"A KEEPER"

Music Background: Hobbyist
I rented this guitar with the thought of purchasing it in mind. A good friend of mine who is a true "Guitar Virtuoso"(that in his over 40 years of playing has rubbed elbows and swapped licks with the ... read more [+] likes of Jan Ackerman and Lenny Breau just to name a couple)came to visit and took this AF105 for a test drive....the words "It's A Keeper"came out of his mouth....as a "newbie" ( almost 3 years) into the world of guitar playing I felt honoured to have that compliment in developing a relatively good eye for a guitar so soon..I've picked up and tried out probably 500 guitars in 3 short years and I'm convinced that for the price point...the Ibanez AF105 is very hard to beat if it can be beat....the external beauty of the piece doesn't stop there as the fit and finish along with the general construction are excellent and the sound that comes from it is oh so very sweet.... close [-]
ibanez af105 / unbelievable tone!!!

Music Background: 21years guitar/ 30 years blues harp.... just getting started
this guitar is built for tone.... first ,take a look at the tailpiece behind the bridge; it is 1/2" thick piece of solid rosewood (called a cello tailpiece)and adds alot of character of the tone...it ... read more [+] has a tune-o-matic bridge but, comes with an extra rosewood one, you can swap out for even more tonal quality...the '58 humbuckers have great range and clarity. string height was set low and intonation perfect out of the box (first time I see that on an electric)....great inlay work all over,the volume and tone knobs are made from rosewood and it seems even the pickgaurd is from the same nice maple as the body. now factor in the hardshell case off the price.this guitar is a winner in all aspects!!! #1 sound/tone #2quality #3looks #4 value close [-]

Overall, the best guitar I've ever owned
by Zach from Boston, MA

Music Background: Student studying jazz guitar
This guitar gets great marks in all categories: Tone, playability, looks, and price.
Tone: exactly what you'd expect. Dynamic, warm, bell-like notes. I had planned on replacing the pic ... read more [+]kups after I bought it, but the tone is great with the stocks, so I'm leaving it alone for now. This guitar is the best-sounding I've ever had. 5/5
Playability: Pretty good, but could be better. I've played Ibanez semihollows which had better action. But this is still very good, it's just not the BEST I've ever had. 4/5
Looks: Stunning. Gorgeous. Elegant. Detailed. Clean. 5/5
Price: Ridiculously cheap for a hollowbody like this. 5/5
Miscellaneous caveats: The bridge is not anchored down so you have to be careful, or you'll mess up your intonation. I only change one string at a time to keep it from moving (which is how I've read you SHOULD change strings anyway--it keeps the neck from being stressed from the subtraction and addition of so much tension). It's kind of annoying to change the strings, because of how they are inserted into the tailpiece. However, I gladly endure the extra couple minutes because it's such a fine instrument.
Overall: 4/5 close [-]
