Ibanez AVD10 Vintage Thermo Aged Solid Top/Back Acoustic Guitar Violin Sunburst

The dreadnought body shape of the AVD10, along with the Thermo Aged Solid Sitka Spruce top delivers an enormous frequency range and great projection. Combined with a Thermo Aged solid Mahogany back and Thermo Aged Spruce X top/back bracing, the AVD 10 offers an open, resonant sound. Herringbone purfling, Ivoroid bindings on body, neck and headstock, specially designed Mother of Pearl fretboard inlay all contribute to this vintage feeling instrument.

The mahogany soft-V shape neck in satin finish with a Rosewood fretboard provides playing comfort. Grover open gear tuners w/butterbean knobs (18:1 gear ratio) ensure accurate, stable tuning and help reduce the headstock weight, while bringing vintage vibe in its looks. A bone nut and saddle are chosen for its ability to transfer the string vibration naturally. D'Addario Nickel Bronze strings emphasize the natural voice of Thermo Aged wood with incredible clarity, resonance and projection.

The Artwood Vintage series now showcases another vintage element by applying an aging process to the tonewood — ‘Thermo Aged’ tone wood, made by a special drying process at a high temperature which is commonly known as baking or torrefaction. Only choice selected and seasoned tone wood can be cured to Thermo Aged wood.

The wood is heated in a vacuum with a specific recipe for each kind of the wood in order to release water and decompose resin contained within the wood. As a result, Thermo Aged tone wood becomes light, hard and stable like tone wood dried for decades, while providing amazing response and a louder sound. The tone character includes a full-bodied low-end and a great smooth sustain in the treble strings which are common features of vintage guitars.
