Ibanez ATZ300 Black

Ibanez ATZ300 Andy Timmons 25th Annivesary Signature model Black. Made in Japan.

The ATZ300 is the new signature model of the legendary guitarist Andy Timmons based on the successful AZ series. The AZT has a slightly narrower string spacing than the regular AZ, but otherwise a similar neck profile.

S-TECH neck profile

A 1-piece Prestige neck in S-TECH treated maple. S-TECH is nitrogen-heating-treatment of wood and is a further development of what is usually called roasted/baked wood. Which in Swedish in short means that the wood undergoes a heat treatment in a nitrogen-filled heating process to remove water and resin from the wood. This makes the wood light, stable, durable and completely unaffected by changes in humidity.

The wood also becomes waterproof and therefore does not need to be varnished. These properties make the neck extremely resonant, low physical weight and with lots of singing sustain (the same properties that really good, old, wood can sometimes have). A clear sound with unmatched note separation. The guitar sings in a completely different way than the corresponding untreated wood and is several hundred times more stable. The neck is finally treated with oil which gives the guitar a well-recorded wooden feel, forget about rocky varnish to stick to.
