An Ibanez Electro-Acoustic Designed for Modern Playing
This guitar fits within Ibanez's approach to contemporary electro-acoustics: efficient playability, intuitive built-in amplification, and practical choices focused on the musician. The combination of the under-saddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp aims for everyday simplicity, with an onboard tuner that speeds up setup before rehearsals or gigs.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
It is particularly suitable for beginners looking for a reassuring first electro-acoustic, as well as intermediate players who want a guitar ready to plug in without complications. Its configuration is relevant for accompaniment in pop, folk, variety, worship, and any context where fingerstyle and pick playing alternate, with a need for a direct, usable sound in PA systems.
Sound
The under-saddle pickup captures attack and dynamics with the typical definition of piezo systems, particularly useful for standing out in a mix. The Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp allows quick adjustment of the overall balance and a more controlled sound once plugged in, while benefiting from a built-in tuner to maintain perfect tuning between songs. The open pores finish also contributes to a freer resonance feel to the touch, with a very natural tone, appreciated in unamplified acoustic playing.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To use the output, a 1/4" / 6.35 mm instrument jack cable is essential. For amplified use, having a spare 9V battery prevents any unpleasant surprises. For maintenance and tone, sticking to Ibanez IACS6C coated strings (or an equivalent coated acoustic string set) helps preserve the original feel and longevity.
