Ibanez PA300E-NSL Natural

An Ibanez Electro-Acoustic Designed for Stage and Studio

With its modern approach to acoustic lutherie, Ibanez offers a guitar that targets both pure acoustic performance and sound control when plugged in. The choice of premium woods, the 5-piece neck construction, and the internal architecture with modified X-M bracing are designed for stability, precision, and consistency-ideal for demanding musicians seeking a Jumbo with a strong character.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This guitar is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive, powerful instrument that excels when amplified. Its Jumbo format and projection are perfect for strumming, modern pop/folk, acoustic rock, singer-songwriter styles, as well as fingerstyle playing when seeking wide range and prominent bass. The Mono or Stereo outputs also make it an excellent choice for stage and recording.

Sound Characteristics

The solid German spruce top provides clarity, definition, and a wide dynamic range: the harder you play, the more the guitar "opens up" and projects. The Pao Ferro back and sides enhance precision and clarity, with firm lows, structured mids, and silky highs. The modified X-M bracing promotes a modern balance, with good volume reserve and natural sustain, while the asymmetric Jumbo shape combines acoustic presence and ergonomics.

When plugged in, the multi-sensor electronics allow adapting the output to any context: the Ibanez AP11 magnetic pickup favors warmth and stability (very useful live), the piezo adds attack and brightness, and the contact microphone reinforces the "wood" and percussive character. The separate volume controls help finely balance each source to find your perfect mix, either in classic mono or stereo for enhanced separation.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, you can stick with the D'Addario XTAPB1356 string set. For amplification, a 6.35 mm mono jack cable is suitable for mono output, and a 6.35 mm stereo jack cable (TRS) is recommended when using the stereo output.
