I recently bought this guitar as one I could just take everywhere with me. I have a Taylor but don't always like to bring that guitar out camping and stuff. This guitar is amazing and the action and sound quality are almost unbelievable. This can be an everyday guitar and I would record with it. Outstanding job by ibanez on this one and for only 200.00, i'm not lying when I say it sounds as good as 700.00 guitars... Go try one out you will be amazed.

Just got this beauty yesterday and only spent an hour last evening so far, but know this is what I've been looking for as my main acoustic. Several months ago I had my eye on a mahogany solid top guitar. I was sure the Taylor was it, but held off after testing several Taylor non-mahogany versions. Main reason was that I'd go back to my Takamine G series and ask, why? The Takamine sounded great. However, I was in Guitar Center picking up strings and picked up a few acoustics for fun and this one stood out in terms of balance, depth and sustain if that makes any sense. Not only that, but the neck just fit so well in my hands it was easier to hit chords. The neck is narrower and thinner than my Takamine, so my fingers reach over the fretboard so much easier. The narrow neck makes barre chords easier. It was setup perfectly right out of the box. Action is lower than my Takemine. There is barely any clearance off the first fret and zero buzz. Before this came yesterday, I stopped by Guitar Center to look for a case and tried out a $1000 Martin Mahogany. Not sure the model, but this Ibanez sounded and played as well. The neck feels better than the Taylor. If you like acoustic guitar, this mahogany top is a must. And supposedly they only improve with age.

I bought this guitar figuring it would make a good back up for messing around and taking places with me I wouldn't want to take my more pricey guitars to. This thing is beyond what I expected. It is actually quite beautiful. The sound is amazingly clear, crisp, with some punch to it and it has a long sustain. Great tones all around. Super fun to play. A very pleasing voice from this all wood acoustic. There's no bells and whistles on this thing and no electronics. So I can see where they cut the costs in producing this guitar. Surprisingly it stays in tune through some rough playing. I used a hair dryer to carefully peel off the pick guard. Wow, is this guitar even prettier! Bottom line is that this guitar is very worth the 200 bucks. I find it sounds as good as so many guitars priced a few hundred dollars more. I can't imagine any other guitar being a better value for the money than this one.

I got this and And have been playing it all weekend! I never take the time to rate and review anything ever but this time I feel it's necessary! I've played a few acoustic guitars and been playing on and off for awhile. This is by far the best guitar I have ever owned. I've never spent alot of money on em because I'm on and off again but this guitar is amazing even the strings it came with sound nice! I can't put it down and even when I'm not paying it I'm thinking about it! If your looking for a good acoustic guitar and on a budget BUY THIS ONE you will not regret it I promise youthat! Also very satisfied with zzound it was here on time and packaged nicely with no scuffs or dings and strung right. I had to tune the high E barley out of the package and just went to tune it after a weekend of playing and she is still in tune perfectly. All around I'm satisfied!!

Even if you don't need this guitar BUY IT! For $50 bucks a month it's a no brained. The sound of it and playability of it are unbelievable. It is very warm and LOUD. I'm so very happy with it!

I got my AW54 today. I've been playing it for a couple of hours already. Neesless to say I love it. Ibanez has really got something here. This is bare bones but absolutely lovely all the same. I can't imagine how awesome their ADV9MH must be lol. I like this Artwood as good if not better than my Yamaha FG800 and the FG800 is a fantastic guitar in its own right.I do have two complaints tho minor. The sticker in the soundhole is crooked. Sloppy. Also the strap botton is in a crappy place. But to me this and the Yamaha are the top two in the 200 price range.

Where to start........It was packed up great........It came set up........Strings are awesome.......Beautiful tone.......I would have paid double for it.......Pictures do not do it justice........zZounds is absolutely an awesome company, I buy all of my musical gear from these guys they are doing things the right way. Don't bother with spending anymore money on an acoustic, you will be missing out if you do.

I have had this guitar for a couple months and the sound has already opened up. I play prolly about 1 hour per day. I enjoy this guitar more n more. Very solid build didnt like the finish at first or the okume wood. But it has grown on me and i now like the vintagy finish. The okume is not quite as dark sounding as mahogany but is very balanced. I have gotten several compliments on the sound and the finish! Anyway if you are considering this beauty you wont regret it when it gets in your hands.

Needed an everyday guitar. Found OPN feature interesting. I have an Aw300NT with Bubinga wood Extremely nice guitar. But I don't play it everyday. So I bought the AW54. Wow I like the OPN finish just wish cleaning instructions for this type of finish was provided. But it looks great. Stays in tune. And is really a great guitar for the price.

First zZounds is great,I got super fast shipping and a great payment plan. The guitar is really unbeleavable. It was set up great ,right out of the box,fit and finish are very good,and the tone! Its got tons of warm mids.and bass,and the treble has a sweet tone.I really did say out loud,how did Ibanez do this? For $199.? This would make a great guitar to learn with and anyone that is looking for a warm toned acoutic should consider this really great guitar.Its sugar sweet!

Been playing for 20 years now and I have to say this guitar holds its own against a high dollar model. I got it for just a strum around guitar and I’m blown away by the build and sound quality. You do get a slight buzz with heavier strumming but can be fixed with a slight adjustment. It’s playability is wonderful rather you’re a seasoned vet, or a beginner. Highly recommend it.

This does not Look... feel or sound like a two hundred dollar guitar! I have never received a new guitar so well setup! Wow! I am so impressed with Ibanez that I ordered another model (AG75) beautiful Red burst. It also came nicely set up.
