Ibanez AEW51-NT AEW MULTI WOOD ACOUSTIC

Look no further than the Ibanez Artwood AEW for an affordable acoustic-electric with looks and tone to make your audience take notice. The AEW's unique body, with its dramatic waist and plunging Florentine cut, is thin and comfortable in the hands and provides a full sound with reduced stage feedback. A spruce top on a rosewood/maple/walnut body gives this Artwood an uncommonly rich sound and attractive stage looks for an intermediate price. Live players will appreciate the onboard Fishman pickup with dual balanced outputs for splitting a guitar signal between the house and a stage amp, and studio players will appreciate the built-in chromatic tuner for reliable doubling and open-tuning experimentation.

Thin and bold body design has it all - looks, playability, and tone

The Artwood AEW's thinnish body is comfortable to play and amplifies well without feedback - a feature your guests will appreciate whether you're onstage or in the coffee house. A soft Florentine cutaway gives the AEW body a distinctive look that will make audiences take notice, while a natural-sounding onboard Fishman pickup will keep them at attention. Other bold appointments include maple body bonding, an interesting headstock inlay, black tuning knobs, and a spare fretboard with lone double-dot 12th-fret markers.

Carefully selected tonewoods for a natural, full, and balanced sound

Sweetwater guitarists applaud Ibanez for its choice of uncommon tonewoods in a guitar of this price range. This Ibanez AEW features a spruce top for a clear and projecting tone with back and sides made from rosewood, spalted maple, and walnut to warm and direct sound forward. Lead players will appreciate the fast satin neck and daring cutaway for full access to upper frets.

Natural-sounding Fishman electronics with onboard tuner and balanced outs

A long-lasting Fishman Sonicore pickup with independent treble and bass controls gives the Artwood AEW a natural DI tone for live shows and recording applications. Soundchecking with the Artwood is a breeze: dual balanced outputs (XLR and 1/4") provide a low-noise connection between you guitar and a DI box, an acoustic amp, or straight into the PA. And staying in tune between songs is discreet and easy thanks the AEW's onboard LED chromatic tuner.
