Ibanez AW54 OPN Review & Ascendas anthem SL knockoff Review
Вставка

- Hey friends, i'm here to review another Ibanez acoustic guitar. This one is the AW54OPN. This is a solid Okume(mahogany top) Laminated back and sides. Very cool guitar. I think this guitar is an awesome deal for around $200. Great for a beginner or someone who's been playing awhile!
I'm also reviewing a pickup I found on amazon that mimics the really awesome LR baggs anthem SL. This pickup is called the Ascendas Folk guitar pickup. It looks very similar to the anthem SL. Here is a link to the Pickup on amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...

I hope you like the review...let me know!
Thanks much I just bought one to get back into playing thanks to your great video of this thing. (I am from the caribou ranch days in colorado), Stills, Fogelberg, Walsh, etc. great times. Best studio in history to me and many real artist. I am a pianist at heart but in my soul there is those days sitting on top of a mountain with my guitar.
I appreciate what you are doing. You provide a service to guitar players who are not snobs and on a budget
Thank you…there is a lot of gear out there that is affordable and super awesome. My goal is to find it and test it, and spread the word about it!
I have the same one. Man, i never tought is sounds so nice:D You play wonderful
Your a Legend brother, thanks for sharing thus with a begginer like me. Makes my life so much easier when trying to choose which guitar to buy. Your a Rockstar bro 👑
Thank you did a great job with this guitar...sounds awsome
Hi Joey. I'm Jesse. The Ibanez that you played in this video sounds great. I didn't hear any buzzing. Just impressive tone and resonance of sound. I was interested in a Yamaha FS800. However, since I watched your video, I think that the Ibanez sounds better than the Yamaha. I have only been playing guitar for about two years now. But in that time I have developed a sense of hearing the sonic limitations of my Jasmine guitar. And I think an upgrade is overdue. So with that being said I really look forward to playing this IbanezAW54OPN at my local guitar store. And then purchasing it as soon as I can. Thanks again for the guitar review.
Great job , sounds awsome...
thanks
I have that guitar and mounted jjb-electronics prestige 330 pickup (a k&k pure type of pickup) and it is amazing.. With a graphtech saddle and bridge and some Elixir strings rulz..
The pickup sounds great… just like the mic. Was you direct with the pickup or blended with mic?
I love Nickel strings, I have been playing them for years on my acoustics. The phos strings sound too bright when I put them on now. The guitar sounds wonderful!
Hi dad!!!
Hey this was an excellent review but was wondering is this guitar worth the money.. any like long term review....
I was looking this guitar for like a worship type of music with like a nice bass and balanced treble... So any review would be great
Hey, yea a great guitar for a worship setting! I put a passive Jjb prestige 330 in it since the video amd it sounds great in that setting!
I’ve seen countless reviews of this guitar, and some were by a handful of lifelong professional players. They say it sounds as nice as 800 to 1200 dollar guitars, at around 240 including tax. Very impressive build and construction quality as well, noted by all.
Pickup has more metalic and electric taste in it, and mic feels a little warmer. Both sound great. That what I can tell.
Can you do a comparison between this and AC340?
which one do you prefer?
Hey, unfortunately I have sold both of these guitars. Here’s my comparison after owning both of them. They each have their own positives. I like the small size of the AC and it tends to sit in a mix a little better. If I was doing solo acoustic shows without a band I would play the aw, because it’s a dreadnought and fills more sonic space. Also, I will say that the AC seems to feel more premium in your hands over the AW as well. Could be because of the nice binding and stuff. They both sounded equally good plugged in after I installed the jjb prestige 330! Hope this helps.
Joey Yandell are you kin to the great guitarist Paul Yandell.
great guitaris who played 2nd fiddle to Chet.
How are the new Ibanez AAD guitars as compared to this?
I can’t say specifically, I’ve not played any of the AAD series. But overall I’ve been very impressed with both Ibanez acoustics that I’ve owned!
This or the Fender CD60 mahogany version? Thanks!
@@exionem never played the fender, but this Ibanez is an incredible value!
It a set of Elixir 80/20 12-53 they will make it sing off the chart I have this guitar and tried various brands n type buy trust me you won’t regret the Elixirs
The nickel sound dead out the packet to me
I heard someone yell out laminated
Wow…
is it playable for small hands?
I would say so, smaller but width than a Martin, very comfortable neck!
Plays OK when new, quality is terrible. Will fall apart. You get what you pay for.
