    What an awesome demo! I’ve pulled these off the wall at Guitar Center a bunch of times. I’ve always been tempted, but I have several semi-hollow bodies. This is the first playing demo I’ve heard and you really made me want one!!

    Very nice Jack. Great playing, great tones. That guitar sounds very good. For the price it’s amazing.

    From Leo: Good presentation Jack. I never owned a 55, but had the big brother AF95. It was every bit as good as my Joe Pas Epiphone. Great playing guitar, but it will squeal like crazy with gain and volume. If I am not playing clean, I use a solid body. The one problem I had was the bridge skating around, drifting the intonation. I got some strips of weak double sided tape for taping posters to drywall without damage. (office supply store) That cured the bridge drift problem, and is easy to remove. I did not want to permanently pin it like rockers used to do. .

    Nice! For some reason, I was craving some wah on that last overdriven lick.

    I have played this same guitar recently and really like the tone of it...has a softer old school tone of the 50s-60s tone about it like the epiphone casino...more leaning on the jazz side of tone...

    i 've had the left hand af55 and like that it's easy to play for an intermediate level player compared to my other acoustic folk guitar. i still have the original strings on it and they feel nice and soft on the fingers and barre chords are way easier to play. i like to play rock, folk, beatles, country and some jazz standsrds. i'm getting better at it and i sing ok too i think. thnx for the info.

      Don't. Safe a bit more money and get a higher model from Ibanez. That guitar is really as basic as it gets and it looks crap. You will regret it very soon. I bought one when I was pissed and gave it away for free. I could not bare looking at it. The pickups are good though.

    Question : You claim this is maple, is this real wood, or what is the Body of the Guitar made from ? Anyone?

    I just bought this guitar. But I’m not getting the fat sound I was looking for. What do you recomend for me to thicken the sound on it.

    • @sovka8394
      @sovka8394 4 місяці тому +1

      As simple as it sounds, just play with Equalizer on your amp or pedal. I have this guitar and i can get pretty fat sound with it.

      A simple valve amp might do the trick…

      I use the neck pickup with the tone rolled off, to really warm it up. (I own the guitar in the vid BTW.)

    4:00 can’t you just tape up the f holes to stop feedback?

    • @JackFossett
      @JackFossett  4 місяці тому +3

      Im not sure taping it would help, but I have heard about people stuffing t shirts inside the sound cavity.

    A kind of cigar box with strings . Mine is hanging at the wall. I don't like to play it ...

    You definitely use the wrong amp for this guitar.
