Artwood Vintage steps even further back in history and borrows the best features of highly desired vintage instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Artwood Vintage series now showcases another vintage element by applying an \"aging\" process to the tonewood-Termo Aged \"tone wood, made by a special drying process at a high temperature which is commonly known as \"baking\" or \"torrefaction\". Only choice selected and seasoned tone wood can be cured to Thermo Aged wood. The wood is heated in a vacuum with a specific recipe for each kind of the wood in order to release water and decompose resin contained within the wood. As a result, Thermo Aged tone wood becomes light, hard and stable like tone wood dried for decades, while providing amazing response and a louder sound. The tone character includes a full-bodied low-end and a great smooth sustain in the treble strings which are common features of vintage guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dreadnought body shape of the AVD9, along with the Thermo Aged Solid Sitka Spruce top w\/Thermo Aged Spruce X bracing, delivers an enormous frequency range. Mahogany body back \u0026amp; sides w\/Tortoiseshell binding gives this guitar a true vintage vibe. The mahogany soft-V shape neck in satin finish with a Rosewood fretboard provides playing comfort. Open gear tuners w\/butterbean knobs(18:1 gear ratio) ensure accurate, stable tuning and help reduce the headstock weight, while bringing vintage vibe in its looks. A bone nut and saddle are chosen for its ability to transfer the string vibration naturally.  D'Addario  Nickel Bronze strings emphasize the natural voice of Thermo Aged wood with incredible clarity, resonance and projection.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreadnought Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermo Aged Solid Sitka Spruce Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermo Aged Spruce X Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany Back and Sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTortoiseshell body binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany Soft-V shape Neck (Satin finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood Fretboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone Nut and Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome Open Gear Tuners w\/Butterbean knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD'Addario Nickel Bronze strings, NB1253\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIbanez Advantage Bridge pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ibanez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33927372537991,"sku":"AVD9NT","price":634.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/ibanez-bass-guitars-4-string-ibanez-avd9-artwood-vintage-dreadnought-thermo-aged-sitka-acoustic-guitar-avd9nt-17216635764871.jpg?v=1647571994","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/ibanez-avd9-artwood-vintage-dreadnought-thermo-aged-632933","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
