Hey man ! Love all of your content especially the video quality and recording truly makes this bad boy shine SO I really need your help dude! Specifically for the "Ibanez AZ 224F " you demoed this one beautifully and although it passed the test (- yes it sounded as good as it looked for sure ) BUT I have to know for the money how does it really compare to prestige or other Ibanez model for the features does this one kill it ? This is probably the hardest comparison to make so to speak cause unlike say sterling jp vs ebmm jp6 these have very very few differences the SOUND and FEEL appear to be equal because the roasting is only a smidge different and the hyperion pickup pairing is virtually the same ! (IM after the HSS model one you have here and also deciding between the humbucker model you've also demoed ). Is there really a huge sound difference or difference in whammy bar stability between the premium and prestige ? after all the premium is still gotoh steel does but does your whammy bar hold up with abuse? LASTLY is this neck pickup as good as a fender strat for those strat signature tones and does the 60 cycle hum get in the way alot I've heard it's not noiseless yet yours sound great here so I'm wondering what the verdict off camera from your end is since this single coils sound really hot! Im at that cross road because I want this model but its the one time I dont want to pay for the top shelf prestige AZ cause to me blind test with a premium like yours and I probably would not be able to spot or really feel a difference! Ive only been able to play the AZ 224F very briefly one came through my local store but there was no prestige model to shoot it out against so here I am wondering what your verdict is on this premium not so budget friendly axe. Hope to hear from you soon and im sure a bunch of others too who are struggling between choosing one haha thanks cheers!
Those single coils sound fantastic

For God's sake man, stop faffing about shifting the guitar back on your leg all the time. Nice demo apart from that tho!
