Chords for $400 VS $2,000 JAZZ GUITAR - Part 1

[C] Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a comparison video between these two different jazz guitars.
[Eb] They're both floating pickup [G] arch tops, so they're pretty similar in that regard,
but they're pretty different when it comes to the construction [N] stuff.
The first one is the more affordable option is the Ibanez AF71,
which is made with [G] laminate maple top [Eb] back sides, and then the more expensive option is the
Eastman AR-810, which is
solid spruce top and then solid maple back and sides.
[N] And then I've also upgraded the pickup here to a Ken Armstrong hand wound.
So the Ibanez is about $400 US [Eb] dollars, and then the Eastman goes for about
$2,000 and I've upgraded the pickup in it so that that adds a hefty price tag onto it also.
I'm going to be doing a comparison [G] here between these two, and we're going to see if the price tag warrants a difference.
I'm going to play acoustically first,
and then I'll plug into an amp and you're going to be hearing [N] everything recorded through this MXL
5000 condenser mic into a Focusrite Sapphire 6 interface and then through Logic.

and again mic'd up with the MXL microphone.
[G] The Ibanez is going to be in your right channel and the Eastman will be in your left channel.
So if you're interested in that, you can go ahead and check out the Ibanez and the Eastman.
If you want to hear them separately, [N] just pull out an earphone or turn off the speaker, whatever you're using.
If this video is helping you guys at all, make sure you leave a like down here [G] and maybe subscribe to the channel too.
You might like some of the other stuff I [C] talk about [Db] and I have plenty of live recordings [Cm] with this guitar too.

Let me know down in the comments if you think the price difference is justified.
The $2,000 Eastman or the $400 Ibanez.
