Ibanez ASV10A Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Sporting a weathered low-gloss finish across its maple body, the Ibanez ASV10A matches its vintage look with the sound of its Classic Elite humbuckers.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Maple body Long sustain, good projection, bright tone
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
Ibanez Classic Elite pickups Medium-level output, warm tonality

Lurking beneath its aged looking facade and smoky, low gloss finish is a sophisticated semi-hollow that can easily handle almost any musical challenge imaginable. The ASV10A features a select-grade Maple top, back, and sides, and the Artcore Vintage Mahogany set-in neck -- a neck that's proven itself over the years on countless Ibanez guitars. Its bound Rosewood fretboard is inlaid with aged white blocks, and joined to the body at the 17th fret for comfortable access to higher notes. Mounted into a center block for increased sustain and feedback elimination -- Ibanez Classic Elite pickups offer warm, ultra-responsive tone with moderate output that allow the ASV10A to venture well beyond the realm of most semi-hollow guitars.

There's something enticing about the look of an older, vintage guitar -- well worn with battle scars, earned throughout its years of hard use. Much like a vintage leather jacket or rare antique furnishings, it immediately feels comfortable and sets a tone unlike anything brand new, right off the shelf. It's this idea that inspired the Ibanez Artcore Vintage Series.

This is an excellent guitar. Right out of the box after tuning it played excellent. The tone was perfect. I will put this guitar up against any Gibson 335. The difference is minor. The controls are solid and the body construction is almost perfect. The only thing that I have problems with is that Ibanez never places the strings over the pickup pole pieces. There is always a mis-alignment. It's like the pickups are not made for the guitar. I have 4 Ibanez guitars and they all have the same problem. Otherwise great guitar.
