New guitar day! Ibanez AEG10NE Nylon String (pics)

[Chris]

Just brought this guy home. I wasn't even shopping for a new guitar, just meeting up with Drew to check out some Mesa heads and grab his Nomad to drop off at the repair shop by my house.

Once I picked it up, I couldn't walk out of the store without it.

The neck of the AEG10NE is much thinner than a traditional nylon-string guitar, making it perfect for players who find other classical necks too wide and uncomfortable. A beautifully resonant Spruce top sits on a slim Mahogany body offering vibrant tone and total playing comfort. The Ibanez AEQ-SST Shape Shifter preamp with built-in tuner combined with the Fishman Sonicore pickup give the AEG10NE a rich tone not usually available in this price range. Appointed with gold classical tuners, Abalone rosette and multi-ply body binding. Case not included.

The thing sounds fantastic.

Nice, man! I've been searching for nylon acoustic lately too. How much?

 

[eleven59]

Very nice

I like the little "Made In China" thrown in to completely destroy any shred of authenticity to the lettering not far above

 

[Chris]

No shit eh? It's like an "Authentic Picasso painting" with a "Powered by Adobe" watermark on it.

 

[Michael]

That's fuckin' nice, Chris. I've been saving for a new guitar lately and I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about spending it on a nice new acoustic. If I did, it'd be one like this.

 

[Chris]

I hope I don't break a string anytime soon, because I have NO fucking idea how to change them.

Nice score!

Now go learn "Little Guitars"

 

[technomancer]

Nice

Now they need to make one in a seven string

 

[B Lopez]

Nice guitar. I've always wanted another nylon string after I got rid of my first one. They just have that sound, ya know.

It's easier than it seems

Metallica "Unforgiven"

 

[Chris]

Fuck Metallica, I'm bustin' out some Jesse Cook CDs.

 

[The Dark Wolf]

Man, do I want one of those Gianinni 7-string classical guitars.

Nic score, Chris. You can probably get some ball-end classical strings for that thing. I use them on mine sometimes. As for tying the ends off, it's not too hard. Lots of online tutorials out there, I'm sure.

 

[Shawn]

Nice! I actually played one of those when I went shopping with my parents to score my mother a new Ibanez acoustic, those play nice. Congrats!

 

[darren]

Wow... that's beautiful! How does it sound?

 

[Kotex]

Don't worry about the strings. I thought that exact same thing, but B Lopez is right. It's easier than it seems.
Things looks really fucking nice though. Good Score dude.

 

[yevetz]

Oh I know this this guitar it's very very good

Congrats

 

[Chris]

Wow... that's beautiful! How does it sound?

Absolutely amazing. By itself, the sound is a little thin because the body is so thin. Drew even mentioned when I first picked it up that it sounds better standing in front of it than when playing it, which is the case I suppose with all acoustics.

But through the pickup into my amp, it's abso-fucking-lutely GORGEOUS sounding. I know that the best way to record acoustics is to mic the soundhole, but sometimes you just want to plug the sucker in and do some jamming. I always hated how the wound strings on regular acoustics sounded great, but the unwound B/E strings sounded way too "round" and out of place through the magnetic pickup. This guy sounds completely uniform all the way up the neck, very warm and not too bright.

I love it. I'd been jonesing for a nylon for ages but never found a decent one with a cutaway and onboard pickup for less than $700-800. I can't believe this is a $300 guitar.

 

[Satch]

Bring that thing by man.. I'm dying to get one.

I was not expecting that to have been that cheap
