Ibanez EWC30PDE Exotic Wood Mini Acoustic-Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Mini EW body with cutaway. Padauk top, mahogany body.

Sound and playability are the two most important components in an instrument. But 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 that's smaller in size and shallower in depth than the original EW's for increased comfort and acoustic projection.

Love it. Buy it. You will not regret it.

Sound
This guitar is truly amazing. This is the first reply I've ever given for any product, but I feel it's truly necessary to give you guys an honest but maybe biased opinion. First off the body is small and easy to handle yet the sound does not seem hindered in anyway. The action on the strings is very small and reminds me of playing an electric guitar. Hitting runs and licks on this guitar is effortless. Guitar has never came out of tune on stage and the built in tuner is very accurate. The chorus and reverb effects are easy to dial in. The balanced xlr/mono jacks both work very well(no more trying to find a xlr to mono box to hook into a system). Strait acoustic(no electric) is very strong and for the past year or so that i've played the guitar seems to sound as good if not better than the day I bought it.

Features
Tuner and balanced xlr along with effects and good hardware.

Ease of Use
Small nimble body and low action make this guitar a dream to play especially for any of you musicians that dwell into electric guitar and find acoustic guitars bulky and painful to use.

Quality
I've yet to find any flaws that I didnt cause. Had a strap fall off and drop the guitar and all it did was put an eighth inch crack in the finish.

Value
I play this more than my takame on and read more off stage. (nothing against takame I love them) But my takame cost triple the cost of this guitar.

Manufacturer Support
Never had to deal with anyone on this guitar so i'll put 5

The Wow Factor
