2019 AVD10 BVS 1X 03
AVD10 Brown Violin Sunburst Red copyright sprite

The AVD10 is an Artwood Vintage series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid 2016. It is made in China.

The AVD10 features a dreadnought body shape with a solid Thermo Aged Sitka spruce top with Thermo Aged spruce bracing and Thermo Aged mahogany back and mahogany sides. The soundhole is round with a black & white multi rosette and the top is bordered with herringbone purfling and grained ivoroid binding. It has a soft-V shaped mahogany neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with grained ivoroid binding and custom mother of pearl position markers. Components include a compensated bone saddle in a rosewood bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a bone nut, a red tortoise pickguard and chrome Grover open gear tuning machines.

For 2018 the rosewood bridge and fretboard were replaced with cultured maple. For 2019 the mahogany back and sides were replaced with okoume and the mahogany neck was replaced with nyatoh. For 2021 the Thermo-aged maple bridge plate was eliminated.

The AVD10E is an acoustic/ electric version.

The AVD10 was discontinued after 2021 along with the entire Artwood Vintage line.
