The AEQ-2T preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the bass and treble frequencies, and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in.

- Nandu Wood bridge
The Nandu Wood bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

- Ibanez Advantage bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage(TM) the pin and string stay put.

Beyond pleased with this guitar. The open pore natural finish is BEAUTIFUL; and more of a honey gold than the dull brown in pictures shown. Body is extremely light weight; and the tone is bright and full - with good sustain. Tone is fantastic for it's price and a 4/5 overall - and is only outshined once you start to get up to the 600+ price range. Action was excellent out of the box for a guitar of this price, even on the shipped strings. The neck is thin and easy to play, and my fret board was nicely finished with smooth fret ends and no buzzing frets. I would classify the tone of this guitar as "bright" - but not in a derogatory way. For $199 I don't think you'll find a better looking and playing guitar.
Sound
Bright and clear - excellent translation of highs with less pronounced low end
Features
The body material is light and airy - but the guitar itself plays and feel solid.
Ease of Use
I like to use a sound hole cover on my acoustics - this guitar benefits from this.
Quality
Build quality feels excellent - fit and finish was great - no cracks, poor joints, etc.
Value
Value Champion
The Wow Factor
10/10 I couldn't ask for a better guitar at this price point.
