Ibanez AZ41B1 Iron Label - Ebony - Black Flat

The Ibanez AZ41B1 is the first AZ model in the metal‑focused Iron Label line, designed to combine the ergonomic AZ platform with a more aggressive, high gain‑ready specification. The American basswood body keeps the guitar lightweight and balanced, while the S‑Tech roasted maple Oval C neck offers stability, a smooth feel and a modern, comfortable profile.

A compound radius ebony fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets gives the AZ41B1 a fast, precise playing surface that suits technical metal styles, extended range riffing and expressive lead work. Luminescent side dots make it easy to see your position on dark stages. The hardware is all black, reinforcing the Iron Label aesthetic and keeping the look focused and purposeful.

The pickup set is a pair of DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers with black covers, mounted in a black matte pickguard. These pickups are voiced for tight low end, clear mids and controlled highs, giving the guitar a strong, defined response under high gain. The F106 fixed bridge, Graph Tech TUSQ nut, angled output jack, knurled metal dome control knobs and Gotoh MG‑T locking tuners complete a hardware package built for stability, tuning integrity and reliable performance.

For players who want an AZ that is unapologetically metal‑focused, with modern playability, fixed bridge stability and a DiMarzio Fusion Edge voice, the AZ41B1 is the core Iron Label AZ model.
