Ibanez AE245JR Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Gig Bag)
This all-mahogany AE245JR generates a woody, warm tone with a soft response when fingerpicking and punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strumming.

for a guitar half way between a 3/4 sized and a full sized, it holds its own. has a nice resonation for an all mahogany guitar...i would not consider this a normal inexpensive beater guitar. i will be recording some songs with it. and plugged in it sounds nice. the open pore gives it a rustic look while sounding nice with a thick pic. the appointments are a good and nicely done extra on the guitar...i would recommend it as a great guitar for a new player for the action is not to stiff as well.

"Jr scale with a nice touch"

Item arrived on time, was surpised
That this guitar was made in China( Cort factory, maybe) but not a deal breaker since quality is good
The wooden tree of life inlay really highlights this guitar, with ovangkol fretboard and bridge, open pore mahogany back and sides. Wood grain really popped up after oiling it. Plain binding(plasticky material) is my only gripe.
Action is spot on and feels like an electric guitar and the 24” scale makes it easy for bends. No fret buzz or sharp fret edges. Guitar holds tune well with its open gear tuners. For electronics, there is an undersaddle pickup and a 1/4 endpin jack, powered by 2 2032 coin batteries, no volume and eq controls , just a plain input to maintain that classic look.
For a junior scale this has good projection fill a medium sized room, with a scalloped x bracing. Sound is warm from the solid mahogany back and sides. Good dynamics and responds well to picking nuances. Bass is not too boomy but this guitar is more attuned to midrange/ higher midrange frequencies. I haven’t tried it plugged but mostly this will be my couch guitar anyways.
This guitar looks more expensive compared to its price with the exception of the plain binding( could have made it abalone to match its soundhole). Overall a good buy!
