In 2022, Ibanez introduced the AZ2204NW, a solid body electric guitar in the upscale Prestige series produced by Fujigen in Japan.

The AZ2204NW features an alder body bolted to an S-Tech roasted maple oval C shaped neck with a compound radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 stainless steel frets, mother of pearl dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickups mounted in a red tortoise pickguard with a humbucker at the bridge and single-coils in the neck and middle positions, a T1702B two-point synchronized tremolo bridge, a bone nut, an angled output jack and Gotoh locking tuning machines with height-adjustable posts.
