Fans of the original AZ will immediately appreciate the neck, which maintains the same oval c shape and 12” radius, delivering smooth ergonomic comfort and quick, agile playability. Consistency of tone is another critical aspect of the AZS. Within the series are tremolo and hardtail designs, but unlike other tremolo versions in this body style, both AZS models utilize a metal mounting plate for the bridge pickup preserving the quintessential clear, fat, and twangy tones for which this type of guitar is known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The S-TECH special roasted treatment increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.

Additionally, the saddles are designed with pre-calculated “intonation points” where the string touches the saddle, allowing each string to have and maintain precise intonation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings. The saddles themselves are made of titanium for maximum tonal clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOil-impregnated Bone nut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Oil-impregnated bone nut provides superior tuning stability and warm rich resonance.
