Classic design for a jazz box (es cf 175)
Body width smaller than the average, closer epiphones joe pass
Ibanez pickups custom 58 (ceramic, alnico, not as Pm and Gb)

UTILIZATION

Very good ergonomics
Handle very pleasant.
Slight guitar

SOUNDS

Sonority very sweet, but with little output level with the original pickups. Ideal for accompaniment.
After replacement by two gibson 57 classic, the guitar takes another Dimmension. Jim Hall and Wes are not far .....

OVERALL OPINION

Very powerful guitar pickups after change (57 classic). Compares favorably with other models and benson are 175. The violin is very beautiful.
The problem is the economy performed on critical components ... guitar laché me full studio session when I had to spend an entire morning at settle my fault ... its a ridiculously jack cheap. I can also change the bridge .... I still have to change the controls for volume and tone, and after my luthier ....
But at the sound and playability, I did not find a better jazz, after the mods ..... however I have not yet tried L5 ......

Hello friends, musicians, I have just acquired this guitar recently and I will give my impressions.Guitare made in China, has 22 frets, wood handle rose.Ils are 2 switches for volume and microphone for tones.2 types super 58 humbuckers custom.Elle appearance has a breathtaking, beautiful, beautiful finish while maple (neck, front, side, rear). Very nice key-type groove.

UTILIZATION

As for playing with this guitar, c is very nice since it has small frets which makes the handle very easy to play, but from 18 cargo, it becomes more difficile.Pour terms of weight, c is good for a guitar of this kind (artchtop). The sound is very pleasant for those who seek a beautiful sound jazz.Le clearer sound is pretty good.

SOUNDS

For those looking for a jazz guitar, I recommend it very highly, especially for audio and even for his finishing is very remarquable.J I try another guitar before the purchase and c is the model that I have the préférerpour and for his appearance and the beautiful finish of bois.Je currently plays with a Traynor amp (ycv40) lamps and a c is fabulous sound that this guitar donne.Moi me I prefer a more dull for jazz, but the who prefers a more crystalline, c is very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last little while, but I am very satisfaits.Ce that I love most about this guitar, c is its finish, I have an Epiphone Emperor Joe try to pass, and I've been very disappointed with this guitar, so for the same price area, Ibanez is much supérieur.Le price / quality ratio is very acceptable, I m expecting to pay more for this guitare.Si I should repeat the choice of buying this guitar, I would do without hésitation.Je n have not found a default on the guitar part, not to over adjust the sound bold, since they perceive a feedback light, but c is quite normal for this kind of guitare.Pour Finally, take the time to try this Ibanez if you wanted a jazz guitar, without paying too high an amount and in addition, you will not pay for the name of the company but for a good product even if c is a guitar chinoise.Bonne luck with your future purchases guitar.

CHARACTERISTICS See manufacturer.

UTILIZATION

Channel super enjoyable.
Access in acute: as all the jazz, a little more difficult than a solid body.
Guitar trslgre and enjoyable.
Trs trs good sound and versatile.

SOUNDS

Suitable done everything to jazz, blues, bossa nova, ...
I use it with ampeg amp or live on a "isa220" Focusrite and the sound is more than acceptable for a guitar this price.
Her trs hot nanmoins, The models who rate three times its price has an even more "typquot; jazz.
On this guitar, I put all the pots back together and two microphones, the sound is excellent (for me)!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a year and a half.
What I like most about this guitar: the neck hyper enjoyable.
What I like least for this guitar: the thickness of the body and yet it is not a Paisse that but for the sound I DSIR, it is essential.
I tried many other models, even more brands rename Chres and frankly, the best quality-price This category price I found on the market.
With exprience, I would do absolutely the same choice. In fact, I would try his little sister "AF105F NT".

See above

UTILIZATION

Fun to play guitar in acute access not easy but it's the guitar that wants his
. I replace a string with a 11/52 mesh dish for better tuning stability and an easier game (Because the flat mesh).
The negatives are that the bridge is not fixed the adjustment of the guitar is a bit more delicate than a solid body, I find that the metal bridge generates vibrations dsagreable I prefer the easel.
I blew up the shield because it also vibrates.
Finally, all these small flaws in the guitar to intrasseque style.

SOUNDS

Question sound Nothing to say it sounds really jazz without pluto out well are somewhat if not downright saturate saturate. May have to play such europa santana with good sustain.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some weeks and I'm falling amoureux.c is the compromise I was looking for a guitar that I resisted because I have a strong attack while being electric as I play a lot of acoustic and acoustic Cash more severe attack of the mediator.
I is not that the gibson sounds really better for the difference in price
750 euro but it was a good trs jazz guitar that is more finely crafted.
remains to know how it goes if it will viellire bonnifier or decompose.

- Made in China. I will not venture to criticize the social conditions of employees. They are probably dplorables vrifier but almost impossible. Anyway, I dcomplex buy "Made in China" seen the quality of the guitar. Certainly, with its long exprience Ibanez dlocalis its chains of production, but while exporting knowledge. The major makers and designers are waiting for you. In my opinion, many of Ibanez THE FIRST hours "made in Japan" are much less well finished than this guitar.
- Attention ago MODELS in SERIES AF, the latter, the AF 105 NT is the high end of the SERIES. There are the AF 105F notte NT possde that one micro-handle and knobs on the small table for protection, I got the wrong place. If your budget allows, prferez the AF 105 NT, the beautiful mother of pearl finishes, can be too flashy for some gots. Ms. violin making of the body brings better sound than The models cheaper. These are ingnieurs dous to make you pay.
- The Channel is excquis. He is one of those with whom thinks he has better guitarist. Although RULES factory and it's not always the case with Ibanez, the keys are touch for sound prcis. The handle provides opportunities enormment nuances in the case of a game cast and subtle. I mean by that is really the possibility to qualify the attack or to drag a box the other while preserving the famous jazz sustain. All I said is valid only for flat nets. The salesman I had been Submitted with nets round c'tait disaster. It bordered, to sizzle, but it got nice and silent hill net flat with no obligation on my part. (Toulouse Colos Music) The bridge is not fixed change your strings one by one. It has the adjustable bridge and chrome or wooden easel. I have for about 6 months and I have not changed the strings not yet the bridge either. I'm on the chrome and has done everything for me. I would see the wood later.
- The body is in Fully stocky, and rosewood fingerboard (I think). Natural wood is beautiful.
- The coating absorbs only little trs sound, but when even a little. Like all the guitars of all brands, they are not regularly. If you are your tents, do not hesitate to try it in several stores. I found myself even of Difference significant enough, but mine is better. And fake!
- For rglages, I play almost exclusively on the neck pickup. Is that both the round and powerful bass and crystal clear Agues. It also has made me especially frmir with this guitar. Tone your Rglez well not to be too explosive Agues deaf and low, but it is easily accessible with this guitar. If you want to rock with a little saturated in the sound try the bridge pickup, not bad as intermdiaire or position, but it is for jazz neck pickup. For the blues, you will have the ct BB King With the Micro-ct round and old blues with the other two positions. Again idalie.
- It frtes 22. I think if you go for the Agues it will just turn the Tone to keep a beautiful sound. It can be a little restrictive.
- One point I ngatif of tinkering around, these are vibrations inoportunes. They came from two places. The ropes were Premire between the bridge and the hook rocker. The air there is nothing about 10 centimtres string sounds with a free time. My thing, they are small dumplings fix the base of the rope on each string. It shows a little work but the thunder and you breathe APRS. The second place a small table between the vibration protection and supports Micro. The still Remde: the magic pastry fix. In addition has not seen at all and it works niquel.

UTILIZATION

- As I said above, I operates mainly jazz song Franaise and is idalie. A bit of saturation is done well and is versatile Tolra in blues. No blues-rock when the same Popa Chubby. It is made for people a little more dlicat. Strangely I find it ill-suited for the bossa nova. Maybe too I like the sound of the bossa with a classical guitar.
- In any case it is lgre. I used to live and c'tait niquel.
- In a comment I read that the amp s'tait fatigue with this guitar. Sincrement, I do not believe it. I noticed the same thing on my guitar. She has lost some of its attack time. I think plutt need new ropes at all times. net ropes courses do not seem to tire, but yet they wear fawn invisible because of the coating, unlike the round threads.
- Harmonics are a little hard to find. Maybe mine is not perfectly RULES?

SOUNDS

I just say dj for its highest.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this is an exceptional guitar, made from the vibrations that can be remedied. The report qualitprix. Especially when trying to Gibson ES 335. I think Gibson is currently offering jazz guitar work Ashamed. The finishes are rush (poss bad nut, sagging paint, varnish too pais, gills dssines wrong ...) it all for prices in 3000 or 4000 euros. The woods are wrong. In short, be a boss Gibson has to be seen how profitable trs lsinent on everything. Yes, but it "made in United States" could be heard. Who cares! The Chinese provide serious now.
I tried a lot of old jazz guitars pretty old and I have not got the sound of the Ibanez. They lose their attack, sustain them for the most part. Again, the age ropes and challenge. Nets must be almost a flat nine.
If you hsitez for the purchase, n'hsitez more.
Me is my Premire jazz, I played on an old semi-dobro suzuki of 82 that I love for its potatoes, but the poor remains only for the purchase.

Chinese manufacturing.
22 medium frets and round, ends softened, it changes the bevel that you feel a bit of time ...
Rosewood tailpiece and Tune-o-Matic mounted on a floating rosewood (ability to mount a rosewood bridge with well-supplied)
2 microphones and 2 Super 58-2 vol and tone selector 3 positions.
Round and round enough end in 5 pieces (Maple / Bubinga) with reinforcement at the butt nut. Rosewood
Body Flame Maple Hollow Body type.

Aesthetically it's very beautiful and well finished, the varnish is very well. Difficult to find a lack of finishing.

UTILIZATION

The neck is absolutely awesome facility! Getting Started as pleasant as possible, the finish of the frets provides extra dexterity because of their rounded shape at the ends. The curve is well studied, is everything that goes almost from the first notes ... (Provided the rule because leaving the factory is a scandal)
This is the first time I meet this kind of shrinking, it's really great!

The balance of the guitar is perfect when it is played sitting down. The weight is not a concern for the guitar either.

From a gameplay point of view, like all or most Jazz, access to the latest box remains difficult.

However, once connected, you can quickly forget this detail (size) because the sound is by appointment ...

SOUNDS

This guitar provided a sound quite good for the price. It includes jazz really is expected, however, one would expect a micro kit a bit more "pro" given that it struts Custom logo on the head. Well certainly found this kit on Metheny and Benson for example, but ...
The sound is still very good, I would not complain personally. The day I can change them, maybe I will go up a kit of 57 Gibson pickups found on their model and some jazz and then a Les Paul kit Duncans ... to see

In short, the sound is dynamic, medium and fairly clear, not overloaded with bass (maple forces), the sustain is good but incomparable with Gibson Luthiers or jazz, normal is not the same class! But I think it still stands well against them and in a good JazzChorus Roland, it does little ashamed!

So nothing to regret for the price, I like this sound, then we can always try to improve but ... which tells us that it will be much better ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 years and a half, it suits me perfectly. This is the guitar on which I work the instrument, it is used a few times live and ongoing.

To remember the really nice side to play, the sound impeccable, and the finish really good! In addition it comes with a hardcase ... a "BIG" plus!

Note that to use a pro / stud etc ... a kit of high-end microphones to see and test at least ... but it's not guaranteed that it makes a big step for this ... Ibanez

The price / quality ratio is really good for this model, it is correctly placed on the market, and provides benefits at the level of description. Again, notice all the world will be worth nothing compared to what qu'entendront your ears during the test and feel that your fingers once posed above.

If I just have something to say about her, she is perfect for my needs, she did not really ruined, and gives me full satisfaction ... Ibanez for once I say that, I will not bother me ...

I would put 10 because it really does a good job so no reason to go ...

For the description, I think it's enough said.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice with very good access to acute in this type of guitar. Of the fund is not huge and it does not feel torn playing, handling very fast. By playing the first time, I almost had the impression of having always played (I played so far on a Selmer type which may explain this.)
Only one limit can be: the head a little heavy, which balance the body slightly.
It was easily the sound is desired, standard setting on such a flight and a guitar tone from the microphone. Setting very effective.

SOUNDS

I play jazz in clean / crunch and the branch a Fender Blues DeVille dan (4x10 '), far too powerful for what I do, I think a blues junior would be perfect.
A faith that we have set the amp, it is sufficient settings of the guitar: very effective tone, volume to "crunch" or not, etc..
I do not use microphones acute for what I play the bass is excellent is sufficient (in fact I plan to change it to a Seymour, to see).
Sound "on" Kenny Burrell (in all modesty of course) is really possible that guitar aec

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I think I'll keep it very long. We must now see how it will age.
Tried to see a lot of guitars of the same type that one fills me not to mention the value, leaving Gibson very far behind (although this is not an ES 175, for example, the price of the latter is very far from being justified in contrast to the Ibanez, which I think is the best value in this range).
The more I play, the more I am satisfied.

Origin China
Ibanez flat handle so fast comfort

UTILIZATION

The Manchen is quick and easy. The access to acute not top it beyond the 17 th box but it does not matter is a guitar that gives its best even in the middle of the handle
The guitar's super nice when held in hand, the sound is super plain. saturation, it depends on the amp because the two super 58 does not saturate. Its hollow body makes a very good sustain and a natural reverb.

SOUNDS

It is versatile, and side-half cash, half way into electric dryer can give the effect of two in the game
Marshall on my or my pod top it. The guitar has a warm and deep. It has lots of treble, the ideal is to activate the communicator in a central position for balanced. The sound is fine grain
It was immediately the sound of the pioneers of rock.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years
For the picking, it is at the top, we take for Scotty Moore
I hesitated with an Epiphone but as soon as I heard it and I touched the handle the issue did not arise.
The value for money is the best I know, same as my baja telecaster classic 50. the violin is beautiful and finish are excellent, it competes globally with guitars twice as expensive. I do it again the choice with eyes closed
Reform of June 23, 2009: After four years of use it has not moved a muscle, it is always reliable. Most of it is putting a rope net flat, the sound is softer, less slamming, and this light is really good agreement

I pass, already said it much more than I can do it! Idem
