Ibanez EWC30ASE Exotic Wood Mini Acoustic-Electric Guitar

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
This guitar is a triple threat: superior looks, sound, and playability. The appearance and tone of this exotic wood guitar is truly unique.

The Ibanez EWC30ASE delivers both sound and playability -- the two most important components in an instrument. Very few will deny that a standout visual aspect enhances your performance. The appearance and sound of the unique Exotic Wood Series were designed for the player who is looking for a completely new and different voice. You won't find anything else quite like the EW guitars -- even among guitars that are much more expensive.

In 2007, the EW family expands once more with new sonic and visual colors. The new, more compact member of Exotic Wood family, the EWC, features a body thats smaller in size and shallower in depth than the original EWs for increased comfort and acoustic projection.

This guitar will never leave the family I'm sure. Even if my girlfriend gives it away it would be to her 15 yer old daughter, who is already better than us anyway, and she likes this guitar better than the larger EW20 model she already has.
Sound
Both plugged in and unplugged this guitar sounds BEAUTIFUL!
Features
Great electronics, and I love having an onboard tuner! Also Love the XLR out!
Ease of Use
The fretboard is very playable everywhere up, and down the neck. I was not even planning on buying a guitar the day I played my guitar just killing time at my local retailer...... About 2 hours later I said "Do you have LAY AWAY?" Scrounged for the next 3 months to pay for it because I had to have it!
Quality
I can't hardly believe they can even make an instrument of this QUALITY at this price point. I've played $3000.00 Martins, and Taylors, that were not near as playable, and not anywhere near as BEAUTIFUL to look at.
Value
I value mine as the nicest Acoustic Guitar I've ever owned! (Oh yeah, I no longer own it because my girlfriend fell so deeply in love with this guitar I had to give it to her for Christmas. I wonder what I'll get next year....HUM?)
Manufacturer Support
Ibanez is a Quality Company!
The Wow Factor
This is one of the sexiest acoustics out there....She purrs like a kitten and growls like a cat.
