I'd say that it sounds a bit like his earlier work, such as "Bust a Soda" in the first EarXtasy or some of the songs from the Resolution CD which release show was done with the AT300. Definitively, for someone who likes Andy, you recognize some of his signature tones. Personally, I always go back to his earlier work, when he was not yet known as he is today. For example, Groove or Die... which he never plays any longer....
Used to owned the AT300.. The AT300 doesnt sound like IBanez at all.. It's like Fender on steroid in terms of sound and neck.. Really amazing guitar.. If you wondering how it is sounds like, just listen to Andy's Resolution Album..
Who does he think he is....Steve Vai? 🤣 Hehe, AT is fantastic, nice looking new fiddle. If you are a fan, I highly recommend the "that pedal show" one with him about 2 years ago. He's about as knowledgable as they get. Seems like a doll of a guy too!
He really is. Awesome guy in person. A lot of the time I think is probably better not to meet your heroes and see how they really are but in this case there's no worries at all He's totally cool
@@racerx3065 Most of the recent signatures are sunburst. They probably wanted to do something different. If I am not wrong, Andy said this was in homage to Blackie, Eric Clapton's black stratocaster. Indeed Andy Timmons continues to play his first prototype as his main guitar.
@@racerx3065 I personally would have preferred to have all the hardware black too. Such as the Wilkinson tremolo and the tuners. I think it would have really taken the black meaning to a different level. If you are really partial about natural looking, you may want to look for an AT300 which has that violin mahogany look. I kind of prefer to see the wood grain too. My own AT300 is not as pretty looking as that of Andy's. He obviously benefited from book matched halves. Also, the ATZ neck/finger board is slightly wider than the original ATs. It helps with the E1. There is one major difference though. On both the AT100SB and AT300, the electronics have the two volume arrangement, which was an Andy Timmons trademark in the early days. The new signature issues, starting from the AT100CL went back to the traditional volume, tone, tone. I like to have the two volumes.
It is not, but by experience, this model will probably have one run. Similar to the AT300 and AT200. The only limited edition is the first ever signature Andy Timmons, manufactured to 150 pieces in 1999. I have one of those. I also have one of the AT300. I prefer the AT300 to the AT100SB because of the mahogany body and darker tone.
@@marconowajewski2133 At US$ 3500, it is expensive, unfortunately. You may want to wait a bit to see if early disappointment may result in preowned resale; although resellers are sometimes asking more than the price of new....
@@marconowajewski2133 I have a base in Argentina. Which has been pretty bad for any import outside of the Mercosur. I set camp there in 2003, and saw the situation degrade more and more to what it is today. Unless you are filthy rich, you are obligated to buy local brands. This is the sad truth of many Latin American countries. I think Chile is slightly better though. The principle remains the same. If you know of someone that lives in the USA and often commute to Chile you may be able to strike a deal. I have been an expatriate all my life, and I always had requests to bring stuff from abroad in the countries I worked. It is more complicated now, because the airlines are just charging for everything, but it is still possible. The other possibility, is to order from one of your guitar store that sells Ibanez guitars. Of course.
Expensive everywhere.... unfortunately.... but yes, Brazil with the high taxes even more. I give you a tip to get it for less. Perhaps you know someone in the USA? have him/her purchase the guitar, and bring it to you. He/she obviously needs to be a foreigner, not a Brazilian citizen. As a visitor, you don't pay tax or duty on your personnel belongings, as one would expect. I personally always travel with my guitar everywhere I go. Before the airlines started to charge for luggage, my guitar always travelled in a rugged flight case. My company has a research center in Rio. I was on a rotation schedule, so I would travel in and out at regular intervals. Being a foreigner, I never had any trouble getting in or out with my guitar. Today, it is much more complicated, and I only travel with a headless which can fit in the cabin overhead baggage compartment.
Why don't they make the neck with 24 frets? you can't play the tapping section of "cry for you" without 24 frets... actually why don't they make all the guitars with 24 frets????
I got a feeling the brand ambassadors (Timmons, Miller, Quayle,) receive signatures made with “extra love” and are probably USA made models they demo, but we think we are buying what they are playing when ours are lesser quality made in Japan. Yes Japanese make higher quality things like cars, but their guitars are NOT higher quality. I kept my HSS Japanese AZ a week and realized the pickups were so brittle sounding and the neck was dry and fought me. And they’re obviously in bed with Laney since “coincidentally” theyre always demoed hand in hand in most of the various brand ambassadors videos (except Timmons who usually uses Mesa, but the other big guys are always Laney). Japanese isn’t always better, its why Fender Japan are cheaper yet compensate with fantastic artwork. A USA of the same artwork would cost much more due to the quality, not just the aesthetic. Dont be in denial thinking Japanese is always better. I will always buy Japanese cars, but NOT their guitars. The guys they pay to demo their guitars could make anything sound good, so dont let that fool you.
USA made ain't always better. Just look at the EVH Wolfgang MIJ vs made in USA. They are equal. But the USA model is about 2k more expensive. I have played several Gibson Les Paul's and compared it to Eastman from China, many times I thought the Eastman won. I have played Gibson Custom Shop guitars with fret issues, bridge issues, nut issues. Heritage H-150 that felt lifeless, also made in USA. Then we have USA made Ernie Ball Music Man which never fails to impress. And Japan ain't always better either. I have looked at two Ibanez PIA with finish issues. The guitar was fantastic but finish issues should have never been sent out of the factory. I played a EVH Frankie (modded strat) made in Mexico that blew my mind, and played USA made Fender Stratocaster that felt underwhelming, and a Telecaster with bridge issues. I also recently got an EVH SA-126 which also blew my mind, made in Mexico, but I have also played 4 EVH Wolfgangs made in Mexico with various issues like major fret sprout, the EVH D-Tuna would require modding with a drill bit on some of these, some finish issues, and then I found one that was perfect. I think guitar players should stop thinking that the country matters as much as they currently think. You can get a high quality guitar from any of these countries and you can get a bad quality guitar from any of these countries.
I was kinda hoping it was a video of Andy explaining what makes this a $3500.00 AZ I bet it’s because they removed the back plate that’s gotta be a thousand dollar mod right there! 🫨

Amazing tone, and the new guitar looks amazing! The song sounds like a part 2 of "Beautiful, Strange"

Andy is so awesome! And this guitar looks and sounds amazing too!
Wicked guitar and the best of the best, Andy.
Two treats in one. An amazing new song and an amazing new guitar. And thAT is something Andy’s fans can rely on.
What a cool tune and great playing, nice!
Beautiful axe ... Fitting and well deserved for such a Killer player ...
Andy Timmons is another level...
What a Tone!!!
Beautiful guitar ❤❤❤
Great guitar model ..sounds ....oh wow... amazing...
Fantastic sound, incredible instrument, amazing performance.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He is called *The King of Tone* for a reason.
Leslie West was also given that moniker. They both deserve the title. Doesn't get much better in regards to tone
Tone is stored in the monarchy
Just.. WOW! 🔥
This model looks amazing! And this song is so so good.
That looks and sounds awesome.
Cool man!
See just great playing makes everything better.
Such a great color combo....classic. The inlays look great and she sounds killer!!!!!!!!
black, black ,and black?
Awesome looking and sounding guitar. Oh Yes Please! 🎸🎸🎸
that's so cool 👏
beautiful
I wish Ibanez would re-release the white AT model, that they made some years ago.
Great Tone, Andy is the best.
Just WOW! Love it all ❤🕊️👏🌹
Cool riff
Super duper tone.
It's a beast
⭐⭐⭐all this is very cool🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Ibanez👍🇧🇷

I want one!!
That is an absolutely beautiful instrument - five springs in the trem as stock?
That tune reminds me of Uli for some reason.....
Perfekt👌🏻🎸🎸🎸👌🏻
I've been at Andy's masterclass in 2019 I think. Crazy player. But imo previous signature's look a lot cooler
Nothing but great stuff from Andy.
🙌🏼
Bella/Linda.🙏✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️👑
@ibanez please bring back the zero point system, it was my favorite floyd rose system
🤘🤩
Can we get the SZ line back pretty please?

Those inlays are 🔥🔥🔥. Andy is the best!
White pickups would give more of a tuxedo vibe
song please.
这曲子也太好听了
❤
Am I the only one who's hearing some Gates Of Babylon in this track?
So cool. Now make a Jack Gardiner signature please
Just buy an AZ
Another strat
Love the inlays, please make this in a colour similar to the original AT300!
Those times are gone. This is why the new model is in black. Evolution?

I hear you bro. It’s expensive here in the U.S. too. Videos is as close as I will get to one. 😢
Not stainless?
im cooming
The price on these are absolutely ourageous. 1,000 bucks more than all the signature models? Nah, beautiful guitar but hard pass for that price
Get more money bruh
미쳤다ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
This is like an evil version of Andy. "Dark Andy"
the inlays need to be more fancy
Why don't they make the neck with 24 frets? you can't play the tapping section of "cry for you" without 24 frets... actually why don't they make all the guitars with 24 frets????
Dream guitar but 😢
what a great idea to wear a black shirt for a black guitar presentation...
Metal Slug X?🗿
The inlay is so tacky...
