Overview
Songwriters and advancing players get a comfortable auditorium body with a Sitka spruce top over ebony back and sides. A sound port aims tone at the player, and an Ibanez preamp with an under-saddle pickup sends a clean signal to an amp or PA.
Detail and note separation stand out, thanks to the spruce top and dense ebony back. The low-oval neck feels easy for long sessions. Nothing beyond the guitar and its electronics is listed in the box, so a case is an extra purchase.
Who it's for
Players moving past a first guitar, and pros downsizing from a bigger body, get a balanced auditorium shape. Bass-heavy rhythm players may want something larger.
Pros and cons
- Sitka spruce top for clear tone
- Sound port aims sound at player
- Low-oval neck for comfort
- Precise die-cast tuners
- No case or gig bag listed
- Auditorium body has less bass
Performance notes
Articulation comes from the spruce top over hard ebony, which reflects energy back with little softening. The sound port lets the player hear the guitar as the audience does. Plugged in, the under-saddle pickup and preamp carry that clarity while the onboard controls shape it.
