I hesitated between a 95 AF (432 euros resulted in many merchant sites) and Ibanez Af 86 (464 Thomann), the only difference between the two models is that the Af 95 golden finishes slightly bling bling while the Af 86 simply chrome. I finally opted for the AF 86 knowing that the gilding darken with time.
AF 86 is a jewel of violin that has something to blush guitars to 2000 euros. Everything is only perfection is good taste:
- Flamed sycamore body (which sounds much better than maple AF 75-399 euros)
- Fast neck with inlay Abalone (faster than the sleeve of my Les Paul)
- Trapeze tailpiece with wooden cover
- Micro bang with very typed sounds Grech 60 '
- Maple mesh everywhere

The guitar is broadly, a 10 for the beauty of its wood and its sound quality.



USE

The handle is a delight to play jazzy solos, it is fast and very comfortable (we feel the experience of Ibanez) is much higher than a Gibson in comfort.
The guitar is balanced, rather light, access to acute is very good for this kind of guitar.
For audio, you can play anything except metal ...

SOUNDS

My father has a 1/4 Gretch fund 60s, quite honestly, the sound the same Ibanez exactly. It sounds more Gretch Gibson, sound with a little reverb is vraimant amazing! The guitar has a soul, which is very rare in this price range. This is ideal for playing rock 60 '. One can also have a beautiful sound blues and especially the neck pickup, a sound jazz / bossa with a rare fluidity.
For 470 euros, it is a miracle!
