Signature Truth: Andy Timmons and Ibanez Celebrate 25 Years
The ATZ300 ties together 25 years of tonal collaboration between Ibanez and Andy Timmons, pairing elements of signature instruments of the 2000s with the sweeping sonic firepower of his current ATZ lineup. Right out of the gate, this guitar takes a left turn from the ATZ series specs with a lightweight mahogany body — a spec that Andy champions for its “bolder, warmer tone.” Andy’s revered among the 6-string community as a true guitarist’s guitarist, so it’s no surprise that the ATZ300’s 1-piece roasted maple S-Tech neck, AT neck profile, 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, and Gotoh Magnum locking tuners supply top-level performance and stability all around. Under the hood, you get a time-tested triple-threat of Andy’s DiMarzio pickups, capable of conjuring up everything from hard rock to blues to fusion and beyond. It’s all topped off with ATZ special inlays inspired by Andy’s signature models from the 2000s, Luminlay side dots, and an expressive Wilkinson-Gotoh tremolo unit with only four of the screws attached — as per Andy’s request!
S-Tech Wood roasted maple neck offers stability and durability
The ATZ300’s roasted maple neck was subjected to Ibanez’s S-Tech Wood nitrogen-heating treatment, which increases its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. The neck is then sealed with oil, resulting in a well-played feel. And it’s supremely comfortable — its AT shape is just a touch larger than your typical thin Ibanez neck, giving this ultra-high-performance 6-string a more traditional feel in your hands. Andy Timmons is a first-rate musician, and he has impeccable taste — the guitarists here at AJ’s Music & The Music Man love the feel and playability of his signature ATZ300.
DiMarzio pickups serve up tonal versatility
You wouldn’t expect anything less than powerful, rich tone from DiMarzio humbuckers. There are 2 single-coil-sized The Cruiser humbuckers at the neck and middle positions, chosen for their classic single-coil tone and smooth midrange. The Ibanez ATZ300 Andy Timmons is also loaded with a signature model DiMarzio AT-1 humbucker at the bridge. This pickup offers old-school humbucker warmth, balance, and clarity with a little extra punch. Take it from the AJ’s crew – from classic rock to smooth blues to metal and more, the Ibanez ATZ300 Andy Timmons has the tones you need for any gig!
Wilkinson-Gotoh tremolo provides excellent tuning stability
Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the ATZ300’s Wilkinson-Gotoh tremolo is a vintage-style synchronized tremolo with superior tuning stability and enhanced sustain. It includes stamped saddles and a 6-screw design — although, per Andy’s preference, only four of the six screws are installed. Thanks to the ATZ300’s tremolo, executing vibrato, warbles, and other expressive whammy effects is a breeze.
