All user reviews for the Ibanez AF75D

Hollow Body Guitar, manufactures in China. 22 frtes. Four knobs (2 volumes / 2 tonalities). Slecteur three position. up originally with two humbuckers. Mahogany al.
Frankly, aa beautiful future of China is when even a great job. The varnish finishes are impeccable (two three dtails nearly as dfonce the junction of the body and the handle, maybe not great). She's still beautiful even with an orange head exchange varnish according to the light (from brown to red). Everyone loves it. This is when even rather amazing, that price l.

USE

The handle parat me very pleasant. The guitar is downright trslgre, perhaps a bit too, so, it looks a little stick side, if allowed to leave. Nevertheless, the ergonomics are perfect, it is perhaps not ecstasy from the perspective of access to acute, but hey, in general, it is not for leads the Malmsteem that buys this kind of guitars, right ??
The strings are too soft with books. Go for at least 10-49 or for the flat net (11-50).

SONORITS

At the sound, I will not say much, because I changed the very vites microphones (I wanted the P-90 and the passage I suggest very strong 90 Dream Guitar F tish). Only prevents the two Humbucker original livrs trsrs are good in their genre. with a large output level, they are very quilibrs, perhaps a little lacking in personality but they are perfect with some effects and very very well support the distortion. One can perfectly use for rock. For my part, I opt for something with very clear microphones, little versatile, but perfectly vintage.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had a few weeks, and frankly I immediately knew that he c'tait guitar Fallit me. For 350 euros, it has exceptional quality guitar, which asks that be appropriate. Change the microphones, test DIFFERENT String Sets, test with the DIFFERENT amps DIFFERENT effects, it does not dcevra you. I played on a lot of frankly more chres guitars, and I have never had as much fun.

Ibanez AF-75D TOR "Design".

Channel al Mahogany with a twist "Rosewood", 22 frets, fitting to the body at the 14ME fret, with "binding" (contours) and "perl inlay" (marking). Graphite nut (self-lubricating) compensated (the Sol and Si).
Maple body.

Floating bridge like "archtop" "bearings".

Mcaniques lock (locking receivers) chrome.

USE

Nothing to say.
Handle very pleasant, slightly thick profile rather large button.
The access to acute is not very comfortable because of the thickness of the body and the pan shot that is not very pronounced.

SONORITS

Perfect tool for Rock'n'Roll, Rock'a'Billy, Country, Blues, Jazz.
This type of instrument "half box" is not really designed for sonorits "ultra-saturated" high volume, the feedback in these extreme conditions becomes difficult contrlable.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Guitar LOOK INFERNO, and exceptional sonorits.
A REAL "MUST".

I bought this guitar from a locale music store here in baton rouge, la called Live Music. They gave me a good price for it. I bought it for $300 and i also got an amp, strap, cord and picks for only $75 more. I'm a beginner and wanted something not too cheap, but something that would keep me wanting to play.

the sound is great and easy to play. It has a wide neck, so for a beginner with fat fingers, its been easier for me to play.

there's not too much i dont like, only that it didnt come with a case.

Its constructed very well and finish is beautiful (vintage sunburst).

Very good guitar for beginners, intermediates or someone on a budget. i would recommend it to anyone.

UTILIZATION

The handle is good, it is not too big like some of Gibson but it is still not in the standard Ibanez. . .

The access is quite acute in sports but not vraiemntr order!

The ratings do not suffer too much with this guitar not too heavy (unless es-335 or 175), a little but not too unbalanced!

SOUNDS

Well this guitar is made for the Jazz, Blues and Rock. . .

Playing the Jazz on micro fate no problems, it's not fabulous but it's good anyway!

The Blues are playing well too, and the Rock pase Pluot well!

As against an increase in string tension seems mandatory to sit the sound and the pickups are cheap anyway. . .

Sempble be a change in the medium term solution mandatory. . .

OVERALL OPINION

My brother bought this bass scratching to get a guitar, and I will qund home I play on this guitar. . .

The value for money is good, as often with Ibanez, even if it is necessary to quickly change the pickups sound is not bad anyway!

For me not meieux in the price range for this type of guitar!

Japanese-
22 frets
2 humbucking pickups Ibanez ACH1 + ACH2
VT-50 + bridge tailpiece ART-1
Mechanical oil bath
Chrome hardware
2 Volumes 2 Tones
Artcore mahogany set neck. Phil Guitar dsl for that mistake!

UTILIZATION

The handle is comfortable to play. it is rather late and fast.
The access is facilitated by the sharp cutaway.
The body is deeper than on other models of genre.Elle is slightly heavier, but it is nice tes in terms of comfort and game (keeping the guitar against the ribs).
The depth of the body brings a powerful and warm without being plugged into an amp.
On an amp the sound is very jazzy, while providing a more traditional electric.
The pickups are basic but still very suitable for a beginner like me ... I think a change of four good but not that urge.

SOUNDS

This scratch was made for me.
I wanted to play a scratch either acoustic or on amp.
I play a Peavey Blazer 158 amp (15 watts).
Not being a pro suits me well I enjoy with good small trips without breaking .... ears of my neighbors.
I quite like playing clean sounds.
I'm having too much with the distortion or overdrive, but I do not like to stick around and every time I play.
You can do anything with this guitar and it sounds: the Beatles to Nirvana via Tete, Brassens, Led Zep blues or good candy.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three years since I started guitar and it's been two years since I played on the scraper.
I love his look, his hand causing (orange).
I love the sound jazzy, powerful and warm the body be it acoustic or electric.
It's not very objective, but there is nothing I dislike about this guitar.

In terms of price, 390 euros for a guitar like that, I think it's clear ...
In terms of quality, well it has a cool sound, the finish is superb (violin, varnish, pearlescent handle) compared to identical models in big brands for me are not photos.
In the words of Guitar Phil's opinion, value for money is exceptional "as long as you are not a" snob "narrow-minded who believe that only 3000 Euros guitars do the trick (like Gibsons or Gretsch).. "

Phil_Guitar adj said everything about

UTILIZATION

I use it for less than 3 days after my dboires with Vintage.
And that is without comparison.
That happiness.
Ultra easy to play, a sound I like.
I even followed the advice of Steff, an AC / DC does distortion (but not too much), cr me chills.

SOUNDS

Blues, Rock and a bit of variation on. I could not get any better.

OVERALL OPINION

A great moment of happiness.
I even surprised me play a little Pink Floyd playing the Blues Riff cho on one base.

Time amliorera probably still things ...

(I re-updated the LINKS!)

These models are made in China.

Ibanez link on the site:
http://www.ibanez.com/HollowBodyGuitars/model-AF75D

Mahogany set neck with a twist "Rosewood", 22 frets, connection to the body at the 14th fret, with "binding" (edges) and "perl inlay" (marking).

Cons veneer maple body (in fact 90% of half-boxes are plated Gibson cons included, only a few exceptions VERY EXPENSIVE have a solid wood crate).

2 chrome humbuckers in standard electronic configuration (LP-style - ie a 3-position switch, 2 volume, 2 tones).

Easel "floating" type "archtop" adjustable height and adjustable bridge by bridge, chrome.

Mechanical oil bath chrome.

The finish of this guitar is very "OUTSTANDING" (binding, varnish, pearlescent, etc. ...).

UTILIZATION

This guitar is a stringed SPOTLESS. It requires REAL strings to give it the full breadth of sound that can be expected, ie the 10-52 see larger. Especially do not install what I call "elastic", it never rings.

The handle is a true "delight". Access to the treble is a bit difficult because the bevel is not very deep, but it is a compromise in favor of its cash (cash bulkier). The box is deep, giving it a sound loud enough. Moreover, as there is no "beam" support fund, but instead a dam fine enough, the sound is "broad" (but beware the "Larsen" inherent in this type of case). In any case, this depth of body is not "too important" and comfort of play (corner of cash and the odds against the underside of the arm) is not questioned, for a guitar of this type.
The guitar is pretty light.
Regarding the pickups, humbuckers are good, not too powerful, and coming up with happiness "dub" sound a little cash. The result is a sound of Jazz while 1st order precise, soft, and with a bit of acoustic resonance.

Now, if you're a maniac as I am, replacing the pickups with 2-TV Jones, you're left with a "GRETSCH" hands, for just the fifth of the price.

SOUNDS

Jazz for the Blues Rock'a'Billy is THE GUITAR you need, provided that you do not "snobbish" narrow-minded who believe that only the guitars are the 3000 Euros case (kind Gibsons or Gretsch).

I played on a number of amps, transistors for sound "clear" and Jazz, Blues and lamps for rock'n'roll, with the original pickups it sounded like a princess already, with TV-Jones is coming to paradise.

The most beautiful sounds are those obtained in clean, when you hear a little of the acoustic sound that permeates through the amp.
But, it's crunch actually sends the "puree", she goes naturally into "feedback" which allows the control to have a wonderful sustain.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is a "Must I had a Gretsch Electromatic ago on which I installed the 2-TV Jones pickups, the Gretsch I sold, I mounted the TV-Jones on Ibanez, and I got to heaven, my ancestors!

If you look at the value, it's pure MADNESS!

PS: a Gretsch 6120 cost roughly between 2300 and 3000 Euros depending on the model, AND IT DOES NOT RING MY BEST IBANEZ after processing, I assure you!

My dear friend "LUIS REGO" after me "Sprout" mine for 2 weeks after becoming "madly" This guitar has ordered me a "completely changed" by my honorable care!

These guitars are made in China.

Ibanez link :
http://www.ibanez.com/HollowBodyGuitars/model-AF75D

Set-in <span>Mahogany Neck with <span>Bound Rosewood</span> <span>Fingerboard, 22</span></span> frets, the neck joins the guitar body at the 14th fret.

<span>Maple plywood on the top, back and sides </span>(most hollow-body archtop guitars have bodies made of plywood, even really expensive models from well known brands).

2 Humbuckers and a "standard" configuration for the electronic (2 Volume pots, 2 Tone pots, 1 Switch 3positions).

Fully adjustable archtop type bridge.

UTILIZATION

This guitar is really a great well built quality instrument, no doubt about it.
It requires a bit heavier string gauges to start sounding perfectly (10 - 52, or heavier).

The neck is a "REAL BEAUTY" by itself, a bit like an excellent version of a Speed-Taper neck ... really nice and easy to play.
The access to the bottom of the neck isn't too easy mainly because of this type of "Gretsch 6120" single cut-away and a body which is rather deep, but it is in favour of the general acoustic sound of the guitar which by the way is quite good for such a hollow-body type electric guitar.
The guitar doesn't weigh much, just fine for the shoulders.

The pickups are 2 good humbuckers, not too powerful. They have a nice, precise and cool jazz sound, with a pinch of acoustic sound (surely because of the metallic pickup covers which vibrates with the body and work a little bit like microphones).
This guitar has a GREAT JAZZ SOUND.

---------------------------------------------

Now, if you like to customize your guitars like I do, you can have a real Gretsch like sounding guitar for very little money by replacing the pickups with 2 TV-Jones.

I also added big golden volume and tone knobs, cut a gold painted translucid pickguard and finally repainted the headstock for the "decoration". OOOOooooh !!!

SOUNDS

To play Jazz, Blues, Rock'n'Roll and Rock'a'Billy, it is really a great guitar.

With transistor amps you'll get beautiful clean Jazz sounds, with tube amps you'll have great Blues and Rock'n'Roll tones.
Now, if you add the TV-Jones pickups you'll get into heaven.

This guitar will "naturally" feedback with crunchy tones, which can lead to wonderful sustains if you know how to control a feedback.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is a "MUST" !!!
I had (from a famous brand of guitars) a cheap version of a well know Rock'a'Billy guitar that I had equipped with 2 TV-Jones.
But, the guitar didn't sound, the neck had the shape of a baseball bat and was hard to play ... the only cool thing about this one was the name of the brand on the headstock (not enough for me, sorry !!!).
So, as soon as I discovered the IBANEZ AF-75D TOR, I sold the (recent) old damn peace of wood and I bought the IBANEZ AF-75D TOR on which I installed the TV-Jones.

For that little money it is barely impossible to get anything of that great quality (Thanks to the Chinese luthiers !!! These friendly guys RULE !!!).

Here is the Web-Page where I roughly documented the "FABULOUS" transformations that I did on my beatiful IBANEZ AF75DTOR :
