The quality of finish is exceptional. The electronic is noisier than my Fender Stratocaster. There is probably some amliorations bring electronics.

UTILIZATION

- Before buying the Ibanez, I thought acqurir a Gibson ES-175. By shopping, I tried a dozen guitars luthier $ 10 000 at the show the guitar to Montreal. APRS jou have the guitar luthier expensive, I ressay the Gibson ES-175. Although the sound is authentic Gisbson seeks its comfort, its lack of finish and price lev must normment. In terms of comfort and quality of finish, the AF125 is closer to the guitar luthiers as the ES-175! The handle is a comfort to Ingal. You can play for hours without tiring.
- Access in acute is not bad for an archtop
- The guitar is a bit heavy, but its weight is equilibrated: is not forced to keep up. DIMENSIONS are the good and comfort of the handle is Ingal.

SOUNDS

- The sound is quite traditional. Many MID. I play in an Amp Jazzkat and neck with the microphone and the lighter tone, I get sound RECALLING that of Charlie Christian. By lowering the tone a bit, I easily his trs prs that of Pat Metheny. I do not use the microwave bridge, I n'apprcie not its sound. For cons, the two pickups together give me a trs equilibrated for his support Bossa. With the pick, the attacks are easily dtach. Basically, the sound is excellent for jazz, but does not offer much versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

- I have the guitar for a year.
- The comfort and finish are the two greatest qualities. The sound is INTERESTED, but does not offer versatility. strength to play, I like less acute when one is "slamming". May be I should take down a bit ... Although several micro apprcient Super 57 (with Pat Metheny), I find them too noisy (I'm picky, I know).
- The quality-price ratio is excellent. It is for this reason that I bought. For $ 1 000, tui and taxes included, it was well built with a guitar sound trsdcent. For this quality worth paying more. Then we spend the Eastman ($ 2,500) on guitars and violin making.
