Overview
Instead of a spruce top, this Ibanez uses an okoume top over okoume back and sides for a warm, mahogany-like voice. A cutaway opens the upper frets, and an Ibanez preamp with tone controls and a built-in tuner powers the piezo pickup on stage.
Warmth over sparkle defines the sound, which suits singers who want a guitar that stays out of the vocal range. The onboard tuner saves a pedal on small stages. Scale length is missing from the listing, and the open-pore finish shows wear over time by design.
Who it's for
Gigging players behind a vocal, and players who like a mellow tone, get a stage instrument with a tuner built in. Anyone after a crisp, bright strum should look at a spruce-top model.
Pros and cons
- Onboard tuner saves a pedal
- Warm, mahogany-like voice
- Cutaway for upper fret access
- Comfort Grip neck profile
- No case or gig bag listed
- Scale length not listed
Performance notes
Tone comes from the okoume top, which is softer and warmer than spruce and rolls off some high-end sparkle. The sound port sends that sound toward the player for better monitoring. On stage, the piezo pickup and preamp tone controls shape the signal before it reaches the PA.
