Ibanez PF16MWCE-OPN Open Pore Natural at a glance

The Ibanez PF16MWCE-OPN Open Pore Natural is an ideal choice for guitarists and guitarists who want to take their first steps on stage and Studio. The electro-acoustic dreadnought Western guitar with top and body made of okoume produces a full, bass-heavy sound that can also be played amplified thanks to the in-house pickup system. At the same time, its design in the form of an open-pore Natural finish, a functional as well as attractive Tortoise pickguard and an Acrylic Pearl rosette and single-ply binding also meets the visual demands of a stage instrument.

Selected tonewoods for a powerful sound

With top, back and sides made of okoume, the Ibanez PF16MWCE-OPN Open Pore Natural produces a decidedly full sound with incisive mids and prominent basses. At the same time, the string vibration is transmitted directly through the bay bridge with its compensated bone bridge inlay to the top, producing a natural, warm tone. Meanwhile, the necessary assertiveness is provided by the voluminous dreadnought build and the open-pored finish, which contribute to improved vibration characteristics and present the overall sound at an impressive volume.

Accommodating Playability and Handling

While the generous 48mm nut width is tailor-made for fingerstyle acrobatics, chrome-plated die-cast tuning machines guarantee high tuning stability for consistent tonal performance. In addition, the velvety Nyatoh neck with laurel fingerboard fits comfortably in the hand and allows effortless gliding of the picking hand over all 20 frets, whereby even the high positions are easily accessible due to the generous cutaway. String changes are also completely straightforward thanks to the Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins, which feature an integrated stopper that makes them far easier to grip and remove.

Ibanez Undersaddle Pickup and AEQ-2T Preamp

For a great sound when playing amplified, the model features an Ibanez Undersaddle pickup, which transmits the natural sound to the amplifier without distortion. The AEQ-2T preamp in the upper frame allows individual adjustment of volume, bass and treble and also has an integrated tuner for perfect tuning of the instrument.
