Ibanez Hazuki HZK1 (Japan) - blue

The IBANEZ Signature Hazuki HZK1 solid body electric guitar is the signature model of the guitarist from the Japanese bands Nemophila and Koiai. An excellent musician in every sense of the word, she cites Arch Enemy and Children of Bodom among her greatest influences. Her style combines contemporary metal riffing with inspired melodic leads, all delivered with evident virtuosity.
As an official Ibanez artist, she has long played Ibanez J.Custom models, notably the RG8527Z, RG8527 Custom, and RG8020G. The “seven-string” feature plays a significant role in Hazuki’s sound.

The Ibanez Hazuki HZK1 Signature is therefore a seven-string guitar with a standard scale length (25.5").
Its construction combines an alder body (accented by a spalted maple top), a bolt-on maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard (set with 24 frets). This design produces a balanced and consistent acoustic foundation—dense and responsive—with thick, punchy lows, prominent mids, and dynamic, clear highs.

As comfortable as Ibanez guitars generally are, the HZK1 is equally versatile thanks to its pair of Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker Ceramic active humbucking pickups.
Thanks to the push-pull knob, you can access two distinct voicings for a total of about ten sound options.
The precision and reliability of the Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge vibrato are well-established.

The Ibanez Signature Hazuki is a prestigious guitar that will appeal to all fans of contemporary metal. Details such as its stainless steel frets, Luminlay phosphorescent/luminescent side fret markers, and Gotoh tuning machines further underscore its level of excellence.
