The Ibanez AVD9MH Acoustic Guitar is a testament to the fusion of modern innovation with traditional acoustic guitar craftsmanship, a hallmark of the Artwood series. The Artwood Vintage line takes inspiration from coveted vintage instruments, incorporating their most desirable qualities.
A key feature of the Artwood Vintage series is the use of "Thermo Aged" tonewood, which undergoes a specialized aging process involving high-temperature treatment, akin to baking or torrefaction. Only carefully selected and seasoned tonewoods are subjected to this process, resulting in Thermo Aged wood that is light, resilient, and acoustically vibrant, akin to wood aged over decades. This treatment enhances the tonewood's response and volume, with a tonal profile characterized by a robust low-end and smooth sustain on the treble strings, reminiscent of vintage guitars.
The dreadnought body shape of the AVD9, coupled with the Thermo Aged Solid Mahogany top featuring Thermo Aged Spruce X bracing, produces a dynamic and responsive sound. Mahogany body back and sides, adorned with Tortoiseshell binding, further contribute to the guitar's vintage aesthetic. The satin-finished mahogany soft-V shape neck, paired with an Ovangkol fretboard, ensures comfortable playability.
Enhancing the vintage appeal, the AVD9 is equipped with open gear tuners with butterbean knobs, boasting an 18:1 gear ratio for precise and stable tuning. Additionally, these tuners reduce headstock weight while adding to the guitar's retro charm. A bone nut and saddle are chosen for their ability to transfer string vibration naturally, contributing to the instrument's rich resonance. Completing the package, D’Addario Nickel Bronze strings accentuate the natural tonal characteristics of Thermo Aged wood, offering exceptional clarity, resonance, and projection.
