestige เสียงคลีนอุ่นกว่า แต่พอเสียงแตกจะออกกลมๆและชัดเป็นเม็ดกว่า ส่วน Premium เสียงจะพุ่งกว่า ถ้ามีตังจะซื้อตัว AZ2402 แบบไม่ต้องคิดเลย
@@tnn7125 ขอบคุณครับ
Can we do open tunings like dadgad Or open g in ibanez az series?
Of course, you can.
Hey really nice playing! How do you think the fret work on these two compare?
Thank you. I think they have no difference.
Great tones and playing, thank you!
Do you think these pickups sound great with some gain for things like progressive rock/metal?
I think they are.
Are the premiums on level with the prestige on matter of build quality?
Prestige is a bit better on build quality.
Great playing, man! What was the first tune you played? I especially like that arpeggiated thing with the tapping you did at the end of it.
Thank you! For the first sound example, I composed solo over a backing track, it's not a tune.
The prestige is darker. For fast lead playing with the neck pickup I prefer the premium or 80s rythim. I'd pick the prestige for more heavy bases or solos less shreddy.
Thank you for your comment.
Which one u like more
I like both of them.
nice playing bro. which one is better prestige or premium?
Thank you. I think they are both great.
Honestly the Premium seems clearer than the Prestige - this has me worried because I just ordered a Prestige like this tobacco sunburst one in your vid only mine will be all white.
Don't worry, you can adjust the sound as clear as you want.
Ahaha I own the Prestige and I think the Premium sounds a little better!! Darn it!!
Wanna swap? xD I have this very model. (Epresso burst)
I will swap mine too for a prestige haha
nice play.
Thank you.
Why does the premium sounded better to be perfectly honest!!!!
Great comparison and composition by the way
Thank for your comment.
My guitar ibanez az just Custom 😁
👍👍👍
do you feel any difference in feel at all?
I don't feel much difference.
