Overview
The Ibanez AW54JR-OPN is a great option for those seeking the perfect starter guitar for a young player, or for the experienced player who may be more comfortable on a smaller instrument. This guitar employs a scaled down version of the popular dreadnaught body style with the added benefit of a nicely positioned forearm contour for added comfort while playing.
The Solid Mahogany top, along with the Mahogany back and sides produce a full, robust tone that provides a solid presence suitable for solo performances or to sit perfectly in the mix when performing with a group. The satin finish on the Mahogany neck allows the player to move effortlessly up and down the neck for fast and accurate playing.
The "open pore" finish creates a more vintage feel, while also permitting the tone woods to breathe, producing an unencumbered, balanced, and natural tone. The AW54JR-OPN is well suited for the beginner, ready to meet the needs of the professional, or ideal for someone needing the perfect traveler guitar.

"AMAZING GUITAR"
Really great sound for a small guitar. Very balanced, not too thin. Expressive and rich, a little bit bluesy. I am experienced player and wanted something smaller as I am only 5’2”. Mine was perfectly set up and plays beautifully. The Matt finish is quite dark and very rustic (not to everyone’s taste). I put on white bridge pin and a more pleasing pickguard. It now looks much better. It is my ‘go to’ guitar now.
