FEATURES
Thermo Aged™ Solid Top and Spruce X Bracing
Thermo Aged™ Solid top w/Thermo Aged™ Spruce X bracing delivers ample volume and an enormous frequency range.
Thermo Aged™ Solid Caucasian Spruce top, Mahogany back & sides
The AVC11/AVD11/AVN11 feature a Thermo Aged™ Solid Caucasian Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides. The combination of those provide a mature, very smooth tonal character from top to bottom with increased volume.
Ovangkol fretboard & bridge
Ovankol produces a rich mid range with clear high end.
Bone nut and saddle
A bone nut and saddle provide optimal transference of the natural string vibration.
Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™, the pin and string stay put.
Simplified Graph Comparing Thermo Aged™ to Non-Thermo Aged Guitars
The Thermo Aged™ process makes the sound louder across the entire frequency range, especially the bass and treble areas. (The base line in the graph represents the sound character of Non-Thermo Aged guitar). Having a Thermo Aged™ solid back brings further enhancement to the sound along with the Thermo Aged™ solid top; even more bass, even more treble, and plenty of punch.
