Ibanez

Description

Ibanez has long described Artwood as a "modern approach to acoustic guitar tradition." Now, with the 22.8" scale AVT1NT Artwood Vintage Tenor Acoustic Guitar, Ibanez delves fathoms deeper into guitar building tradition. The AVT1NT promises to return the tenor guitar back to it's rightful place in the folk instrument pantheon. It features a bone nut to deliver a well-balanced sound and a bone saddle on a distinctively contoured rosewood bridge. Ideal for strummers and traveling musicians who want to keep their chops up, this smaller-bodied guitar gives you plenty of tone and projection despite its smaller frame thanks to the combination of solid Sitka spruce top, magohany neck, back and sides, and rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a black and white multi-rosette, and open gear tuners with pearl buttons.

    Tuned the same as octave mandolin so it is easy to transition to.

  • Quality guitar, body a little small

    A really fun little tenor guitar. Reminds me of my 1st guitar, which was a tenor also, but this one is a little small in the body, even for a parlor size with a consequent lessening of volume and tone. Would be a great intro for beginner or switch from baritone ukulele.

  • Top cracked 18 months later from bridge to end

    It would have been great if the top didn't crack 18 months later. This instrument has been treated with care by me only, who spent most of my life as a classical guitarist. I was told Guitar Center could not help me with this issue.

  • Surprisingly good sound and decent guitar

    I just got this yesterday from the guitar center, which I ordered over the phone. I am a life-long classical guitarist, turned uke/dulcimer player. Starting listening to these on youtube and kept coming back to this one as the best I could do. Finally ordered it and waited for it trying to resign myself to it not being anything really special at this price. Well, I almost fell over when I heard it, was stunned at the beautiful bell-like ringing sound of it. Love the long, lean shape. It fit nicely into a classical guitar hard-shell case I put a blanket in to take up the slack. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I thought the action could have been lower. But, as I decided to tune it down a whole step anyway, at least no buzzing. I tell you I'm really excited about this new find, and having had one in my hands for one day wonder why tenors haven't caught on like ukes.

  • Just plain fun!

    I was thrilled when I saw that Ibanez had come out with a tenor guitar. I currently own a Goldtone tenor and it is a blast to play. With only four strings, the chords are a breeze and I use it as my number one instrument for songwriting. Its compact size travels well and it is a real featherweight. I can't rate the Ibanez. I've never seen one. What I can say is that tenor guitars are NOT a kid's guitar or a toy. The are beautiful instruments and one should be in your collection.
