Ibanez AVD9MH Artwood Vintage Series Acoustic Guitar, Main
Ibanez used "Thermo Aged" mahogany to craft this Artwood dreadnought, to lend it a vintage look and help increase its natural sustain and resonance.

The Ibanez AVD9MH Acoustic Guitar is within the "modern approach to acoustic guitar tradition" and has long been the catchphrase for the Artwood series. Artwood Vintage steps even further back in history and borrows the best features of highly desired vintage instruments.

The Artwood Vintage series now showcases another vintage element by applying an "aging" process to the tonewood -- "Thermo Aged" tone wood, made by a special drying process at a high temperature which is commonly known as "baking" or
"torrefaction". Only choice selected and seasoned tone wood can be
cured to Thermo Aged wood. The wood is heated in a vacuum with a specific recipe for each kind of the wood 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 which are common features of vintage guitars.

The dreadnought body shape of the AVD9, along with the Thermo Aged Solid Mahogany top w/Thermo Aged Spruce X bracing, delivers a rich dynamic sound with quick response. Mahogany body back & sides w/Tortoiseshell binding gives this guitar a true vintage vibe. The mahogany soft-V shape neck in satin finish with a Ovangkol fretboard provides playing comfort. Open gear tuners w/butterbean knobs (18:1 gear ratio) ensure accurate, stable tuning and… read more help reduce the headstock weight, while bringing vintage vibe in its looks. A bone nut and saddle are chosen for its ability to transfer the string vibration naturally. D’Addario Nickel Bronze strings emphasize the natural voice of Thermo Aged wood with incredible clarity, resonance and projection.
