The rubber on archtops and hollows is for the switch doesnt vibrates and rattles due the resonance of the top, also prevents the wood for cracks, softer than screw the switch direct to the wood.

Super 58 pickups are basically Ibanez's take on the P.A.F. sound. They're not a high gain/high output metal shredder pickup, that Ibanez is mostly associated with. They're made for blues, jazz, hard rock, country, and classic rock, and have a more mellower tone.
@drewd20463 жыл бұрын
Really nothing new to the lineup but I enjoy the fact that ibanez still finds it useful to make the old school semi hollow and hollow body guitars. That semi hollow can be a total rock monster if you want it to be, kinda like an es335
@hyperion25023 жыл бұрын
Good review. The as 2000 is a semi hollow body. Absolutly not only for jazz. You may not dgent with, but from clean to hard rock, it's more than ok.

Think a bit about that rubber grommet Henning...it goes trough the top and looks close to similar on the other side. It is there to isolate the switch from the acoustic top and muffle the operational use, keep in mind that these type of guitars are mainly used with other acoustic instruments, so the ones that play them want as little klink and klonk as possible, without the grommet the switching operation would be a lot louder cause of the thick top on a hollow body design, there is a lot of resonance going on there.

The white rubber might be to isolate the switch from the body to stop thumps when you wack the switch. Could have made it black. The hook on the washers is to keep tge switch from rotating, but not when pointed up. It's to go into the body into a small hole to anchor it.

The washers having the sharp bit sticking up have bugged me so much recently on my own Ibanez SIX6DFM (these washers are to retain the position of the switch when surface mounted on panels, the thread has a notch in which line up with the washer and the washer should be turned over to lock into a metal panel) I took them off today, sanded them down with a Dremel and flipped them over. Now I am happy! Definitely not meant for a guitar though!

@NotThatKraken3 жыл бұрын
Same basic shape, but the AS2000 is higher quality than the Sheraton and the neck feels nicer to me with rounder edges. The Ibanez pickups are a little darker than the ProBuckers, which makes it easier to get a more traditional jazz tone.

My two cents: Fujigen made Ibanez quality not great these days. Just got a new AS2000 $3K top end unit with one thread hole stripped, tooling issues on the acrylic binding, settings all wrong and one Gotoh machine head very hard to spin. I have a telecaster made in Indonesia of better quality, and it was 1/3 of this Ibanez. Called Ibanez and they told me to ship it to the only one location they provide service in US on my money. Very disappointing! Ibanez, I've promissed you a video on youtube about what you sell and how you treat your clients. That will come shortly, I just purchased a GB10 so now I will be able to provide a broader picture of these issues. BTW nut is 44.5mm (1-3/4") instead of 43mm (1-11/16mm) as advertised by Ibanez. Their explanation is that it is the paint in top of the nut. Childish isn't it? In stead of a modern medium you get a wide nut.
