Ibanez AVD60-NT Artwood Vintage Thermo Aged™

AVD60-NT (Acoustic Guitar)

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."

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.

BONE NUT AND SADDLE

A bone nut and saddle provide optimal transference of the natural string vibration.

GROVER® CHROME OPEN GEAR TUNERS W/BUTTERBEAN KNOBS

Grover® open gear tuners w/butterbean knobs(18:1 gear ratio) ensure accurate, stable tuning and help reduce the headstock weight while contributing to the vintage look.

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.

(The baseline in the graph represents the sound character of a 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
