Description Body Color: Vioin Burst Body Type: Hollow String Configuration: 6 String Model: AF105 Custom Brand: Ibanez Dexterity: Right-Handed
You will not find a better playing jazz box on here for anywhere near the money!The finish work is unbeleviable-most especially the fretwork. The frets are silky smooth with rounded ends that feel smooth and slinky. You generally don't find fretwork this good until you move up to higher end American made guitars at 2-3 times the price.This one just received a fresh set up that includes: 13 guage flatwound strings (set up for jazz), truss rod adjustment, string height adjustment, intonation set (floating bridge adjusted), hardware tighten, body polish and overall check up. Check out the picture of the action at the 12th fret. It's crazy low with no buzzing or dead frets. You won't believe how well this guitar plays with such heavy strings and those heavy strings give the guitar unbelievably lush, thick jazz tones!Comes with original hardshell case and "tune-0-matic" bridge in case you want to set it up for playing blues (which it also excels at).PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT OFFER INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. IF YOU LIVE IN ALASKA OR HAWAII, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR A SHIPPING QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING. PLEASE MAKE YOUR PAYMENT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION.

It is part of the Artcore Custom line and features many fancy appointments such as flamed maple top, back and sides, flamed maple pickguard, 5-piece maple/bubinga 22 fret neck, abalone inlay, with rosewood tailpiece and control knobs. The pickups are both Super 58 models. Included with the guitar are the ART-1 (tuneomatic type) and a traditional wood bridge either of which sit on top of a wood base. You can easily interchange either one. The reviewed guitar was set up with the wood bridge and .012-.054 flatwound strings for jazz styles of playing. The finish and fretwork was flawless and the frets are a larger modern size. All 4 of the control pots had a nice smooth, silky feel to them and had a nice range of control.Setting up the guitar was a breeze and the neck was very responsive to truss rod adjustments. I could get the neck to be absolutely straight and have no buzzing or fretting out the entire length of the neck including where the neck joins the body which can be a problem area for some archtop guitars. The modern size frets felt great to play on and you could actually bend the higher gauge flatwound strings. The neck shape was comfortable and it felt somehow “proper” to play meaning that it made the guitar feel much more expensive than it is. All of the abalone inlay work looked very clean and added to the overall aesthetic look of the guitar. A contributing factor to the comfort is the 16″ body and 24-3/4″ scale length which is a welcome attribute to smaller sized players.Overall this is a great bang for the buck guitar and many jazz players often purchase them for situations where they do not want to bring their very expensive and often very sensitive guitars but want great tone and playability. In live situations the Af105-NT sounded and felt great for playing jazz and blues both standing and seated.
