The African Mahogany and Pau Ferro 5pc neck has enhanced durability. Macassar Ebony fretboard produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain. For a better percussive sound, the Macassar Ebony bridge features a top loading system without a bridgepin. It also offers a fast and easy method for string changes. Developed for modern fingerstyle players, the asymmetric jumbo body features a low-end focused sound and tapping friendly shape. A 25 3/4 inch scale helps to maintain proper tension and pitch even while down tuning, a technique modern finger players often utilize. This scale-length also delivers improved sustain. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, features strategically positioned tone and finger braces, which transmit string vibration more efficiently through the bridge to the body, greatly enhancing the quality and projection of the sound. Ibanez Custom Electronics amplify the signal of each pickup naturally throughout the entire tonal spectrum. Blending the Contact pickup with the Magnetic pickup provides more natural acoustic tone. This pickup combination enhances the depth of the sound and the tonal brightness. It especially excels for solo fingerstyle players or in a small acoustic ensemble. Ibanez Gig bags are made out of durable materials.
