Pickups and Hardware
Sonically, in-house Ibanez ClassicElite humbuckers are used in both the neck and bridge positions, with a sound that ranges from clear cleans to powerful gain tones for all kinds of fun. The Ibanez Artcore AS73FM is completed by solid Hardware in the form of an ART-1 bridge with matching Quik Change III tailpiece.
I don't have a lot of experience of 12 string guitars and certainly never owned one before. However, I love the sound on iconic tracks/bands so fancied filling this hole in my guitar collection. After a bit of research the Ibanez seemed to fit the bill so I took the plunge. DV247 Music Store had the guitar in stock and it arrived about a week after ordering as had to come from Germany (post brexit customs delays), well packed and set-up right out of the box - even almost in tune - Well done to the techs in the store. The guitar plays wonderfully, a great feeling neck - much slimmer than I was expecting, and great all round sounds. I would recommend to anyone new to 12 strings...and great value at the price point.
