I have only seen those on the FA series and thought the 2471 had the gibson "torch" inlay. Anyhow, here's the link to a video I found online: http://www.tomgiacabetti.com/media/polka.wmv   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Monday, November 05, 2007 - 7:16 am:    Gorgeous isn't it. Added pickup and controls. Wonder what pickup that is. Nice tone in the fingers too. six   Wildfield Username: Wildfield Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Monday, November 05, 2007 - 9:31 am:    Wow, that was a very nice.   Wildfield Username: Wildfield Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Monday, November 05, 2007 - 9:31 am:    Wow, that was very nice.   Sgjazz Username: Sgjazz Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, November 05, 2007 - 1:26 pm:    When I lived in Philly a good friend of mine studied with him. He is a great player and teacher.   Jazznote Username: Jazznote Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Monday, November 05, 2007 - 5:25 pm:    Gorgeous player, gorgeous sound, gorgeous guitar! Thanks for sharing!   Phatphred Username: Phatphred Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Monday, November 05, 2007 - 5:53 pm:    Beatiful, relaxed and in control. Loved the "Lush Life" thrown in ending. That guitar sounds like a well-aged Armagnac in those hands. Great find, Aroee!   Iguy Username: Iguy Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Monday, November 05, 2007 - 6:10 pm:    The waning sun, a cup of tea and Tom Giacabetti. I believe i'm having a moment. Beautiful tone. Thanks for the link!   Aroee Username: Aroee Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Sunday, November 18, 2007 - 12:59 am:    guess what, I just found a 2471nt of my own. It will need some fret attention but it's a real nice guitar and it has a Bartolini floating pickup which I may replace. I did a little comparison between my Epi Broadway and the Ibanez that I put on youtube if you want to hear it. It's played through a Crate Taxi battery amp.

About the guitars..I think the Ibanez sounds rounder.. it has the highs and the lows.. I think the Epiphone sounds good too, but with less developed low range and less body... yes, we're in a Ibanez forum... but that's what I really hear. How is the neck of the Ibanez? I had a FG100, have a AF200 and a 2355.. I like more the shape of the neck of the 2355 but it's way too narrow for me.. the AF's is a bit wider (still not enough for me) but too thin...   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Monday, November 19, 2007 - 5:27 am:    aroee, you're a great player. are you a pro? it seems so. you have a "dry" tone that reminds me 1940's guitarists, christian, django... i bet you use heavy gauge strings. cheers p.   Aroee Username: Aroee Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Monday, November 19, 2007 - 3:19 pm:    Hey Fg100 & Petruz, The neck of the Ibanez is nice. It's like a medium C shape, not too chunky nor too slim. The Epi has a little slimmer C shape which I also like. The guitar definately needs a fret job since there's a little buzz and a few spots where it's more "clunky" if you know what I mean. Also, chords don't ring evenly across the neck. A friend of mine (which daughter is a stewardess) offered to fly it up to Oklahoma city where they have a plek machine. Thanks for commenting on my playing, I am a semi pro. I also do a few other freelance things to make ends meet...   Fffnnn Username: Fffnnn Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - 3:26 pm:    Hey Aroee, I LOVE your music Maybe the Ibanez needs the action taking up a bit ? Man I wish I could play like you !
