An Electro-Acoustic Designed for Amplified Playing
This setup emphasizes efficiency in real-world conditions: materials chosen for stability, hardware focused on reliability, and above all a complete pickup system (pickup and preamp) designed to deliver a sound that is quickly usable on an amp or PA system. The cutaway enhances this "performance" purpose by facilitating access to the upper neck without sacrificing the overall balance of the instrument.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This electro-acoustic guitar is aimed equally at the motivated beginner and the intermediate guitarist seeking a versatile and reassuring instrument for live performance. It is particularly suited for pop, acoustic rock, folk, blues, and accompaniment both with a pick and fingerstyle playing. Thanks to the magnetic pickup, it remains comfortable when volume increases, while maintaining a clear attack and good dynamic control.
The Sound
The ash top provides a crisp attack and clear definition, useful for highlighting rhythmic playing and arpeggios, while the mahogany (back, sides, and neck) adds body, present mids, and a warm feel. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge contribute to a rounder response, with pleasant sustain and balanced harmonic texture.
On the amplification side, the AP2 magnetic pickup emphasizes precision and stability (especially on stage), with a direct and articulate output. The AEQ200M preamp allows adjustment of volume and tone to easily fit into a mix, whether in rehearsal or concert.

Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Electro-acoustic guitar praised for its compact size, lightweight design, and excellent value. Customers said "beautiful design" with "very pleasant neck" similar to electric guitars. The integrated tuner and sustain impressed shoppers. Some noted string height requires adjustment and stock strings should be replaced for optimal metallic-free sound.

Very nice guitar, original design. Small size, thin, lightweight and easy to handle. Very pleasant handle (the Ibanez quality is there!) , string spacing as on an electric one. The preamp offers a built-in tuner! Good surprise because the info does not appear on the product sheet...
In terms of sound, you have to quickly change the strings to better appreciate it, those delivered originally produce a rather ugly metallic sound (even after playing Fast-Fret and wearing your fingers on it). I only tested it acoustically (without amp).
In any case: no rumbling string noise, overall sustain rather amazing.
Very good product, quality/price ratio more than adequate.
However, I take one point out in terms of quality, the finish may seem a bit âcheapâ: we might have preferred something more successful in terms of the rosace/protective plate: there is no real pickgard, only a trompe-l'oeil.Automatically translated

Good morning everyone,
An unbeatable price, free shipping, payment in 3 installments free of charge, follow-up of each stage of the delivery, ordered on Monday, received on Thursday morning in very correct packaging.
There's Woodbrass that's it, limit perfection!
As for the guitar, superb in addition, nothing to say, I am not a professional, but it âthrows awayâ both in terms of look and sound!

Nothing to say about the delivery times, the packaging seems a bit fair to me, but after all, the guitar arrived in perfect condition.
On the guitar, a bit disappointed by the very dark hue of the body, so it loses a bit of its beauty. As for the sound, nothing to say, no surprise because I had already played on this guitar, that's why I wanted it.Automatically translated

It is a guitar with a good sound given the size of its trunk. Both precise and harmonic with adequate sustain and power.
Once connected to the amp the size does not matter and we get a very good result.
A great quality/price ratio.
Frankly I am proud to have purchased this guitar which is both aesthetic and effective.Automatically translated
