Brand: Ibanez
Instrument Categories: Archtop, Electric, Guitars, SOLD
Appearing only for the model years 1998 to 2001, the Ibanez AAF207 7-string electric archtop was built by Fuji-Gen in Matsumoto, Nagoya.
This Ibanez AAF207 7-String dates, from the serial number, to 1997 at the Fuji-Gen plant in Matsumoto and as such is a very early model since it was introduced for the 1998 catalog. It is in very good, clean condition with only minor wear, and is original except for the Seymour Duncan SH-2N pickup with custom black cover replacing the original DiMarzio ‘Blaze’ unit. Finish wear is very light, as is fret wear.
The body of the Ibanez AAF207 7-String is Maple laminate, as is the case for many professional grade cutaway archtop electrics. On the top, the laminate has an outward layer of Spruce, while it’s Flamed Maple for the sides and back. The neck is a three piece design, with outside layers of Mahogany on a Maple center section, and an Ebony fingerboard with three-piece Abalone and Mother of Pearl position markers. The traditional wooden bridge is Ebony, for both cap and base.
Seven string guitars are still relatively rare. Originally oriented towards jazz or even some classical players, the extended range is finding favour in the ‘Metal’ genre where lower tones are appreciated.
The original hard shell case is included.
