Key Features
Product Ref: 104693
The Ibanez AVD60 features a thermo aged solid AA adirondack spruce top, which produces more of a dynamic range than sitka spruce; enabling players to drive the soundboard with an aggressive attack without distortion. Furthermore, the AVD60's solid top produces a richly sweet mid-range with superb levels of volume. Adirondack spruce makes each note incredibly sweet, and paired with solid mahogany back and sides, players can appreciate the incredibly sonically pleasing tone produced. With solid mahogany back and sides the Ibanez AVD60 produces a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles.
Ibanez uses a special process that involves each piece of tonewood being heated in a vacuum in order 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 dried for decades. Thermo-aged wood delivers a spectacular response and a louder sound, along with a full-bodied low-end, and a smooth sustain in the treble strings, which are common characteristics of vintage guitars.
Constructed from mahogany, the neck offers warmth and added resonance, and also provides a quick response. Mahogany is commonly used to craft guitar necks, as the wood's natural character enables it to respond greatly well to numerous genres and techniques. In addition, the neck features a V-shaped profile, providing a comfortable playing experience and a better grip for players of all styles. The neck is topped with a maple fingerboard which adds a bright sustained tone to the overall sound. Furthermore, the fingerboard is sprinkled with abalone dot inlays for added elegance.
The Ibanez AVD60 features a traditional dreadnought body, which projects an enormous voice, yet still maintains overall tonal balance. With superb volume and projection, the AVD60 is ideal for a wide range of genres and playing styles, from aggressive strumming to flat picking styles. Furthermore, the sheer volume the AVD60 can project makes it an ideal vocal accompaniment for acoustic jams and performances.
The AVD60 Artwood Vintage features thermo aged X bracing which delivers superb volume and an enormous frequency range. X bracing also prevents the guitar from collapsing under string tension and provides a stable and durable construction.
Unlike standard bridge pins, the AVD60 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, for a reliable performance.
