The AZES31-IV is a fantastic entry point into the Ibanez world, especially for students or players who prefer a shorter scale. It's surprisingly versatile thanks to the Dyna-MIX8 system, and the neck profile is a real winner for comfortable playing. A budget-friendly option that delivers a lot of quality for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions
The system utilizes a coil-splitting function, effectively turning the pickups into single-coils for a brighter, more transparent tone, or combining them for a thicker, more powerful sound.
While playable for larger hands, the shorter scale does mean the frets are closer together; experienced players might find it slightly less comfortable for fast, wide stretches.
The AZES profile is noticeably thinner and flatter than the Wizard, offering a more modern, comfortable feel that's less substantial in the hand.
