DISC Ibanez AVD10E Artwood Vintage Acoustic, Natural High Gloss

Full Description

Solid Sitka Spruce Top & Solid Mahogany Construction

The Ibanez AVD10E features a Thermo Aged solid sitka spruce top which produces an excellent frequency range and a nuanced response. The AVD10E's solid top produces a richly sweet mid-range with superb levels of volume and is ideal for conveying every nuance of your playing with complexity and depth. The Thermo Aged solid mahogany back with spruce bracing helps to add tonal warmth, while the combined tonewood strength contributes to a full-sounding projection with a wide-open sound.

Thermo Aged Tonewoods

Ibanez uses a special process whereby every piece of wood is heated in a vacuum to release water and decompose any resin contained within the wood. This process results in a light, hard, and stable wood; just like a tonewood that has naturally dried for decades. Thermo-Aged wood delivers a spectacular response and a louder sound. It also creates a full-bodied low-end and a smooth sustain in the treble strings, which are the common characteristics of vintage guitars that have aged naturally through years of playing.

Mahogany Neck & Maple Fingerboard

The mahogany neck delivers enhanced warmth and resonance. It features a Soft-V profile which mimics vintage guitars for a comfortable and authentic feel. The cultured maple fingerboard provides additional sustain, along with a dark aesthetic reminiscent of rosewood or ebony. Specially-designed mother of pearl inlays help to complete the AVD10E's vintage aesthetic, giving you an instrument with a decades-old appearance in every regard.

Dreadnought Body

The Ibanez AVD10E features a traditional dreadnought body which projects an enormous voice yet still maintains overall tonal balance. With superb volume and projection, the AVD10E is ideal for a wide range of genres and playing styles, from aggressive strumming to flat picking styles. Furthermore, the sheer volume of the dreadnought shape, in combination with the enhanced Thermo Aged tonewoods, makes the AVD10E ideal guitar to accompany vocals for acoustic jams and live performances.

Thermo Aged X Bracing

The AVD10E Artwood Vintage features Thermo Aged X bracing which delivers superb volume and an enormous frequency range. X bracing also enhances the top wood's tonal nuance, helping it to respond to every dynamic of your playing.

Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins

Unlike standard bridge pins, the AVD10E Artwood Vintage 2018 features advantage bridge pins that are easier to take out and easier to put in. Each pin features a bulb shaped end, which is not only easy to grip but also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far.
