A "piccolo" that bridges the gap between ukulele and guitar
Following the line of Ibanez's EWP models, the EWP16EWB embraces the "travel guitar" spirit: the size of a ukulele, but the feel and sophistication of a steel-string guitar. Its Florentine cutaway and Tenor Style EW format make it an ideal portable instrument for composing, warming up, or accompanying your unplugged sessions.
For whom and for which styles?
This electro-acoustic is aimed at beginners as well as experienced players who want an inspiring small guitar that's easy to carry. Perfect for light fingerstyle, folk, pop, "world" arrangements, or doubling parts in the studio, it delivers a bright tone that blends very well with a standard acoustic guitar.
The sound
The figured ash top, back, and sides promote a lively attack, sparkling highs, and defined mids, with controlled lows due to the small body volume. The result: focused projection, quick sustain, and excellent note clarity. The Ibanez undersaddle piezo pickup faithfully reproduces this character; the AEQ-2U preamp and its EQ allow you to adjust bass and treble to suit the stage or recording environment.
