Strings are Elixir nanoweb, 11. As for the guitar my main hollow body is now a Sadowsky semi hollow, www.sadowsky.com/sadowsky-instruments/archtops/semi-hollow/
@@dariusscheider311 May I ask why? I picked up a used AS153 at GC and am considering exchanging for something else (I still have a few days to decide.) Not sure why I am not in love with it (although hearing you play it makes me wonder). Since you are so good, though, I would heed your reasoning on why you switched brands. Maybe there is something to my discontent with the Ibanez....? Thank you in advance!
@@cathytaibbi1945 The AS153 was fine but there was a part of the tone that was bothering me sometimes while playing, I was able to avoid it on that video. I would recommend that you check the Sadowsky semi- hollow, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TvdfzPvfxOk.html it is the best semi hollow I have ever played. Killer tone and playability. The body size is also custom and extremely comfortable.
i can understand why the Sadowsky ($5000) wins in a landslide over the $1000 AS 153. It cannot be a fair comparison because the two guitars are in such a vastly different price and quality range. The Ibanez is very good for what it is, but comparing the Sadowsky to it is kind of like comparing a concert level violin to a student model. The Sadowsky costs even far more than a Gibson ES 335, which is certainly not cheap by any means. .
