Ben - you need to build your Ibanez signature (or any brand rly) and I will buy!!!

Sweeeegeeezus..................!

Hi Ben, great video, with two great guitars, and tone. Is there some compression going on there while recording the comparison?

Tanks

Am153 provides a sound like a solid guitar but a little wider

This video has come at exactly the right time I'm just in the Market for getting a jazz box.

Ben which guitar is better

I use tab for the fingering and the musical notation for the timing. The anti tab snobbery among my fellow classical guitarists is tiring. And yes, i play classical and I use tab. Why reinvent the wheel every single time?

Buttery smooth...sweet tone. Time to shop for one of these models.

Clean, 97% the same.

Great review thank you. MIJ is the way to go imo but the Indonesian 153 is also outstanding and great value. I wish Ibanez offered more pup options, like their super 70s which are hotter but as you roll the volume down you are back to the super58 sound. I think your as50 has V2 pups, which are even hotter than the super 70s.

Excuse me, which amp do you usually use? I'm considering buying this guitar, I'm a hobbyist and use a Fender Blues junior Lacquered tweed amp with an Ibanez tube screamer single pedal. It's alone around the house. I am a lover of clear sounds. Thanks

What strings do you have on the AM2000H?

P.S.: but I still love more your "old" strat sound!

To me the AM153QA is better with distorsion and pedals in general, having a more defined sound. The AM2000H is superior with clean sounds, and gets a bit more muddy with distorsion. ... need both! 😂

Can’t wait for your ibanez signature.

What guitar is that?

Great video, thank you! Both these quitars sound exquisite to my ear. I have the AM153QA, and I must say I love the Tri-sound switch and use it almost all the time. It makes the tonal range of this instrument surprisingly broad. I do quite a bit of session work and this has become my main instrument for nearly a year now. I get frequent compliments both in studio and on stage for its sonic characteristics and its lack of noise. By the way, I truly love your playing. Cheers!

Not much video out there covering these 2 Ibanez guitar. Thank you Ben for making this quality comparison video. 🙏🏽

Love Ibanez. i have mad brand loyalty to Ibanez.... i had the AS93 but sold it ..... i should have kept it and just bought the Gotoh tuners that they put on the AS113 and Scho models....i want to get another AS or even the Scho AS type but they all have that Scho teardrop burst which is a dealbreaker for me, i just missed the Yellow AS113 and it's hard to find a nice one where the 2 halves of flamed maple top line up nicely... The AS93 is still great but they took away the abalone on the fretboard on the recent AS93s

I think the S series 7 strings are peak ngl

The differences in tone are marginal, or very subtle IMHO. The AM2000h sounds almost like a full hollow bodied Jazzbox whereas the AM153QA is more in the realm of an ES335. I also think that the 153QA is the more versatile guitar due to its Tri-Sound switch. How do these two compare in terms of weight? Just curious...

Nice licks

It's quite possible that I have zero idea what I'm talking about, or hearing, but the 153 seems to have a flatter or deader attack. I think I like that one a bit better.

what kind of strap is that?

This is great Ben. How does the neck feel on both guitars? Does it feel the same or slightly different?

That neck tone on the AM2000h is so crisp, right from the start of the video

Beautiful sounds, Ben

You sound great on both guitars! Thinking of getting the AM2000

Hi Ben, I wanted to share one of my thoughts with you.. simply, your way of playing gives me peace, deep down.. I don't know, it will be given by some factors such as sound, touch, expression, what you compose etc.. the fact is, that all this puts me at peace.. as usual, I renew my greetings dear bro, Take care, a big hug & see you next time bye... 🙂🙃😉/🎼🎵✨🎶🤍🎸🤍🎵✨🎶/👍✌🏽👌🏼👋🏿

Suplime phrasé ! ^ ^

Those arent fingers, those are spider limbs😂😂😂

Thanks me too I'm facing reading as to challenging ❤❤. Thanks for making this video. I need more videos like this. Any other video in depth tutorial you recommend that covers all the basics about reading music??❤❤ Thanks for sharing this amazing video

Hey Ben, great lesson! The first approach I was introduced to by the great Vic Juris, late great guitarist from New York. He used to do jazz camps at the University of Toledo each year. The second approach is as useful and will be a great addition to my toolbox!

It’s timeless.

crazy to think that just changing one note of C major makes it sound so different

Amazing information…thank you so much Ben 😊❤ 🇮🇳

Beautiful ❤… thank you so much 🇮🇳
