Dreadnought electro acoustic guitar with solid top and Ibanez pickup system
The Ibanez Artwood AW54CE-OPN Open Pore Natural is a dreadnought electro acoustic guitar and offers a full range of stage-ready features at an extremely attractive price. The powerful body not only features a solid okoume body for a powerful, warm sound, but a cutaway for unhindered access to the higher positions of the Nyatoh neck as well. Furthermore the integrated pickup system provides a natural amplified sound without adulterating the character of the instrument and player.
The Ibanez Artwood AW54CE-OPN features a solid mahogany top and a pickup system for stage use.
Ibanez Artwood AW54CE-OPN
The large dreadnought body of the Artwood AW54CE-OPN acoustic guitar features laminated Okoume back and sides, on which a solid Okoume top vibrates. As a result, this steelstring delivers a powerful sound image that presents every note with tight basses, multi-faceted, warm mids and velvety highs. Thanks to the open-pored finish, the guitar convinces with a lively, fast-responding dynamic. The slim neck and flat string action guarantee smooth playability.
Stage-ready pickup system
The Ibanez Artwood AW54CE-OPN is also well equipped for amplified use, thanks to the integrated pickup system, which consists of the Fishman Sonicore pickup under the compensated saddle and the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp in the top frame. It delivers a natural output of the instrument and playing style, so that nothing stands in the way of expressive guitar playing. The 2-band EQ allows for precise tone adjustment, whereas the built-in tuner allows for accurate tuning during pauses.

Really crisp sounding acoustics, with easy playability. Love the deep mahogany tone from this guitar. In terms of delivery: it came in a well secured and protected box before the predicted delivery date, so i was very pleased.
Can't fault this guitar, especially at the price I paid (£244). Well made, looks great and it has fantastic warm sound with plenty of punch, both acoustically and through an amp.
