"ROSCOE"

One of four AZ’s in the LA Custom Shop lineup, this instrument combines the best elements of the standard production AZ’s with the skill and attention to detail afforded by the LA build team. Fans of our Prestige and Premium AZ’s will appreciate the inclusion of an HSS set of Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups and the dyna-MIX9 switching system. A Mahogany body and Rosewood fretboard combination provide a warm but versatile voice that provides a synergistic pairing with the electronics. Topping off the custom highlights of this guitar is a stunning Quilted Maple top with a rich and luxurious Amber Gloss finish. The Amber finish delivers such warm notes in fact, that the LA team opted for the nickname Roscoe, which is a famous restaurant in the LA area known for their chicken and waffles, which is always served with amber brown maple syrup. Finally, the top, finish, and tortoise shell-style pickguard, deliver the perfect balance of traditional style and contemporary flare.

THE OPTIMAL IBANEZ NECK-THRU

Unique even among this startling collection, this instrument is one of only four neck-thru AZ’s currently in production. The LA Custom Shop believed that by combined a neck-thru design with an already very comfortable Super All Access neck joint, they would have an instrument with unrivaled comfort and higher fret access; they were 100% right!

A WARM AMBER GLOW

A beautiful and effective complement to the Quilted Maple, the choice of an Amber Gloss finish provides the ideal level of accent and enhancement, without overpowering the natural aesthetics and complex figuring of the top wood.

NATURAL BALANCE

The back of this guitar is finished a gloss black intersected by a clear gloss applied to the center block of the body. This allows the instrument to display a modern, two-tone appearance between the front and back, while also allowing for full view and appreciation of the three-piece neck-thru construction.
