Ibanez AW80CE Artwood Brown Ale Gradation Electro-Acoustic
Product no: 9000-0048-5637 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The AW80CE is the latest addition to the famed Artwood Series from Ibanez. Just like for the other models, the Japanese brand have used a combination of traditional and innovative crafting techniques to build a more than fair-priced electro-acoustic steel-string guitar. Next to being a beautiful sight to behold, the AW80CE offers a lot of enjoyment in terms of sound and playing feel thanks to its cutaway and the rich sound shaped by the solid spruce top.

The AW80CE: Alluring Wood Types and Practical Electronics

The alluring wood types used for the construction, including nyatoh and ovangkol, help to shape pleasantly rounded highs and clear lows. To guarantee optimal sound transfer, the bridge and string nut are made of bone while the special Ibanez T-bar pickup under the bridge combines with the AEQ-TP2 preamp to make sure that the resonance of each string is accurately captured and reproduced.

The ibanez artwood aw80ce-blg brown ale gradation what a great guitar,i use for everything,it became my number 1 guitar,pure awesomeness

Wrote the following about Ibanez AW80CE Artwood Brown Ale Gradation Electro-Acoustic

Een fantastische gitaar voor iedereen die op zoek is naar een betaalbare elektrisch-akoestische gitaar, die ook onversterkt goed klinkt. Vaak heb je elektrisch-akoestische gitaren die iets in klank inbinden, omdat ze ook versterkt kunnen worden. Maar ik gebruik 'm vooral om op te nemen en wil daarom ook dat hij onversterkt een stevige klank heeft voor als ik niet opneem en bv. onversterkt gigs wil doen, én dat heeft ie die stevige klank onversterkt. Aanrader!
