Overview

Ibanez makes the AW54CE as a six-string acoustic-electric in open pore natural, with an Okume top, a mahogany body and a cutaway shape. Built-in electronics are mentioned in the title but not described.

The title pitches this model at acoustic performance and recording, which fits the cutaway and the electronics. Woods are listed clearly, from the top to the Nyatoh neck. Nothing is said about the electronics themselves, the dimensions or the warranty.

Who it's for

Players who want an Artwood-style acoustic with a plug-in option for gigs or home recording. Buyers who want to compare pickup systems or neck dimensions will find the listing silent.
