Construction and woods
The AW247CE-OPN acoustic guitar's large dreadnought body is crafted with laminated okoume back and sides on which a solid okoume top resonates. Accordingly, the steelstring delivers a punchy sound that presents every note with tight basses, multi-faceted warm mids and velvety highs. Thanks to the open-pored finish, the guitar impresses with lively, quick-response dynamics. The slim neck and flat string action also guarantee smooth playability.
Pickup system for stage use
Thanks to the integrated pickup system, which consists of the Fishman Sonicore pickup under the compensated bridge insert and the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp in the upper rib, the Ibanez Artwood AW247CE-OPN is also ideally equipped for amplified use. Here it convinces with a natural output of instrument and playing style, so that nothing stands in the way of expressive guitar playing. The tone can also be perfectly adjusted via the 2-band tone control, while the built-in tuner allows precise tuning during breaks in the game.
