Ibanez - AM93QA VVH

Look at that quilted ash: it's like a guitar straight out of an art gallery, the Ibanez AM93QA VVH doesn't just look great with its High Gloss varnish, it uses this wood to deliver a harmonic clarity you won't find anywhere else. Each pattern in the wood tells a different story, making your instrument a personal object. It's a far cry from conventional industrial finishes - here, the visual serves the prestige!

The glued neck, a skilful blend of nyatoh and maple, stabilises the whole for lossless vibration transmission. On the Macassar ebony fingerboard, your glides gain in fluidity thanks to the greater density of the wood. The 22 medium frets deliver your phrasing with merciless accuracy. It's the kind of neck that makes you feel like a better guitarist from the first time you pick it up, whether you're at home or in rehearsal.

The two Super 58 pickups inject a dose of pure Alnico character into your amp. These are the same pickups that the giants of jazz and rock used to forge the history of music. They handle light saturation with British phlegm and literally sing on clean tones. The Gibraltar Performer bridge locks in your tuning, allowing you to make straightforward attacks without fear of a false note in the middle of a chorus.

The agility of a solid body, the soul of a hollow: the AM format takes up less space without sacrificing signal depth. It's the intelligent alternative for those who find jazz bass drums too imposing for the duration of a concert. The Quik Change III tailpiece saves the day on express string changes, while adding a luxurious golden touch to the hardware. It's a formidable working tool that never sacrifices its natural elegance.
