Full Description
View Full DescriptionStunning design, inside and out
When looking for a guitar that will be with you through every practice session, gig or career changing performance, the two aspects that are the ultimate deciders are comfort and sound. This guitar offers an abundance of both. Crafted from okoume, the body of the guitar is shaped beautifully, offering comfort and ease whilst playing. The cut-out means you can access the higher frets without any difficulty, and the narrow waist offers plenty of much-needed room to strum, meaning you can focus solely on your excellent playing. The guitar will take care of everything else.
Within the body is X-M bracing, which is invaluable to this guitar's sound. Attached underneath the guitar's top, it is carefully designed to ensure string vibrations travel from the bridge to the body in a way that delivers clear and bright tonal clarity - from the low end to high trebles. You can be confident in your playing without worrying about any sound not reaching the back of the room, particularly helped by the wide dynamic range it brings too.A magnificent magnetic pickup
The pickup featured on this guitar is unintrusive in appearance but boosts your sound to its full potential. It does this in a very clever way which retains the guitar's natural acoustic sound. It seems subtle, but you would immediately notice the difference without it. Thanks to its small and lightweight design, the pickup does not impact the vibrations of the solid okoume top, and it produces minimal feedback. It focuses purely on enhancing the tone of the guitar with a bright and encapsulating response. There is no need to worry about losing any tones amidst your playing, the pickup responds well across the whole tone and frequency range, so you can be sure that every note will ring out with sparkling clarity.
Electronics that enhance your sound
As if the natural tones this guitar delivers were not enough, the electronics it comes built with give you the freedom to create a sound that is uniquely your own. Adjust your bass and treble between sets to intricately perfect every song. They work hand in hand with the pickups to offer a dazzling sound in which no note goes unheard. The controls are small dials which are well disguised, therefore not reducing the guitar's warm, acoustic style. They also make it extremely versatile in sound and appearance, particularly ideal if you want to keep the cosy vibe of an intimate set whilst still projecting a sound that fills the room. But the weathered black also makes it a commanding instrument for a larger venue. The built-in tuner presents more benefits and makes setting up as seamless as possible.
Prepare for fearless fretting
The mix of woods on the upper half of this guitar, the Katalox fretboard and Nyatoh neck, ensure a beautiful, natural appearance whilst also being amazingly durable. The neck embodies a thin C-shape style which means it is satisfyingly comfortable to hold, giving you immense opportunity to work your way skilfully across the fretboard. The Ibanez AE295 fretboard features a rounded edge, further increasing its playability for various techniques, such as using your thumb over the top. The wooden vine inlays are a beautiful and unique finish to an already stunning guitar.
