Ibanez AW535CE Artwood Acoustic-Electric Guitar

There may not be a better illustration of why Ibanez takes so much pride in its modestly priced Artwood guitars than the Ibanez AW535CENT. The three piece rosewood/flamed maple back is a perfect example of a woodworking appointment you'd expect to find on a guitar costing two or three times as much. The dreadnaught cutaway body shape of the AW535CE, along with the solid Sitka Spruce top, delivers player comfort along with enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end. A Fishman Sonicore Pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into, while the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ, and the convenience of an easy-to-read digital tuner located on the upper bout.

A richly textured Abalone rosette handsomely tops off the natural high-gloss finished top. Grover tuners ensure smooth, accurate, stable tuning.

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.
