Ibanez AMV10A Artcore Vintage Tobacco Burst Low Gloss

Allmänt

Besides offering excellent electric guitars, Ibanez also knows a thing or two about hollow-bodies with a remarkable price-to-quality ratio. Take the Artcore Vintage series, for instance, which offers great value for money, as well as a gorgeous artificially aged look. The AMW10A in Tobacco Low Burst has a fantastic retro sound to match its weathered and worn look. With the Classic Elite humbuckers, this Ibanez offers a broad, classic sound with prominent bass and bright trebles.

AMV10A: wood types and hardware

As such, the Artcore is excellently suited to various genres, like jazz, blues, soul and rock music. This vintage-style guitar offers a well-defined acoustic base sound: focused, with a nicely rounded bright touch to it, and creamy sustain in the lower frequencies. That sound is a direct result of the tried-and-tested combination of a maple body, a mahogany neck and a rosewood fretboard. The ART-1 bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece also have a hand in creating this sound, and they help make string changes much easier and improve the guitar's tuning stability.

Artcore Vintage

More and more guitarists are looking for vintage instruments that show the fact that they've lived a long and hard life. Usually both the actual vintage guitars and the new, artificially reliced models are quite expensive. Enter: the Ibanez Artcore Vintage series. This series consists of semi-acoustic guitars that are artificially aged to get that popular vintage look, but they're much more affordable!
