I have an Ibanez AVT2 that I have been playing and I came across this Gold Tone TG-1 at Guitar Center. Brought it home and immediately restringed with Pearson #450 strings tuned GDAE. Holy smokes the Gold Tone sounds soooo much better. Deep lows and sustainment forever. Must be from the bigger body. I am by no means an expert, but I hear a significant difference, love the Gold Tone.
I will keep the AVT2 since it has electric pickups for when I want to play like that.
