Ibanez AVNZ15LTD Artwood Parlor Acoustic Guitar

This particular model offers an interesting combination of conventional and exotic tonewood for the body, resulting in a parlor guitar that has a crisp and clear voicing that is more similar to that of modern acoustics. Being a limited edition instrument, it will only be available for a very limited number, with only 30 planned for release in the USA. This means that you're getting a possible future collector's item without having to deal with museum level price tags and maintenance issues.

The top of the AVNZ15LTD is crafted from solid sitka spruce, commonly used on acoustics because of its resonance, reliability and more importantly because it ages gracefully. This choice of topwood dictates much of the output tone character, which is quite similar to regular sized acoustics.

Supporting the top of the guitar are back and sides crafted from Ziricote, a type of wood that has unique spider webbing like patterns and a very earthy color scheme. It provides a nice dark contrast to the light colored natural high gloss finish solid sitka spruce top, and gives the instrument the appearance of age. While it looks different, it behaves much like Indian rosewood, which results in a clean and clear tone ideal for fingerpicking styles.
