Description
The Ibanez FRH20QMNCTL is a nylon-string acoustic-electric built for players who want nylon tone with electric-style comfort. It's part of the FRH series, designed specifically for guitarists who want classical-inspired sound without giving up the familiar feel of an electric. Between its slim body, high fret access, and narrow 1.81" nut, this guitar is all about smooth, easy playability. It also cuts feedback by ditching the traditional soundhole, making it a solid pick for both home practice and live performance.
It features a Quilted Maple top paired with Sapele back and sides, giving you warmth in the mids and clarity across the spectrum. An Ibanez undersaddle pickup runs through the AEQ210T preamp, which includes a 2-band EQ and onboard tuner-great for dialing in your sound fast. One thoughtful touch is the side sound port. It lets you hear more of the guitar's natural acoustic voice while keeping the audience-facing body clean and feedback-resistant.
The C-shaped Nyatoh neck feels familiar and fast, and the 15.75" radius fingerboard gives it a modern, comfortable touch. It's more compact than a traditional classical, but the fan bracing and nylon string tension still deliver that mellow, articulate tone. For anyone crossing over from electric, this hits a sweet spot. We've had great luck with these in the shop-they're reliable, stage-friendly, and easy to integrate into any rig.
