An Artwood Designed to Combine Acoustic Tradition and Modern Demands
The AW70ECE is part of the Ibanez Artwood series, designed to preserve the spirit of traditional acoustic guitars while incorporating modern construction and features. It offers tone and projection-focused luthiery paired with discreet yet complete electronics, allowing easy transition from pure acoustic playing to amplified sound without compromising the instrument's character.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Thanks to its dreadnought body and cutaway, the AW70ECE targets motivated beginners to intermediate players seeking a versatile guitar for accompaniment, demo recording, or live performance. It excels particularly in pop, folk, acoustic rock, variety, and worship styles, offering enough response for pick playing and sufficient warmth for fingerpicking.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers clarity, a crisp attack, and a good dynamic range, ideal for alternating between soft playing and strong rhythms. The okoumé back and sides enhance a woody, warm tone with pronounced upper mids that stand out in strumming. The laurel fingerboard and bridge contribute to a round and natural sound, while the 3-piece nyatoh/maple neck promotes a balanced response in the low mids. When plugged in, the undersaddle pickup maintains a precise and usable sound image, and the AEQ-TP2 preamp allows quick tone shaping via the 2-band EQ while keeping the tuner always accessible.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay close to the original feel, a set of 12-53 acoustic strings (same gauges as factory setup) is a safe choice. For amplified use, have a spare 9V battery on hand, as well as a 6.35 mm jack or XLR cable depending on your system (acoustic amp, mixer, interface).

The 2 packing boxes were in perfect condition... but the guitar was shipped damaged. Quality control missed a small hole... Since the cost of returning the guitar is my responsibility, I prefer to keep it anyway.
I was planning to buy a second guitar in a few months at a much higher price but I will think twice before ordering it... you can understand...Automatically translated
