Artwood: the traditional acoustic spirit, optimized for the stage
Part of the Ibanez Artwood series, the AW5412CE follows the codes of large acoustics (dreadnought size, overall balance, dynamic response) while adding a modern approach focused on efficiency: luthiery designed for consistency and integrated electronics ready for stage and home studio use.
For whom, and in which styles?
This 12-string electro-acoustic is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to enrich their accompaniments with a natural chorus effect. It excels in pop, folk, acoustic rock, and ballads, both in broad strumming and clear fingerpicking. The cutaway helps explore higher positions, useful for melodic intros and open chord passages higher up the neck.
The sound
With a dreadnought body, the AW5412CE favors wide projection and a generous low register, typical of accompaniment guitars. The okoumé used for the top, back, and sides delivers a warm and woody character: in soft playing or fingerpicking, notes remain round and musical, while with a pick the guitar provides more punchy upper mids with clear articulation of all 12 strings. Plugged in, the combination of the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and the AEQ-TP2 preamp reproduces a precise and usable signal, with quick control over balance via the 2-band EQ and easy tuning thanks to the built-in tuner.
