Overview
Not a conventional acoustic, this Talman-style Ibanez combines acoustic and electric elements in a double-cutaway, shallow body. A flamed maple top, okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard form the build, finished in blue denim open pore.
The shallow body and increased fret access reduce strain, and the magnetic pickup gives thick warmth and a wide presence. The preamp offers a tuner and two-band EQ. The limitation is that the back wood is listed two ways and no accessories are named.
Who it's for
Electric guitarists, mobile composers and gigging artists who like a shallow body and easy fret access. Players who want a big unplugged acoustic sound should look at a full-depth body.
Pros and cons
- Shallow double-cutaway body
- Magnetic pickup with thick warmth
- Preamp with tuner and EQ
- Light for its type
- Back wood listed two ways
- No accessories named
Performance notes
The magnetic pickup produces a thick warmth and wide-sounding presence, much like an electric guitar's neck pickup. The preamp shapes the amplified tone with a two-band EQ and a tuner. A shallow body trims acoustic volume.
