I FINALLY DECIDED THAT I WAS LIKE SOOOO SICK OF HAVING A NEWBIE TITLE FOR 2 YEARS SO I LIKE BROKE DOWN SINCE I'M MAKING THE BIG BUX IN IRAQ AND DECIDED TO
Ibanez Acoustic-Electric AEF18ENT

Price Paid/NEW - $450/600

Year - 2003 early 04?

Specs:
PEARL DOT Inlay
GLOSS Finish
SPRUCE Top
MAHOGANY Back/Sides
DIE-CAST (CH) Tuners
B-BAND / IBANEZ SQR PICKUP SRT PREAMP W/ ONBOARD TUNER

Sound: 4/5 - The sound on this guitar is great. It's got a very deep tone for a cutaway, very tight bass and warm highs. Sometimes I can hear a rattle, but that's probably more attributed to my horrible technique, because I hear it on almost every acoustic I play. It sounds just as good plugged.

Playability: 5/5 - Neck = heaven. It's like playing a stratocaster, thin and fast. The action is very low for an acoustic, and the only time I ever have to tune it is changing strings. Besides, the look of the spruce top MAKES me want to play it. I wish I had brought it to Iraq and not that lovely FirstAct that I bought just for here.

Overall Value: 5/5 - For the price, it sounds awesome. I've even dropped it once or twice. It's been on deployments with me to Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas so it's a very well built guitar. I was never a big fan of Ibanez until I got this at Guitar Center at the beginning '04, but I'd definately buy another ibanez instrument after having this one, maybe even an electric.

COMING SOON:
Digitech DF-7 Distortion Factory
Digitech RP-50
Dunlop Original Cry Baby Wah
Fender Jaguar HH
