Ben Monder's Guitars
Ben has played an early 80's Ibanez AS-50 for about 30 years as his main guitar. It's pretty much the only guitar you see him playing.
A quote from a Guitar Player article:
I bought it in 1983 because I liked the way it looked, and because I imagined it would produce a certain sound. When I actually got it, however, it didn’t sound anything like what I’d imagined. But I kept at it and eventually it started sounding the way I wanted. So I don’t know if there’s something going on where you kind of breathe your sound through a guitar and it starts to do what you want it to, but it is really easy to play and it has a nice jazz tone as well as being able to rock out. I can also bend the neck to change pitch, which is something I do fairly often.
When the interviewer asked him about the nice acoustic that he plays on some pieces, he said, "Yes, a 1936 Martin 018."
