Ibanez Artwood Vintage AVD15MPL-OPS Thermo-Aged Acoustic Guitar
Pre-Owned, In Excellent Condition
This is a very interesting piece. This model was available from Ibanez in Europe and other countries, but was never issued in the US. This is a factory sample that a Hoshino employee had acquired. In very good condition, it's set up and ready to play.
More info from Ibanez:
The Artwood Vintage series applies an "aging" process to the tonewood-"Thermo Aging™," a special drying process at a high temperature, commonly known as "baking" or "torrefaction." Only specially selected and seasoned tone wood can be cured to Thermo Aged™ wood. The wood is heated in a vacuum in order to release water and decompose resin contained within the wood.
As a result, Thermo Aged™ tone wood becomes light, hard and stable like tone wood dried for decades, while providing amazing response and a louder sound. The tone character includes a full-bodied low-end and a great smooth sustain in the treble strings, common features of vintage guitars.
The Thermo Aged™ Solid Sitka Spruce Top delivers a vintage dry sound. Furthermore, a semi-gloss antique finish offers even more of a vintage, aged appearance.
Combined with a Maple back and Thermo Aged™ Spruce X bracing, this guitar provides a bright and wide open resonant sound with vivid tone projection. The satin finished Nyatoh neck with a Thermo Aged™ Maple fretboard provides greater playing comfort and stability.
The combination of the Maple fretboard, Maple back & sides body, Maple pickguard, Maple bridge and Maple bridge pins make this guitar's character extremely unique. An unbleached bone nut and saddle were chosen for their ability to transfer the string vibration naturally.
