Ibanez has revealed a new range of Premium and Standard AZ models, Weathered Black Q series guitars, classic S and RG additions and contemporary nylon string acoustics – with electrics available in Australia now.

Japanese manufacturer Ibanez has unveiled a broad new wave of guitars spanning updated AZ Premium and Standard models, a Weathered Black Q series, classic S and RG additions and a fresh run of contemporary nylon string acoustics.

Catch up on all the latest news here.

Leading the electric range are three new AZ models. The AZ41P1EW arrives in Natural Grey Burst, the AZ41P1PB in Transparent Grey Burst and the AZ447P1QM in a striking Cosmic Blue, and all sit within the Premium tier. The AZ lineup has built a strong following among players who want modern playability with a familiar Ibanez feel, and these additions continue that thread. Also joining the electric range are the AZ22S1F in Violin Sunburst and the AZ41B1 in Black Flat.

The Q series gets a Weathered Black treatment across two models – the QX52B and QX527B – a finish that suits the headless, modern aesthetic of the range well. Rounding out the electrics are the RGR431PB in Charcoal Grey Flat and the S721RB in Black, keeping the classic S and RG silhouettes well represented.

On the acoustic side, Ibanez is expanding its nylon string offering with several new GA series models. The GA380CE and GA360TCE both arrive in Natural High Gloss, with the GA360TCE also available in Transparent Black High Gloss. Broader 8-string options come via the GA3008CE and 7-string GA3007CE, both in Natural High Gloss – a thoughtful nod to players looking for extended range in a classical format.
