The Artwood Vintage series by Ibanez brings you a traditional acoustic look and sound. And thanks to a special Thermo Aged process, you receive the sought after sound of vintage acoustics. A process called 'torrefaction' involves each piece of tonewood being heated in a vacuum. This releases water and decomposes any resin within the wood.
The result, a light, hard, and stable piece of timber - just like vintage tonewoods that have dried for decades. Thermo Aged wood delivers a spectacular response with superb volume. It also allows the guitar to deliver a full-bodied low-end, and smooth sustain from the treble strings. It will deliver the common characteristics of vintage guitars.
A solid top ensures your guitar will sound better with age. The more you play, the more the tone opens up and grows over time. A solid sitka spruce top delivers a broad dynamic range, with a clear, strong, and versatile response. This means you can play a wide variety of genres and techniques with ease. A truly dynamic sound.
Maple back and sides make up this guitar's sonic-footprint. And with a maple body, the Artwood Vintage produces a bright, focused tone with excellent projection. Maple also delivers incredible note separation. Resulting in a defined sound. Perfect for many different genres and styles, this guitar will be with you for years to come.
