A Fender guy... one day I was in the " candy" store and checked out an Ibanez ASZ prestige and liked it a lot. I had checked out Gibson, PRS, squire and didn't like sny of them. Ibanez was impressive ‼️
Wow, both really nice looking guitars! Normally Id agree either you on the binding for S type guitars, but with all the dark wood and stain on the dragon eye, that binding really adds some great contrast! Do they normally come with SS frets or was that something you put on them later?
Hey great video thanks for sharing ! I do have a question If you dont mind, I have the same issue you mentioned with the criking and the tremolo bar can you please tell me which gotoh part did you order exactly ? in the video you said bushing or something like that. Thanks in advance
Yes! Order a: Gotoh 510 Trem Arm Holder Assembly from: High River Enterprises Ltd #106-60 Orwell St North Vancouver BC V7J 1A5 604-240-6861 yusukekawakami@gmail.com Business Number 745068296 You’ll also need the matching arm which you can order from them or Allparts, etc 👍🏼
The current bridge on the Prestige model is the narrow spaced model, the previous bridge I put on it was the regular 510 and the bushing/arm holder is from the regular 510 - if that what’s you’re asking.
I have those guitars too, but in the opposite finishes. My Premium is the grey finish and my Prestige is the brown burst. Believe it or not, even though my prestige is a better guitar, I play the premium more. The Prestige has better finishing, but its not a night and day difference between the two. I ❤ the thick and flat neck. Super comfy and easy to shred on. I upgraded both of mine with Tremol-no’s so I can change tunings on the fly, without having to worry about the floating bridge. Great comparison! ✌️🎸
Nice review. Have you compared them sound wise? I know you said that they sound almost the same. But is it noticeable? The 1/4 inch maple top of the prestige. If you could do a comparison video would be great!
Joe the AZ2402 is less expensive than the AZ2407F it seems like you can get the same amount of tones, I am leaning towards the AZ2402 do you think I'd regret not getting the AZ2407F....I am sort of a tone nut, I like lots of options but I have a limited pocketbook. I'd rather get the Prestige model since they are made in Japan
@@MarshallAmpMan The 2402 has the Seymour Duncan pickups set. I had this guitar for a week and I could not get a decent sound from those pickups. Apparently, plenty of players like the Duncans, but I disliked them - the DiMarzio pickups in the 2407F sound much better. I personally would recommend the 2407 - big difference in tones (in my opinion). You may like the Duncan’s though!
Wish you would have demoed it with just guitar an amp, no effects and just strum chords so we could hear the tones. I'm thinking of getting one of the Indo ones and would like to have heard it. Our GC doesn't carry these in stock. I am a LP and Strat/Tele player but wanted a different flavor. Been playing for 50 plus years.

They both come with stainless frets 👍🏼

@@riffs66 which model of the gotoh 510 you asked? the regular 510 or ns510?

Hey Joe, Beautiful guitars!👌🎸🎸
Cool guitar with interesting changes
Thank you, sir
I like your mods, if only Ibanez would take note of what you did and consult with you.
Excellent Joe!!!
Thanks 😊
At first look I thought he was Steve Vai....

@@riffs66 Thank you Sir! Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
Hmm i wonder if i could change the suhr modern's gotoh 510 with the one u used. Any idea that it would fit?
It would fit, the studs and spacing of the bridge plate are the same, just the saddles themselves are a slightly narrower spacing 👍🏼
Gotoh® T1502S bridge is the one on the Ibanez - it will drop right into the Suhr.
I‘ve got the Premium AZ47P1 and compared it to the Prestige. Unless the optics are really important to you, the extra price is not worth it.🤘
@@FrankW1988 They are definitely super close and it’s very hard to beat the value of the Premium, for sure. 👍🏼
Indonesia ?
@@WahyuEPNgeRUclips Blue one is from Japan, the other is from Indonesia 👍🏼
@riffs66 betul, Ibanez Indonesia dalam kawasan 1 pabrik dengan gitar merek CORT
