The Artwood series is the embodiment of what might be called the Ibanez "modern approach to tradition." Cutting edge woodworking technology enables the guitar maker's luthiers to reproduce the sophisticated bracing techniques of one-of-a-kind instruments of yesteryear.

While tradition is obviously the hallmark of the Artwood series, the company's decades-long search for the ultimate in acoustic tone has contributed to design alterations that give Artwood a voice all its own.

The dreadnought body shape of the Ibanez AW450, along with the solid Cedar top, delivers an enormous frequency range. The Cedar top also serves up slightly more mid-range emphasis (when compared to Sitka Spruce tops) as well as a full-bodied low end. A special satin finish treatment to the back and sides means less overall finish is applied to the guitar allowing it to breathe better.

A simple, clean, multi rosette handsomely appoints a high-gloss finished top. Grover tuners ensure smooth, accurate, stable tuning.
