Key Features
Product Ref: 106190
A maple hollowbody design gives the AF71F a bright and resonant tone with complex overtones created by the large internal space. The body has a classic "jazz box" proportion that is ideal for traditional mellow-jazz tones with great clarity and nuance. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard enhances the AF71F's low-end articulation and stability, along with providing a smooth playing-feel for the left hand.
Hollow body guitars originally found popularity in traditional jazz styles, based on the original electric-acoustic guitar design. As pickups were developed over the decades, these guitars developed into genre-spanning instruments and will work equally well in blues, rock, country, pop, funk and soul musical styles. This is a great guitar to give you access to a wide range of genres with a convincing sound and classy aesthetic.
The AF71F has a traditional aesthetic based on the "jazz box" guitar; this is created by its f-hole adorned body, white binding, block fingerboard inlays, and the "floating" tortoiseshell-coloured pickguard. The ART-1 bridge is sat on a wood mount for a traditional aesthetic, whilst the bridge itself provides the tuning stability and setup adjustments required by modern players.
A simple yet elegant VT06 tailpiece completes the classic hardware aesthetic, while the Tobacco Brown finish gives the AF71F a decades-old design that is steeped in heritage.
The Ibanez AF71F is loaded with a single Classic Elite humbucker in the neck position. This pickup gives you a warm tone with great clarity and a fat low-end; perfect for jazz players. The AF71F has a simple yet versatile volume and tone control layout, giving you just enough tone-sculpting potential to span different musical genres.
The Classic Elite pickup makes the most of the vibrant hollow body and helps to amplify every little nuance of your playing with great accuracy.
A graduated-thickness mahogany neck (21mm at 1st fret to 24mm at 9th fret) gives a classic feel reminiscent of vintage guitars. The 20 medium frets are mounted on a 305mm radius rosewood fingerboard, which will provide a smooth playing surface for any genre of music. The single cutaway body assists with top-fret access, while the svelte body design (with lighter weight courtesy of the hollow chamber) ensures a comfortable feel whether stood up or sat down.
