Find Your Voice

02 

Find 

Your Voice 

inding your voice…the 

key to expressing who 

you are…your ideas, your 

anger, your frustration, 

your joy…is probably the reason why 

you started playing the guitar in the 

first place. (Besides meeting members 

of the opposite sex, but that’s a 

subject for some other introduction.) 

What does it take to “find your voice?” 

Is it finding the right lyrics? The right 

notes of an elusive melody? 

The right band? The right chord 

changes or playing style? The 

right person to write songs with? 

And if you do succeed in 

finding your own voice, can 

you get it on tape or out 

on stage the way 

you imagined 

it? 

Finding your voice is a lot 

of different things to different 

people. 

You may not know what it is yet. Nor 

can we tell you. But if part of the 

search for your own voice is finding 

the right instrument, then we perhaps 

can help. Here in this catalog there 

are many different kinds of acoustic 

guitars. Different enough in size, sound 

and style, that we’re sure you’ll find 

one that will help you play better 

and sound better. 

And if that’s not finding your 

voice, perhaps it’s the next best 

thing.

B-Band® UST Pickup & Ibanez SRTn Preamp with Notch Filter & Onboard Tuner 

The B-Band ® UST Under-Saddle Transducer pickup provides 

incredibly well-balanced and warm acoustic sound reproduction. Getting 

the right sound every time, no matter what the venue, is made possible 

by the Ibanez SRTn Preamp. The SRTn’s innovative notch filter-equipped 


feedback reduction system allows high, loud sound levels on-stage 

without any annoying squeal creeping into the mix. Adjustments are 

minimal—no more annoying onstage fiddling with your controls—and 

tuning up is a breeze thanks to the SRTn’s convenient onboard tuner.

tone shaper features an actual loudness contour control so you 

can precisely determine the level of the contour and get the right 

sound. The SST, designed to complement the Fishman ® Sonicore 

pickup, offers quiet operation and features a phase reverse switch 

for reducing feedback. A separate battery compartment allows for 

easy battery changes.

That’s why Artwood Studio features solid wood, mahogany or

Flying Top Construction 

Flying Top construction was originally developed by Swiss 

luthier, Lukas Brunner, and this construction has been applied 

on Brunner's own unique instruments. (For more information on 

Brunner Guitars, please check out www.brunner-guitars. 

com). Instead of an X-bracing pattern, the top is reinforced 

with a thin piece of spruce that is graduated towards the edges 

and supported at a single point by a “flying brace” attached 

to the sides. This provides an ideal combination of strength, 

weight, stiffness and flexibility that frees the top to vibrate at all 

frequencies, bringing you sparkling tone, exceptional balance and 

extraordinary responsiveness.

& A 5 T P r e a m p 

The A5T pre-amp features an onboard tuner and 4-band tone 

controls: Presence for brighter sound, Mid for smoothness, Bass 

for adjusting fullness, and Treble for high frequency response. 

Two notch filter controls, Frequency and Depth, help to control 

and eliminate feedback. A Phase switch provides additional 

feedback control by allowing the phase of the pickup to be 

reversed in relation to the phase of the amplification speaker(s).

Euphoria 

Fishman® Onboard Aura 

The unique Fishman ® Onboard Aura features six selectable 

Acoustic Sound Images. Each image was created using the EP9 

and a different top shelf microphone so that the great tones 

of the EP9 in a professional recording environment can be 

reproduced in any venue. 

These Sound Images can be blended easily with the standard 

pickup signal according to taste. The Aura also includes a 

programmable active 3-band tone control, anti-feedback control, 

onboard chromatic tuner with mute, and more.

"The thing I like 

the most about 

the EP9 is its userfriendly 

nature... 

...It’s built for versatility to accommodate the style preference of most any 

player. The anti-feedback option and equalization parameters of the 

Fishman Aura system are truly an evolution in amplified acoustic guitar 

design. It’s quite stunning how well it works, actually. 

The elements of the solid spruce top, mahogany neck, and the solid 

mahogany back and sides offer supreme sound quality, but let’s not forget 

the most important thing... it looks as delicious as it sounds and feels." 

Steve Vai

Flying Top Construction 

Flying Top construction was originally developed by Swiss 

luthier, Lukas Brunner, and this construction has been applied 

on Brunner's own unique instruments. (For more information on 

Brunner Guitars, please check out www.brunner-guitars. 

com). Instead of an X-bracing pattern, the top is reinforced 

with a thin piece of spruce that is graduated towards the edges 

and supported at a single point by a “flying brace” attached 

to the sides. This provides an ideal combination of strength, 

weight, stiffness and flexibility that frees the top to vibrate at all 

frequencies, bringing you sparkling tone, exceptional balance and 

extraordinary responsiveness.

distorted electric sounds. You 

can also mix each electric 

guitar sound with acoustic guitar sounds using the 5-way lever switch. 

Each sound has an individual volume control so that you can have 

an ideal balance between acoustic guitar sounds and either clean or 

distorted electric guitar sounds. 

Also with the distorted electric guitar sound, an analog gain control lets 

you adjust for a natural and warm distortion tone. 

Along with the Digital based preamp, the 2-band notch filter allows you 

to control frequency more precisely. It also includes controllable digital 

Reverb, Chorus, 3-band tone control, and phase reverse.

Montage 

A Kaleidoscope of Sound 

Since you are a busy working 

musician, you may be required to 

play with an electric and acoustic 

guitar sound in one song. In that case, 

what do you do? Play the acoustic part 


with an electric guitar? Or have another 

guitarist play the acoustic part? In any 

case, you’re not really satisfied, are you? 

The Montage is a complete sonic arsenal 

for those busy working musicians. You

Ebony bridge and fingerboard not only add more beauty but also 

allow for smooth fingering and a brighter sound out of the guitar 

itself. (G850)

Both Ibanez clip tuners, new PU20 and 

PU10, are designed to tune electric and 

acoustic guitars, basses, violins, banjos, 

mandolins, and more without interference 

from ambient room noise. It does it all 

without the use of wires, microphones or 

pickups. Tuning in noisy environments is a 

snap because the unique, flexible clamp 

actually feels the instrument’s vibration 

instead of relying on sound. PU20 features 

backlit large LCD display for maximum 

visibility even in the dark stage. PU10 

features the 4 hinges that allow a perfect 

view of the tuner’s LED display from nearly 

any angle.
