Ibanez AW80CE Artwood Brown Ale Gradation Electro-Acoustic

General

The AW80CE is the latest addition to the famed Artwood Series from Ibanez. Just like for the other models, the Japanese brand have used a combination of traditional and innovative crafting techniques to build a more than fair-priced electro-acoustic steel-string guitar. Next to being a beautiful sight to behold, the AW80CE offers a lot of enjoyment in terms of sound and playing feel thanks to its cutaway and the rich sound shaped by the solid spruce top.

The AW80CE: Alluring Wood Types and Practical Electronics

The alluring wood types used for the construction, including nyatoh and ovangkol, help to shape pleasantly rounded highs and clear lows. To guarantee optimal sound transfer, the bridge and string nut are made of bone while the special Ibanez T-bar pickup under the bridge combines with the AEQ-TP2 preamp to make sure that the resonance of each string is accurately captured and reproduced.
