Overview
Ibanez builds the GA35TCE as a slender nylon-string acoustic-electric with a spruce top over a mahogany back, sides and neck. Fishman pickups feed an onboard preamp and tuner system, and this one is finished in dark violin burst.
The pitch is a compact, slim guitar for players who strum or work in a fingerstyle manner, with warm lows, clear highs and room left in the midrange for vocals. The preamp brings tuning and an XLR feed to the stage. Several entries are unreliable, including the size, back and pickup fields.
Who it's for
Singers and songwriters who want a plug-in guitar with a gentler string feel and a slender body. Players who need a full-depth classical body, or who want a documented neck width, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Slender thinline cutaway body
- Fishman pickups with onboard preamp
- Built-in tuner and XLR out
- Nylon strings, rosewood fretboard
- Neck width not listed
- Body, pickup and size fields hold stray text
- Dimension entries conflict
Performance notes
Spruce on top of mahogany back and sides gives the warm, present lows and defined highs the maker describes. Plugged in, the pickups feed the preamp, which adds EQ, a tuner and a balanced output. A thin body typically moves less air than a deep one, so the electronics carry more of the load on stage.
