Description
The Ibanez AEWC16QA is built for electric players who want an acoustic that doesn't feel foreign under their hands. This cutaway electro-acoustic brings the fast, comfortable neck profile and sleek aesthetics that Ibanez is known for, making it an easy transition for players more comfortable with electric guitars. If you're used to shredding on an RG but need acoustic tones for recording or unplugged sets, this one bridges that gap without forcing you to adapt to a chunky acoustic neck.
The quilted maple art grain top over a basswood body gives this guitar a striking visual appeal, while the sapele back and sides deliver warm mids with enough brightness to cut through a mix. The rosewood fretboard provides focused midrange response that works well for both fingerpicking and strumming. When you need to plug in, the undersaddle pickup captures the acoustic character faithfully, and the AEQ-2T preamp gives you simple bass and treble controls plus an onboard tuner that works even when unplugged.
The Comfort Grip nyatoh neck feels familiar if you're coming from electric guitars - it's not the thick, baseball bat profile you'll find on many traditional acoustics. The rosewood top-loading bridge eliminates the hassle of bridge pins, making string changes quick and straightforward. We've found these to be reliable gigging instruments that hold up well to regular use, and the electronics stay quiet and consistent whether you're running direct or through an acoustic amp.
