Ibanez AF71F-TBC
Product no: 9000-0023-7049 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

With the AF71F in Tobacco Brown, Ibanez targets two groups of people at once. Its price makes it rather appealing to beginner guitarists, looking for their first hollow-body guitar. Besides that, this Artcore guitar is also great for more advanced jazz cats, who'd like a proper guitar for small pub gigs, for instance. All in all, it offers plenty of value for money. In fact, it's a small miracle that Ibanez manages to offer this absolute gem at this price!

Construction

With its maple body and its mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, the AF71F in Tobacco Brown has a pleasant core sound with a nice bite to it. The Classic Elite Mini pickup, designed by Ibanez themselves, offers the perfect medium output and helps prevent feedback. As you might expect from Ibanez, this guitar's hardware is highly durable, and everything is finished very neatly. In short, it's a gorgeous hollow-body guitar at a remarkably low price.

Artcore neck

One of the Ibanez Artcore series' greatest advantages is the type of neck it uses. It's a set-in mahogany Artcore-AF neck that is set deeply into the body. Besides allowing for excellent stabilty, it also has a very comfortable heel, and results in far greater sustain for the guitar!

Wrote the following about Ibanez AF71F-TBC

Super lekker gitaartje. Mooie heldere sound akoestisch, in het laag iets dun maar dat is precies wat ik zoek. Het akoestische volume is prettig, absoluut geen krachtpatser maar perfect om onversterkt te oefenen. Pickup is goed, helder. Toonregling op gitaar is voldoende, maar budget. De hals is 'Ibanez' smal: voor mijn wat kleinere handen heel fijn, en speelt daardoor ook lekker licht en soepel. Gitaar komt met 0.9 set round wound snaren. Heb een 0.11 flat wound setje mee besteld. Gitaar is speelbaar vanuit de doos.

Levering supersnel, prijs superscherp tov. concurrenten. Setje flatwound 0.11 erbij en een goede standaard en je bent helemaal klaar om te beginnen, ook zonder versterker. Bax toppertje!

Zoek je een echte jazz-gitaar en is dit ongeveer je budget? KOOP DEZE

Prijs/kwaliteit van deze gitaar is ongekend en hij laat zijn concurrenten ver achter zich:
- waanzinnig mooie klank
- ontstemt niet of auwelijks
- goed vervaardigd, voelt solide
- prachtig uiterlijk

Ik had geen idee wat ik kocht toen ik deze gitaar aanschafte. Hij zag er jazzy en klonk wel lekker, maar inmiddels is deze gitaar een van de prominentere gitaren uit mijn selectie geworden. Ik gebruik 'm in mijn jazzbandje en in mijn 40's RnB bandje.

Het is waar dat je alleen het neck-element ter beschikking hebt en dat de gitaar daardoor enigszins beperkt is. Maar voor mij geldt: als ik andere stijlen ga spelen pak ik wel een andere gitaar :-)

Beter dan dit wordt het niet voor die prijs.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
