Overview
Ibanez fits this mandolin with a magnetic pickup, chrome tuners and a spruce top over a mahogany body, plus knobs for level and color. A jack sends the signal out, and the finish is an open pore vintage burst.
Ibanez positions its mandolins as pro-feature instruments that are comfortable and easy to play, and this one returns the brand to the line-up after a long gap. The listing gives conflicting finish and size figures.
Who it's for
Players who move between a quiet acoustic setting and a plugged-in stage gain tone and volume controls on board. Anyone needing a left-handed layout or a clear size reference should look at other listings.
Pros and cons
- Single coil pickup with controls
- Spruce top, mahogany body
- Warm lows, sweet sustain
- Dimensions look unreliable
- Finish named two ways
- Case not listed
Performance notes
The mahogany body gives the rich, warm lows and sweet sustain described in the listing, and the magnetic pickup sends that tone to an amp. Controls at the instrument let the player set loudness and tone before the signal leaves the jack.
