Our verdict

A thin nylon string acoustic-electric for guitarists who want classical tone with the slim feel of an electric on stage. A case is not listed, and the thin body gives less unplugged volume.

Overview

Small stages, cafes and living rooms where a nylon string tone needs to be plugged in are where the Ibanez thinline belongs. A spruce top with fan bracing covers a sapele body, and an under-saddle pickup sends the sound to an amp.

Comfort is the selling point: the slim body feels like an electric guitar while keeping nylon string warmth. Cutaways on both sides open the upper frets. The thin body limits acoustic projection when unplugged.

Who it's for

Gigging guitarists, worship players and home recordists who want nylon string sound through a PA. Traditional classical players practicing unplugged should choose a full depth body.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very thin, comfortable body
  • Fan braced spruce top
  • Double cutaway access
  • Plug-in ready piezo pickup
Cons
  • Case not listed
  • Preamp controls not described

Performance notes

Plugged in, the under-saddle piezo carries the tone, so the amp or PA shapes the sound. Fan bracing lets the spruce top respond to light touch. The shallow body moves less air, which trims volume and bass when played acoustically.
