Ibanez - AEWC16QA-TLH Transparent Blue Sunburst

The Ibanez AEWC16QA-TLH Transparent Blue Sunburst is designed for electric guitarists who want to make the switch to acoustic without losing their playing cues. The AEWC's slim, modern design is reminiscent of the feel of a solid body guitar, with a quick grip, a comfortable body against the chest and fluid playability along the entire length of the neck. You'll quickly feel at ease, even if you come from a rock or metal background.

The Comfort Grip nyatoh neck plays a big part in this feeling. Its profile encourages a relaxed hand and good precision, whether you're playing open chords, arpeggios or faster passages. The rosewood fingerboard provides a balanced response, with a clear midrange that's pleasant both when playing softly and when attacking harder.

The Quilted Maple Art Grain top on a basswood base catches the eye with its distinctive grain, while the sapele back and sides add a warm, well-defined tone. This choice of wood makes for an expressive guitar, with controlled projection and clarity in the midrange.

On the amplification side, the Ibanez Undersaddle pickup faithfully reproduces the acoustic character of the instrument. The AEQ-2T preamp, with bass and treble controls and built-in tuner, makes it easy to set up on stage or at home. The top-loading rosewood bridge makes it easy to change strings every day. A guitar for pop, acoustic rock, modern fingerstyle or hybrid electro-acoustic playing, with a refined, high-end feel.
