Ibanez AVC11 Artwood Vintage Grand Concert Acoustic, Antique Natural Semi-Gloss Overview
Ibanez AVC11 Artwood Vintage Grand Concert Acoustic, Antique Natural Semi-Gloss
For many years, Ibanez have been well-known for their ground-breaking electric and hollow-body guitars, but they also make stunning acoustics that push the boundaries of design, build and value. The AVC11 is no exception to this.
As a guitar from the Vintage Thermo Aged line, the incredible mahogany and spruce tonewoods that give the AVC11 its gorgeous tones are very carefully 'baked' with a thermal treatment that artifically ages the woods, bringing out the richer, more articulate tones that you would normally only associate with a guitar that had been played for years. This allows the guitar to deliver, from brand new, the amazing vintage tones so many of us covet in an acoustic instrument.
Combine the above with high-end appointments such as bone nut and saddle and Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins and in the AVC11, you have a guitar that sounds stunning and plays beautifully at a price that's well below what you would expect for an instrument of this quality.
Thermo Aged™ Solid Top and Spruce X Bracing
Thermo Aged™ Solid top w/Thermo Aged™Spruce X bracing delivers ample volume and an enormous frequency range.
Bone nut and saddle
A bone nut and saddle provide optimal transference of the natural string vibration.
Ibanez Advantage bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
Advanced Comfort neck
The AE's "Advanced Comfort Grip" neck shape is an Ibanez original that provides superior comfort and playability. A slight, yet purposeful, asymmetric neck adds to the guitar's unique, natural feel.
