- If you have big hands then Ibanez have an new acoustic guitar for you!
The Artwood 417 has a 48mm wide neck (at the nut) and fits the bigger or more adventurous hands wonderfully.

Is anyone else in need of a wide neck acoustic?
Si Si my fat fingers like trees enjoy necks like these ....
I say like, like way valley girl too much 😖
I got the smallest fingers , ever the solution 5 strings with slim neck , Sandberg panther buckeye. You have to try the sg special the neck is half of a tree . Happy new year and wish you clones and easy world domination 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🥶
Short fingers what a nightmare..... but nice gripe and speed.....
Yes! Yes! Yes! Please expand the line of wide neck acoustics. For strumming and playing solo lines with a flat pick, it doesn't really help, but for intricate fingerstyle playing, it is a wonderful thing. A wide neck makes the guitar fingerstyle specific. This class of guitarist has been left out far too long.
Yes!
I have a Seagull Peppino Artist, nut is 1.9 inches. My abilities increased exponentially with the extra room. I thought I was a bad guitarist for all of those years, I just didn't have a guitar big enough for my very large hands. You wouldn't want to cram your feet into a shoe that is three sizes too small. Same thing with the front board. I applaud Ibanez and we'll be getting one of these. I wish other hard-headed guitar makers (are you listening Taylor?) Would come around to this thinking too. Thanks again Ibanez!
I now have the guitar in my studio and I’m really enjoying it
I agree 100%. Taylor, Martin etc make me one asap. Or leave the market to Ibanez ans Seagull.
A tad over 48mm, perfect! Agree with everything said here, Ibanez make great and affordable guitars, we have few. Now if they would only make a parlour size with 48mm neck and a 12th fret body I'd order one right now, for some reason in my old age I find full size bodies hard to cope with. One of the best wide necks we had was a solid wood Washburn parlour around 10 years old, again a 48mm neck and lovely sound, only thing I couldn't cope with and the reason we sold it was the tree of Life inlay, I'm a neck watcher and jump around a lot playing ragtime, kept missing the mark! Good video, regards, Old fat hands.
The Seagull performer series are 1.8 and about $900 less than the Peppino.
My buddy has a 7 string,, but made it a 6,, I loved it!! I bought a seagull for the wide neck
I don’t have huge hands, but I’ve always struggled to properly fret certain chord positions because of my nails, even when I’ve freshly clipped them.
I can’t play a C chord without unintentionally muting/buzzing the high E string with my index finger. To get the high E string to ring out I have to use the tip of my nail to fret the B string. It’s something I’ve always found really frustrating when I’ve played guitar.
I’m gonna try and push the nail beds back on my left hand over the next couple of months by clipping and filing them every day to see if I can get any improvement on this issue. If this doesn’t work, the Alvarez acoustic guitar I just bought will be getting swapped for this Ibanez.
Hey guys. I’m trying to source this guitar in Australia but having little luck. Does it have a model number or product code?
I purchased the The Artwood 417 and have been trying to convince myself to keep it as it is nice to play. However, I decided to return it. It sounds Ok for a beginner but if you are looking for a great sound, make sure you get a solid wood top sides and back.
im with you. i like the neck but the sound is the sound of plywood
Thanks a lot for the introduction, it's exactly what I've been looking for! 😊
Problem is that I'm in Australia and the Ibanez website doesn't provide any contact information for my region so I have no idea where I can preorder one. 🤷♂️
🎵These hand oh are cryin
These hand have seen a lotta necks but there never gonna see another neck like ibani had with you.🎶
I too enjoy a wide neck 🤘🏽
You crack me up
You set yourself up for it
As a fingerpicker I play a lot faster and I feel more confortable on a classical nylon guitar (52mm neck), but I still prefer the sound of steel. Thats why I ordered this guitar... to combine my preferences. I see this as a perfect combo. Can't wait to try it out
Rock on! Let me know how it goes!
@@TheGuitarGeek She‘s finally here :-)
The difference from a standard neck is not that big as I expected, but I can clearly feel there is more space between the strings. This helps me a lot to play fast patterns cleaner. Oh and the wood feels so good! Nice guitar!
Exactly why I’m looking for a wide neck! Would you say it’s a good guitar for fingerpicking? (Good sound etc)
@@jos7006 In my eyes it is. First I had to get used to the neck width. It is somewhere in between classical an western standard. Now I can‘t imaging going back. It became my main guitar. I totally love the feeling and sound. Wether plugged or unplugged. Definitely the best choice for my needs
I'm in TX and just ordered one from Germany. Can't wait!
Also in Texas. Bought a Dean acoustic electric for my Christmas present and realizing I can’t really play it due to pairing of a tiny neck and my thick fingers. Electric is a bit easier for me to play as a beginner but even then, many of the nut width/string spacing are industry standard. So I’m in the process of finalizing the purchase of an inexpensive tele and swapping in a Big Lou neck & their wide bridge, along with upgrading to locking tuners. I think I’ll advance much quicker instead of muting half the chords and having to develop workarounds. I’d rather be able to learn to play the way everyone else does. Once I’ve got that down, would like to come back to a wide neck acoustic. Would appreciate you updating on how this one works for you.
@@jeffrey4459 hey man! It's supposed to arrive in 2 days, I'll definitely get back to you with my review!
I am 6’4” tall and huge hands with long fingers. IBANEZ - PLEASE MAKE MORE WIDE NECK GUITARS!!! More colors, more options as well. There is a huge market for big size guys like me. 48 mm equals 1.9 inches wide. perfect width as even 1-3/4 inches is too narrow for me. I have been trying to get a custom made neck this wide from all the major builders, and the price is just way too expensive. US dollars= $4,000 minimum - then goes up from there!!! This may be the guitar I get. But I am in the US and this is only available in Europe as of summer of 2020. I still may get it.
I just wish the Ibanez website would acknowledge that this guitar is for sell. I can't find it on there.
I have just bought one! Thanks to you all at Ibanez.... 💘
Thanks very much. I'm starting to play and not got handitus grandiose maximus but having trouble with chords like C so I may try this guitar, are there other widenecks now? Cheers Ian, great vids, subd!
Hi Ian, there a few more guitars in this range now. Welcome to guitar!
I just watched a comedy show, right? of a Brit playing a new guitar? This was honestly more entertaining than any review I have watched on CZcams, and I have watched five, now six. I like your humor. Subscribed.
LMAOL that is awesome you "palmin" henning !! he he he :D I'm a fan of ibanez acoustics ... & i must say ... this REALLY puts them on the map for a future guitar for me.
Thanks again & great job Andy !! :)
I have fairly big hands with rather "wide" finger tips. Always had trouble just to push one string at the time on a steel stringed guitar. So I decided to get me a guitar with a wider neck. Wanted to try a cheap one before I get one custom made for several thousand £ or $. So I found this. It's actually not that bad sounding at all. But how easy it is for me to play! So many things I can do that I've been struggeling with for years!
Maybe I'll get me a custom made or settle with this one. It is not impossible.
There are some more wide Ibanez guitars on the way. Some higher end models
@@TheGuitarGeek Get them to send me a pre production one asap ;) I've asked Taylor but it is hard to make them understand the need. I had a lovely K26 but had to sell it because the slim neck was too annoying. I've been in contact with Emerald guitars and thay might make me a X30 with 48 mm neck. There are some good luthiers in Sweden, but the last one I had contact with puts 200-250 hours in a guitar and charge 11 thousand euros as a start...
Please tell me more about the high end Ibanez with wide neck.
Men with big big hands and finger pickers also. Good fun review. Maybe one day you may review an AZ. Ibanez are so cool right now.
AZ review is on the way. I love what Ibanez are doing at the moment
Now we need the Ibanez AW42ASMR guitar with acoustic scratch pre-amp for all your ASMR pleasure.
Very cool idea but I am the reverse. Small hands and slow. Ibanez is being heard loud and clear right now. I can’t however get my mind off the AS73.... maybe not the rose gold. I need to not watch you and Henning for a month or 2 to pay for Christmas! You guys cost me money! Thanks for the video. Very cool Dan/Ibanez!
Hahahaha. Sorry!! (Not sorry)
I need an even skinnier neck with me kid size hands 😂 beautiful sound though 👍👍
He’s got the whole Henning in his hands, He’s got the whole Henning in his hands, He’s got the whole Henning in his hands, He’s got the whole Henning in his hands. I thank you.
Superb. Absolutely superb
My pleasure.
O
I’m interested. I have thick fingers and large, fleshy fingertips (sounds horrible in print 😂) that make standard guitars a challenge. A standard A chord is nigh on impossible for me without dulling a string
I have a similar issue. This side neck makes playing an A possible for me. I love the guitar
Mee 2
awe Henning is making it beautiful
Really like the sound of this and need a new travel guitar, but as a Martin guy, this runs close to the X series......hmmmmm choices ahead
Always good to ab things.
Do the have Ibanez left-handed wide neck electric acoustic guitar if so what is the model number and where can I get one?
1) do you know if they’re also bringing it out in other finishes?
2) what’s the red/orange electric in the background in between the pink and yellow guitars?
I have the Ibanez Artwood AC340, reviewed it on my channel and love it! Ibanez acoustics are amazing! Cheers dude
Derek Paul nice! I’m quite picky with acoustics so I need to get this one in the studio at some point
TheGuitarGeek I’m the same, for some reason the Ibanez just resonated with me, it’s a me guitar
Henning is also the thomann's showroom janitor by night. He watch guitars and amps getting alive past midnight... Or it is just the blackforest mushrooms.
I applaud Ibanez for making a guitar for large handed individuals. i bought one. the neck is nice and wide but its not high quality instrument. In the end i built a custom guitar with a 1 and 13/16th nut.
Can't you just make 2 six .. this is 6 more .. reminds me of Spinal Tap .. love the guitar the start just struck me funny
😂
Follow-up comment: making good progress & no more bloody string buzz...!!
Thanks again to Ibanez for thinking of us guys with wider fingertips....
Lovely guitar & a greater play by using No 9 steel strings. ❤️
Martyn Haulkham
I’m intrigued. I’m not much of an acoustic player, but this thin and wide neck seems promising.
It certainly is different. Try one out if you see one
HOW DO I GET THIS IN THE STATES??? Months later still not available anywhere that I can find.
Is it out yet?
Sounds nice to this Giant!
Is this a Europe Only model? i saw something like that on a site. I am looking for the largest nut-string width I can find! large fingers and no matter the practice just am not able to fret some chords cleanly (B7 is a top example). Thanks for the video!
It could be, I can only see it for sale in EU.
How do I buy this in the US? Bueller? Bueller?
Hi Andy, thanks
You’re welcome! 😎
where can i buy the aw417 in the usa?
Well done Ibanez! I have always thought that a wider neck would help with my sausage fingers! ;-)
be careful about wide nut/neck guitars. if your hands are not big enough when you fret a chord while truying muting or holding the top (low E ) string - you will often times mute the high E in the palm of your hand.
Why is this guitar not on their website?
That’s a good question... I’ll ask
Large hands are an asset, to Axemen..see, Steve Vai, ....I'm Paul Gilbert... And these are Ibanez players, too!
That’s totally true. Paul has huge hands
I need this. I lost the tip of my finger and its just a fat nub now.
i'll buy one if it comes in baritone
Now that would be cool!
I wish these we we’re sold in the usa ☹️
are they going to offer this for electric
No idea... I can ask!
@@TheGuitarGeek Yes, pleas ask. I'd like an electric guitar with a wide nut too.
Is it available in the states? It's not on their site!? Send help.
It will be!
@@TheGuitarGeek still can’t find it in USA
Thanks for the vid... Not sure about that dry humor of your poor camera man's head... yikes... But I can't believe how much homework and researching and searching it is to find a decent wide necked... Dan, I'm wondering is there a parlor sized acoustic electric with the wide neck? Thanks...
Hi Lisa! Yes, affordable wide neck acoustic guitars are not easy to find. As far as I know, there is not an electric acoustic parlour sized in this series
Try and get your big hands on one...!!
Are they hard to get a hold of?
Unfortunately.... when it comes to mindless guitar manufactures.... they all wear the same size leather shoes - Size 5
Love the idea of a wider neck. Your production quality needs some work....
😂😂😂
@@TheGuitarGeek Awesome reply, Love it!
I was making more videos. Sorry about the quality!
Not in need, just like wider necks more. People should stop using the term wider necks and start using the term wider nuts or fretboard. Wider neck would mean a thicker neck, like a ballbat. And people are getting confused.
No dude. Thicker necks means thicker necks!
