Woods and hardware
The Nyatoh neck in the Artcore AS neck profile with slim design and good accessibility of the high registers of the 22-fret walnut fingerboard provides a harmonious feeling. The AS53-TRF is completed by solid Hardware in the form of an Ibanez Gibraltar Performer bridge with matching Quik Change III tailpiece.
Was looking for an entry level jazz guitar and this one got very good revues on youtube so I decided to give it a shot. First impressions, very good build quality (mines an Indonesian), positive feel tuners, great acoustic sound and after a bit of setup, a really low action. No problem getting a jazzy sound from the neck pickup. I will probably add heavier strings later. Absolutely recommen this guitar as a quality all rounder.
