The LM1 is an AZ series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2023. It is the first Ibanez signature model for Italian jazz guitarist Luca Mantovanelli. It is produced in Japan as part of the upscale Prestige line.

The LM1 features an alder body bolted to a one-piece S-Tech roasted maple neck with a compound radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 stainless steel frets, abalone dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include a trio of Seymour Duncan Fortuna single coil pickups mounted in a cream pickguard, a T1702B two-point synchronized tremolo bridge, an oil-impregnated bone nut, an angled output jack, and Gotoh MG-T locking tuning machines.

The AZ2203N is a related model with a different bridge. The AZ2204N is a similar model with a humbucking pickup in the bridge position.
