Overview
Ibanez gives this Artwood grand concert a comfortable body, a real bone nut and saddle and a Thermo Aged bridge for added richness. An Ibanez pickup system with built-in tuner feeds XLR and quarter inch outputs, and a case comes with it.
Comfort and stage readiness make the case, with a body that is easy to hold and a mid focused voice that blends well in a band mix. The included case is a plus. Bullets call the top mahogany while specs and description say okoume.
Who it's for
Singer songwriters, fingerstyle players and recording guitarists who like a smaller body. Heavy strummers wanting big low end should look at a dreadnought.
Pros and cons
- Comfortable grand concert body
- Bone nut and saddle
- XLR and quarter inch outputs
- Two year warranty
- Top wood listed inconsistently
- Less bass than a dreadnought
- Open pore finish shows wear
Performance notes
A grand concert body emphasizes midrange, which helps the guitar cut through a mix. Bone nut and saddle transfer string energy more efficiently than plastic. The top is described as gaining harmonic richness as it ages.
