subject: Your Guide To Buying An Ibanez Acoustic Guitar [print this page] Inspired by the sounds of Spain, this Japanese guitar company primarily known for its electrics has been producing some of the best acoustics around.
Here are a few tips to choosing the Ibanez acoustic guitar that's just not a great deal, but is right for you.
Tip No.1: The Cutaway Question
Sure, the sound is important. Ibanez acoustic guitars are known for their heady tone stellar electronics.
But it's also important your guitar look good. If you want that sharp cutaway look, than you'll want to go with an ambiance, ae, montage, V, Talman and Signaure series models.
If you want a more dreadnought look you'll want artwood, Sage or PF series guitars.
Tip No.2: The Sound Question
Like the Ibanez electrics, the acoustics are famous for their fast action. But if you want a robust higher end you'll want to go with an Ibanez DT 10 or an Ibanez Talman.
Ibanez acoustic guitars are known for sounding great plugged or unplugged. But the AE series, biggest geetars in the line, have some serious projection. If you're looking to drown out annoying people at a party or simply have major volume when plugged in, you can't go wrong with the AE series.
Tip No.3: The Celeb Question
Newbies may be dying for a signature series Steve Vai guitar. But at 2 grand, it may be more guitar than you actually need.
For newbies, I recommend going with an Ibanez acoustic package. You get: a tuner, picks, a case--and an awesome guitar.
If you're a pro, than a Satriani or Vai signature model might be just what you need. Not only do they sound utterly fantastic--but they'll also impress the ladies. (If they've ever heard of Satriani, that is.)
