NGD Ibanez AC240 (Pics Added)!

[Mike Sylvia]

I just pulled the trigger on an Ibanez AC240 over on Reverb!

I've been wanting to try one out for a while now, and finally went for it. It was listed as MINT condition, and it comes with a heavily padded Ibanez gig bag. I would have paid $400 for it new with a nice bag plus tax, but got it for half that including shipping. I hope it's as nice as all the reviews.😀

Finally had a chance to take some photos.

Those are great guitars for the money. don't forget to post a pic to make it an official NGD. Those are the rules.

You bet, Paul. I'll post some photos when it gets here!😎

Those are the exact strings I'm putting on mine when it arrives.😎

Congratulations. I'm gonna be buying a relatively inexpensive acoustic at some point to play when we visit our daughter out west and leave there for future visits. This one is on my short list, along with a couple of Yamahas, a couple of Alvarez models, maybe a Taylor Big Baby (but probably not). I'm gonna try to play them all before our first visit out there (probably not until next Spring), and order one through a shop out there.

Look forward to your impressions - I hope you love it...

Congrats, Mike. I've had one of these for over a year now, and it has become my go to daily player. Really like it for fingerpicking, and it does ok under a flatpick as well. Enjoy!

I have had mine for over a year. My most played guitar since it arrived. Amazing for the cost.

I'm really impressed with the Ibanez Artwood acoustics. Enjoy that one!!

Congrats! That particular guitar seems to continually get rave reviews. Sure is a good looking guitar.

That's why I have it a shot, and the reviews are correct, it is a fantastic instrument. Build quality, playability and tone are better then my Martin DRS1 that costs almost 3X as much. The Ibanez also has a real Rosewood fretboard and bridge, not Richlite. Tone is very subjective, but to my ears it sounds better.

I'm very happy with my purchase to say the least.😀
