I was just telling someone that companies like ibanez need to put something like a aura in all of their guitars. They always look nice but I wouldn’t buy one because they look great for performance, not necessarily great sounding acoustically but if the plugged sound was good i would buy one
@@datboi4216 I like it because I know how to get the most out of it, I look at it as an electric player and as a sound designer and mix engineer. Most people don't like it because they plug it straight to DI and expect it to sound perfect, but in reality a pickup is a pickup and not a microphone. Just like how an electric guitar needs processing in order to get the sound you want (yes, amps are a form of processing), then so does an acoustic with a Piezo. It needs the right EQ, compression and reverb (look at the videos they did with Mike Dawes for example), I even tried it with the Plexi channel of my Friedman IRX (tube guitar preamp, not meant for acoustics lol) with the IR section turned off, might not sound like a mic'd up acoustic but definitely has its own thing going on.
I've been after an electric Nylon for some time, I am super into this one, but I might wait a bit and spend that bit extra to get the one with the knobs.
Hi there. Great playing as Always. Fine guitars too. Got myself an ae295 Lefty a few years back. Great allrounder with a darker Tone. Love it. Hardly Plug it in, but feel Like Ben concerning the preamp Boots. Keep ist in the middle.
Jeezus Ben top demo again. You have the nack of picking the best wee tunes to show off the instruments best qualities. Great pickin as usual guys. 🏴👍👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas
Great playing as always, Ben! Agree on your favourite; not least because it has open-geared tuners, which really lifts the look of the guitar in my opinion. Does this mean Ibanez are upgrading their semi-acoustic range too?
I have the guitar at the 5:00 mark along with the thinner AEW version they make. Both guitars sort of feel like you're playing an electric guitar - In my opinion very comfortable to play. Neither one is the best sounding acoustic guitar in the world as they are fairly small. The thinner one came with sand paper frets and both are starting to have fret buzz because of un even frets. I believe I fixed a few fret sprout issues as well. I assume way more expensive acoustics don't come with fret issues? Other than the fret issues, the thinner version is probably my favorite guitar I have.
I have a big Ibanez. I believe it’s a dreadnought it’s got lve on the fingerboard to I have two Ibanez guitars. I love both of them. I’ve had them for a long time they’re great guitars I don’t care if they’re made in China they’re still good guitars.🎸🎸
please please do electric nylon comparison video, seems like there's a growing market there. Ibanez TOD10N and FRH10N, Cordoba Stage, Cort Sunset-NY, SQOE's SEGD-600, to name a bunch.
The magnetic pickup sounds best to my ears. Surprises me that piezo under saddle are the most common on steel strings. Having said that piezo with nylon strings works pretty well
I have a black version of the AE with the vine inlays The guitars body is absolutely enormously massive The scallop bridge helps keep tune with lower tunings It does help alot I play a whole step down And for this the guitar is great It also has a slightly longer scale length then others Im torn... because the portability is very poor Im going to sell it and get something smaller Going to lose some sound... though for sure
IBANEZ FRH10N How much of a problem is it in a live concert, because the guitar doesn't have EQ and volume? is that sound in the guitar enough and does it cause problems with feedback?
Love watching your videos. I have a suggestion for content. How about doing a regular feature whereby you follow up on someone who has purchased some gear from Andertons to see how they are getting on. E.g. Check and see how a beginner is progressing with a guitar starter pack. Or how an intermediate player has upgraded to a higher spec guitar or how a Pro musician is using gear. I think it would make interesting viewing plus you may discover new guest presenter talent. Cheers 😀🎸🎶
I have the AEG70 with Tiger Burst Flamed Maple top. It's the best acoustic I've Ever had. I see Ben is in Full Epileptic Mode Today. It's Quite Unnerving!
@madgebishop5409 I get building the hype but in reality the hype is done. I had forgot about these until I seen this video. Went for a look and they are not available. So they just make another video when we can buy them? Nah, I have been saving for an acoustic for a while so will probably get a godin multiac if a good one comes up. Might be a little more expensive than these but it's something you can actually buy.
It's great that they play well, but Ibanez really continues to struggle with aesthetics. The matte blue is pretty cool, and purple is purple if that's your thing. But regardless of "taste" the bursts just look so cheap and amateur. The orange stripe across the headstock of the "expensive" one is just hideous.
You tell all about the guitar but you never tell the price in American money yeah I don’t think you ever even quote a price on any of these guitars what’s up with that?
Nothing new with the FRN 10 N ultra thin classical guitar since Godin has had one available for decades. Sting used it on his first solo recordings. The idea is very good since many players in a gigging Rock band play a few acoustic tunes which they use bigger compromises. I myself retired my acoustic for an electric semi acoustic. Of course the sound is not the same but I have no need to compromise my technique or need to dumb down my parts. I do find a chorus pedal set lightly does remove any metallic sound and removes any drastic change to the ascetic.
