The Artwood Series: Acoustic Tradition, Modern Approach
The Artwood series was designed to blend the DNA of traditional acoustic guitars with contemporary manufacturing focused on performance and reliability. The Ibanez AW54CE embodies this spirit: a dreadnought with a strong acoustic character, enhanced by a cutaway and integrated electronics to seamlessly transition from home playing to the stage.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The Ibanez AW54CE is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking a versatile electro-acoustic, as well as band musicians who want an easy-to-amplify guitar. It performs well in pop, folk, acoustic rock, strumming with a pick, and also in fingerstyle when playing more softly thanks to its warm response in the low-midrange.
Sound
With a construction based on okoumé (top, back, and sides), the AW54CE delivers a woody and warm tone, particularly pleasant for light playing, arpeggios, and finger-picking. When attacked with a pick, the dreadnought provides a clear projection and punchy mid-highs that help the guitar stand out in a mix. Plugged in, the combination of undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp produces a clear and usable sound, with a 2-band EQ to quickly adjust your tone, and a built-in tuner to stay in tune under all circumstances.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, you can stick with a string set with gauges .012-.053 (same gauge as factory-installed). A spare 9V battery is also useful to secure your rehearsals and concerts.
