Ibanez AEL20E AEL Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Reviews

50 People rated this product :
           10 out of 10
           10 out of 10
"An absolutely must have!"
Feature:
No accessories included. The built in tuner is very useful and the SST pickup is very useable.

Quality:
I am only rating it a 9 because I don't have it long enough to know how it will hold up after time.

Value:
I think this is a really good value as I compared with Fender and Gibson. The salesman really wanted me to buy a Fender that was a $150 more, but in my opinion this guitar sounded crisper and cleaner.

Desirability:
Very aesthetically appealing.

Sound:
This guitar sounds absolutely fantastic. Clear crisp tones that make me want to play for hours. I initially bought an electric, but took it back because I wasn't happy with the sound. After I tried a few acoustics I came upon this one and new it was the one for me.

Ease of Use:
If you can play some chords you can some really clean sounds out of this guitar.

Support:
Have not dealt with them.

Overall:
I plan to keep it forever and will only add to my collection as different moods or interests require a different instrument.

"Wonderful addition"
Feature:
Excellent built in tuner, chromatic. Has a XLR output as well as typical 1/4 inch

Quality:
Binding defect in one small spot, otherwise flawless. Very pretty guitar (I got the red one).

Value:
Again, to find a comparable guitar it would require double the price - I was willing to go that high, glad I didn't have to.

Desirability:
Very sweet top and back, beautiful coloring and grain.

Sound:
Warm dreadnaught sound but with adequate sparkle and high end, sounds great both acoustically and plugged in. I compared to Takamine, Seagull, Washburn, Fender, Martin Sigma, and found that you would need to at least double the price to get comparable sound.

Ease of Use:
Great action, this guitar sang to me. With normal tuning, no fret buzz unless you are trying to kill it

Support:
Have not needed.

Overall:
I play electric more than acoustic, was looking for an upgrade to another acoustic-electric (an Applause from Ovation). This is the 9th guitar in my collection and is my go to guitar for acoustic sounds (more real acoustic than a piezo equipped Parker Fly Deluxe, far deeper and warmer than the Applause).
