It has a large, round soundhole with an acrylic rosette and a red tortoise pickguard. It has a soft-V shaped mahogany neck with a 12th fret joint and a 18-fret rosewood fingerboard with small white dot position markers. Components include a compensated bone saddle in a rosewood bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a bone nut, and chrome Ibanez tuning machines with butterbean buttons.

The AVD1E is an acoustic-electric version. The AVM1, AVT1 and AVN1 are related models with OM, tenor and parlor bodies, respectively. The AVD4 is a related model with a solid mahogany top and block fretboard inlays.

The AVD1 was discontinued after 2015.
