Description
The Ibanez MRC10NT Marcin Signature Acoustic-Electric was designed around the playing style of one of the most innovative acoustic guitarists working today. Built for Marcin Patrzalek's highly percussive fingerstyle approach, this model is a great fit for players who want an acoustic that responds equally well to traditional playing, tapping techniques, body percussion, and modern fingerstyle arrangements. Based on Ibanez's flagship AE platform, it delivers the projection, balance, and durability needed for demanding performance styles while incorporating several features tailored specifically to Marcin's approach.
The solid Sitka spruce top paired with pau ferro back and sides produces a clear, articulate voice with strong note separation and excellent dynamic response. The AE body shape is designed to balance comfort and projection, while the X-M bracing system includes a reinforcing wood plate that helps support the body during percussive playing techniques. A Macassar ebony bridge and compensated bone saddle help maximize clarity and sustain, and the specially designed wood and mother-of-pearl appointments give the guitar a distinctive visual identity.
The Comfort Grip nyatoh neck with rounded fingerboard edges feels smooth and approachable, making long practice sessions and complex arrangements easier on the hands. A Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup system captures both the guitar's natural acoustic character and the nuances of percussive playing, making it an excellent choice for stage and studio work alike. We like this for players looking to explore modern fingerstyle techniques or anyone wanting a responsive acoustic that excels beyond traditional strumming and flatpicking.
