Built for technical performance

The HZK1 centres around Ibanez's acclaimed Wizard 5-piece maple and wenge neck, a design renowned for its thin profile, strength, and exceptional speed. Combined with a 25.5" scale length and a comfortably contoured bolt-on construction, it delivers effortless navigation across the entire fretboard. The bound rosewood fingerboard features a flat 430 mm radius and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, creating a playing surface that feels equally comfortable for aggressive riffing, intricate chord voicings, and fluid lead work. Prestige fret edge treatment further enhances comfort by ensuring every fret feels perfectly finished and smooth.

Versatile Fishman Fluence power

A pair of Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbuckers provide the HZK1 with its formidable tonal range. These advanced pickups deliver the aggressive attack, tight low end, and articulate response demanded by modern metal players while remaining remarkably quiet. Using the push/pull voicing switch integrated into the volume control, players can instantly access an alternative voice that offers a cleaner, more fluid character. This flexibility allows the HZK1 to move effortlessly between crushing high-gain, articulate clean passages, and expressive lead tones without compromising clarity or output.

Premium hardware throughout

The legendary Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo remains one of the most respected double-locking systems ever produced. Its low-profile design enhances playing comfort while providing exceptional tuning stability, even during the most extreme pitch manipulation. Locking hardware and precision-engineered components ensure dependable performance under demanding conditions. Gotoh machine heads further enhance tuning accuracy with their smooth operation and precise feel, creating a professional-grade platform that performs consistently whether you're recording or playing live.

Prestige craftsmanship and striking aesthetics

The beautifully figured spalted maple top gives the HZK1 a distinctive visual identity while complementing the balanced tonal response of the alder body beneath. Luminlay side dots provide clear fret position visibility on dark stages, making navigation easier during live performances. Every aspect of the instrument reflects the attention to detail associated with Japanese-built Ibanez models, from the flawless fretwork to the carefully selected tonewoods and premium finishing. Supplied with an Ibanez hardshell case, the HZK1 offers the protection and quality expected from a flagship-level signature instrument.
