About This Listing

This particular guitar is in excellent condition. There may be the smallest scuff or two. It was only used very moderately.

The Ibanez AF75 is a hollow body electric guitar that produces a truly beautiful sound; this instrument truly has a full and rich tone that you can only really produce a high-quality hollow body electric guitar.

If you’ve ever had the luxury of playing a hollow body electric guitar, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

The Ibanez AF75 is of the best hollow body electric guitars in its price range and it is one that a lot of musicians in the community would highly recommend.

The AG75 gives you the rich, complex tones you can only get from a true, full-hollow guitar.

The resonation that the Ibanez AF75 produces is something that you would be expected to hear on a guitar that costs several thousands of dollars, as it produces an incredibly full and rich sound.

The biggest perk that comes with playing a hollow body electric guitar is that you don’t need to have your instrument plugging into an amp in order to play the guitar; you can play the AF75 without an amplifier and still have your instrument’s sound be heard well.

One of the biggest problems that can be found with playing hollow body electric guitar is that they need to retune often; however, while the AF75 does need retuning from time to time, it does not need re-tuning as nearly as often as other hollow body guitars on the market that have a similar price tag for the AF75.

When physically holding the AF75 electric guitar, you’re going to really be able to feel that you’re playing a hollow body electric guitar. Since the body of the guitar is hollow, it’s going to feel like you’re holding an instrument that’s extremely delicate and fragile, but that’s not the case when you’re holding the AF75.

This is an extremely sturdy instrument for a hollow body guitar, which means you won’t have to be super paranoid about damaging the instrument. The biggest complaint that a lot of musician’s experience when playing the AF75 is that you may experience some feedback at high volumes on the AF75.

The Ibanez AF75 has two closed-cover humbuckers, a binding on the neck, f-holes, body, and headstock. The tuners are very comparable to Grover tuners, are they are incredibly accurate and very smooth.

There are a trapeze and floating bridge combination that provides the AF75 with an open sound that’s airy and light. As for the toggles and switches that are available on the AF75, there is a three-way toggle that doesn’t jam and is easy to reach; there is also an individual volume knob and control knob.

Single cutaway body construction

White binding

Sound

If you’re looking for an electric guitar that produces an airy and open sound that would fit in with music that was produced in the 50s, 60s, and/or 70s or you’re looking to produce music that fits in the Jazz or Blues genre, the AF75 may be the best electric guitar for you.

While this would also be a guitar that would suit soft rock well, the original factory pickup that is installed in the AF75 just isn’t strong enough to compete in thrash metal, hard rock, or heavy metal.

The Ibanez AF75 doesn’t do very well when on stage with a band that has a loud stage presence because the electric guitar will provide some feedback if it happens to be placed to lose to an amplifier.

However, the overall sound of this guitar is clear, crisp, fresh, and refined without having that edgy sound that the Strat provides musicians, but is more mellow than a Les Paul.

Playability

The neck of the Ibanez AF75 has a short feel to it, which provides users with the ability to play quickly on the neck without having to worry about hand cramping. There is a nice tapering to the neck of the guitar that allows an easier time sliding your hand up and down the neck of the guitar.

As for the overall weight of the guitar, this is a lightweight guitar that doesn’t wear too heavy on the wrists and the shoulders of the musician, which helps to increase the longevity of playability.

The strings that are currently installed on this guitar are generic light gauge strings. You may want to try a heavier gauge for a warmer sound. I had lighter string because I was trying to get an acoustic guitar sound.
