Ibanez PC14MHCE-WK Weathered Black

An Ibanez Electro-Acoustic Designed for Modern Playing and Stage Use

For years, Ibanez has offered electro-acoustics focused on comfort, with smooth playability and reliable electronics. This model follows that approach: a Grand Concert body more compact than a dreadnought, a cutaway for exploring the upper neck, and an AEQ2T preamp system equipped with an integrated tuner to stay ready during rehearsals and concerts.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Ibanez is suitable for both the motivated beginner and the intermediate guitarist looking for an electro-acoustic that is easy to set up and enjoyable to play. Its Grand Concert size is particularly well-suited for fingerstyle, pop, folk, and vocal accompaniment, offering good control of the low end and clear articulation. The cutaway is a real advantage for solo passages and higher positions.

Sound Characteristics

The choice of okoumé for the top, back, and sides provides a balanced response, with present mids and a quick attack, ideal for precise and clear playing in a mix. The Grand Concert format favors clarity and balance rather than a very heavy bass, highlighting arpeggios and tight rhythms. The laurel fingerboard and bridge contribute to a stable playing feel and a coherent overall sound. When plugged in, the Ibanez undersaddle pickup combined with the AEQ2T preamp delivers direct, effective amplification, with a 2-band EQ (Bass, Treble) to quickly adapt the tonal color to the room.
