Which is the better Semi Acoustic guitar, the 599 € or 2577 €?

[@michaelgottlieb9083]

Love your playing and your passion....the part where you said you were going to cry really hit me too. I too, am a big fan of Ibanez and their consistency. Please check out the AM93 and AR520. Thank you!!!!

[@PriveGitaarles]

thanks for this video. I love your way of explaining your thoughts and emotions on guitars. Very cool

[@tinajackel]

My pleasure!

[@jorze79]

The John Scofield sounds deeper indeed but the other one sounds great too. Great playing by the way

[@tinajackel]

thank you jorge!

[@JohnnyB1953]

I just bought a used Ibanez JSM100 after trying it along with a new Gibson ES335 and Heritage 535 last week. For me, the JSM100 played and sounded the best! Incredible build quality! It is heavy, but I only seem to notice it when I pick it up. Once I start playing, it’s not an issue. Love your playing and KZbin channel! Thanks, Johnny B 👍🏼☕️😎

[@tinajackel]

thank you Johnny! i am really starting to fall in love with that guitar too!!

[@simonedimarzio2557]

I have the same JSM100 model, I can confirm it is a 335 killer! I agree it is on heavy side but once you play with a good strap it is so well balanced that you don't feel the weight as an issue.

[@JohnnyB1953]

The JSM100 is by far the best guitar I have ever played! It sounds and plays amazing! The more I play, the more I love it! Good luck mate!

[@oleheggen9453]

I bought my JSM100 used as well. Wonderful guitar in every way. Bonus for me was that although it was used, it was in mint condition.

[@vince8081]

The price doesn't justify the difference even the Scofield has better tone, i would love to learn the guitar with such a quality instrument like that. Great playing !!! Love your love for your instruments. ✨

[@tinajackel]

yes it’s astounding to me aswell!

[@Nicklowend]

They both sound great. Ibanez makes amazing instruments

[@gerdpfeil]

Sounds like your JSM100 is a "Sensei" guitar: I have played a few high-end Japanese guitars with this strange property (and I own one) - absolutely truly perfect instruments with the little twist that they reflect so much on your playing that they also uncover all the little imperfections, they reward "good" notes with the sweetest tones and punish minor fretting trouble pretty harshly... in other words they teach you how to play appropriately, with precision. Don't worry, either it works or they lose this property after a while (IOW either you break them in or they break you in, not sure) and much of it could be attributed to a particular treble response (maybe the ebony fretboards, dunno) but I found it quite amazing that something like this exists. I think it's materials and the ambition and the attitude of the maker and hence not restricted to Japanese guitars but finding it repeatedly on those certainly fits the stereotype and gives me a (grateful) grin.

[@tinajackel]

yes i agree! great guitars!

[@TropicalLatitude]

The nice thing about Ibanez is anything $600 or above has the same Super 58 pickups that have been a pro favorite for decades.

[@miksedk]

Have an AS93 from 2011, and I'm so happy about it that I'm actually thinking about trying the AS73 too. Aaand if I'm able to find a used AS103 too. I would love if Ibanez still produced the AS103

[@jazzydog]

I just bought 5 days ago used AS93 and yes I'm really happy with it too. Great guitar from Ibanez!.

[@lalinho767]

No tenía el gusto de conocerte y me encantó tu video, pues mostraste bien a las dos guitarras, y tu actitud alegre es muy grata. Tienes un nuevo suscriptor y mando saludos desde Veracruz, México.

[@tinajackel]

thank you so much!! all the best to you!

[@gavriloprincip11]

i got the tabaco-burst as-73,witch i really love (think i payed 450$ canadian used )....only thing i hate is the square chunky bound neck joint)...the older models like the as2000s have a nice carved set neck heel

[@SkonrokkenTV]

Have the JSM10 as opposed to JSM100. Plenty of guitar for me for 13k nok or 1300 euros. Well 3 years ago. Now more expensive. Great guitars! But yes quite heavy.

[@GreggBennett-j3p]

Nice chord changes (and facial expressions)

[@dowaliby1]

Beautiful guitars, beautiful playing, and beautiful LADY (and I'm not just talking about the guitars).

[@tinajackel]

thank you!

[@jroc2201]

I know this isn’t the point, but we all know a great player can pick up any thing and make it happen 🎉

[@olip8432]

Hi Tina, I am one of your subscriber but never post before, so thank you for this video and all the others of course. I recently bought a Yamaha sa2200 from 2004, I love the neck (I am Ibanez fan but) I went for it because I thought the neck was very comfortable for me compare to others and the price really good for an MIJ Aud 1800 immaculate condition. The pick up is maybe a bit hot but still sounds good on my dv little jazz. I would like to ask you if one day you could make a video on “don’t forget “ Jim hall / Pat Metheny “ I would love to play the cord and solo of that tune, it is so beautiful. Keep on the good work! Always learning something with you :-)

[@olip8432]

For that price this cheaper Ibanez sound really good compare to the John Scofield model.

[@tinajackel]

yes so true!

[@tinajackel]

thank you for watching my videos! best wishes from berlin,tina

[@Babesyann]

Hi Tina! is the JSM100 neck really thick?

[@tinajackel]

for me yes... but try it for yourself i think that´s best! :)

[@ES175jazz]

They both sound great. If the cheaper one plays great then save the money and go with the cheaper.

[@tinajackel]

yes that’s probably a good idea!

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

When I started in the mid 80s there was hardly any decent affordable gear for beginners, now there is an over abundance. It's impossible not to sound good out of the box.

[@tinajackel]

yes you are right . i have been starting around that time aswell. the cheap guitars of that time have been terrible a lot has changed. :)

[@andrecutair6650]

wait: what happened to the pat metheny model? that was super cool. i actually like the figured top on the cheaper guitar better ♥

[@tinajackel]

don’t worry i still have the pat metheny modell ( so it needs to be repaired the input jack again 🤪) i really think the cheaper one is really very cool and sounds so good

[@jazzydog]

Great video. Do you think they use same Super 58 for Japan made and non Japan made? Thank you for making this comparison video!. Cheers!!.

[@tinajackel]

i have a feeling they do! but i can‘t say for sure

[@jazzydog]

@@tinajackel Thanks!!

[@oneearedwonder]

Great review of these guitars but what is the music and chords you play to demonstrate them? It has a nice bluesy gospel feel to it.

[@tinajackel]

it’s „mo better blues“ one of my favorite tunes!

[@oneearedwonder]

Thanks Tina. Inspired to learn this great tune!

[@uzieleliud]

Que es mejor la Sheraton 2pro ó ibanez as93 fm?

[@johnc.mitchelljr.2716]

Nice comparison , , i'm not exactly a purist , , so, , i still like my solid bodies ✨

[@MrCampo2222]

Yes the differences in quality are small compared to the price difference. That's just normal for musical instruments. If you play everyday for hours every small difference becomes huge, so if you hear it, it's always worth the very modest extra cost. It's only the price of a very mediocre piano or cheap violin, ffs.

[@livebassngames]

absolutely no difference

[@livebassngames]

a 200$ ibanez is the best instrument out there plays like a 1000$ fender

[@Charlieboy2680]

Yeah I have absolutely no respect for my as73. Can't wait to sell it!

[@Charlieboy2680]

Mine never sounds in tune,I'm going to change the nut to see if that helps.

[@yoojin-oi8ij]

If you want a superior instrument, go for the MIJ,.... only ! It's money well spent. The Japanese builders are on a whole different level, and it shows and sounds and feels.

[@moinulislamshajib6165]

BEAUTY OF JAZZINESS...

[@tinajackel]

thank you!

[@kenneho]

Hi, which amp did you use for this video?

[@tinajackel]

hi! i used the henriksen jazzamp er 110!

[@SubtractiveMoves]

I personally like your AS 50 the best. Would you agree?

[@tinajackel]

yes 😊

[@christophegger29]

Der Hauptunterschied zwischen den beiden Gitarren ist, dass die eine in Japan hergestellt wurde und die andere unter ganz schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen in einem Land mit mindestens zweifelhaften demokratischen Strukturen (Indonesien) oder gar in einer lupenreinen Diktatur (China). Ich verstehe daher überhaupt nicht, weshalb man eine Gitarre wie die Ibanez AS93 empfehlen kann. Aber vielleicht passt das ja gerade zu Musikerinnen und Musikern, die gelegentlich auch die ihnen entgegengebrachte geringe Entlohnung und geringe Wertschätzung beklagen.

[@tinajackel]

du hast völlig recht und ich habe tatsächlich nicht mehr daran gedacht das die gitarre in indonesien hergestellt wurde. ich werde sie nicht mehr empfehlen- generell ist es schwierig jazzgitarrenanfängern gitarren zu empfehlen. entweder würde ich gebrauchte gitarren empfehlen aber die sind dann oft auch nur noch schwer zu bekommen ( zb wie die ibanez as 50 die ich selber spiele) und die gitarren von der stange gefallen mir oft nicht. wüsstest du eine alternative?

[@christophegger29]

@@tinajackel ja ich denke, eine gebrauchte AS200, AM200 o.ä., die in gutem Zustand ist, ist wohl das praktischste und auch nachhaltigste für Anfänger wie Fortgeschrittene. Mit etwas Geduld findet man auf jeden Fall eine. Vielleicht kann man empfehlen, nicht zu viele Gitarren zu haben, um Geld zu sparen. Eine AS200 ist ja sehr vielseitig einsetzbar, so dass man nicht unbedingt weitere Gitarren benötigt. Natürlich kann man auch eine gebrauchte oder neue AS93 kaufen, wenn das Budget knapp ist und es nicht anders geht. Immerhin wird sie nicht mehr in China, sondern in Indonesien hergestellt.

[@gerdpfeil]

@@christophegger29 Grundsätzlich gebe ich dir ja recht und ich kaufe ebenfalls keine Gitarren aus China und auch sonst nichts wo es noch vermeidbar ist, was aber leider eine Budgetfrage ist - so ein politisches Verbraucherstatement muß man sich leisten können. Anfänger geben grundsätzlich vorzugsweise unter 1.000€ aus, viele haben Schwierigkeiten 500€ für eine ernsthaft brauchbare Gitarre aufzubringen und da bleibt neben China nur noch Taiwan, Korea und Indonesien übrig. Eine AS- oder AM-200 ist nicht nur schwierig zu bekommen, die wären mit mindestens 1.400€ für abgerockte Exemplare auch preislich außerhalb von Reichweite und Schmerzgrenze für die meisten. Die Realität für die meisten Anfänger ist daß ihnen auf der Mehrzahl der YT-Kanäle 149€-Superschnäppchen aus China angedient werden, die nicht nur in China als OEM-Ware gebaut werden sondern direkt von chinesischen Firmen vermarktet werden und damit 100% der Abgaben das Regime unterstützen. Da ist eine Empfehlung für eine brauchbare Ibanez aus Indonesien wirklich das deutlich kleinere Übel, zumal die Festigkeit demokratischer Strukturen auch im Westen, z.B. im Ursprungsland der E-Gitarre gelegentlich auf die Zerreißprobe gestellt wird, ausgehend von einem radikalisierten Volk.

[@lonegroover]

I have an Ibanez semi, it was inexpensive but very well made. The neck is too fat for me though. That's what impulse buying gets you.

[@tinajackel]

yes i find the neck a little thick too! i wanted to measure the different necks (also of my ibanez as 50) with some sort of plasticine, but it didn´t work out and then i run out of time

[@thejazzman4260]

[@alexreis3615]

There is no difference in sound

[@tinajackel]

try headphones?

[@alexreis3615]

@@tinajackel Already tried. They are the same! I think the 'difference' is more for who is playing the guitar than who is listening.

[@lonegroover]

I think they do sound different, but - it's slight.

[@xxxmindlessxxx]

JSM100 has a bone/brass nut, so there is a certain ring to it
