Ibanez AF125 Amber Burst 2010 Hollow Body Electric Guitar

This is an Ibanez AF125 Hollow Body Electric Guitar in Amber Burst finish. Made in China in 2010, this guitar consists of a Quilted Maple body, a 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include an ART-1 bridge, VT-04 Tailpiece with a Rosewood cover, and a set of Ibanez die-cast tuners with white acrylic half moon buttons. The guitar is fitted with two Ibanez Super 58 Humbuckers which are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls and a 3-way pickup selector.

The AF125 was designed to tailor for traditional Jazz players, with the fully hollow body design combined with the Maple tonewoods offering a resonant tone well suited to Jazz. Unlike other larger Jazz style guitars however, this instrument offers a comfortable feel in the hands with a slim profile allowing for smooth navigation in all registers of the neck. A Venetian cutaway provides full access to the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.

The pair of Ibanez “Super 58” humbuckers provide classic jazz voicings whilst also being versatile enough to cover a wide variety of tonal styles. They are clear and articulate, and while they are not best suited to high gain they respond well to low/mid overdrive, great for solos or an extra bit of grit. The bridge pickup has beautiful clarity, allowing for shimmering trebles to ring through whilst the middle position is the best of both the neck and bridge pickup, creating smooth and defined voicings. The neck position has rounded creamer tones great for chordal phrasings or quick jazz style lines, offering plenty of room for tonal scaping.
