AEWC body with curly maple body, cutaway, armrest and Ibanez AEQ-SP2 pickup
As the industry leader in the use of exotic tonewoods, Ibanez continues to focus on innovation with its AEW series. Accordingly, the AEWC400-IBB comes with a body of elegant exotic maple in a stylish Indigo Blue Burst transparent finish. Clear basses, multi-faceted mids and crystal clear trebles are the perfect choice for the singer-songwriter. In addition, the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp with integrated tuner and 3-band equalizer provides perfect control on stage, while providing natural sound reproduction. Chrome-plated die-cast tuners provide tuning stability and precise tuning, while a compensated bridge insert made of Graph Tech TUSQ provides clean intonation and a flat string position. In addition, a shortened scale of 634m ensures a soft and pleasant playability and a rest of the arm provides an ergonomic playing feel.
The Ibanez AEWC400-IBB Transparent Indigo Blue Burst:

Armrest for an ergonomic playing feeling
Compensated bar inlay made of TUSQ for clean intonation
Chrome-plated die-cast tuners for tuning stability
Shortened scale of 634mm for soft playability
Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp with tuner and 3 band equalizer for a transparent sound
If you compare to my Faith Saturn (Dreadnaught), this lacks volume, sustain and base. But I bought for the cutaway, the pre-amp and the mid tone. Acoustically the sound is mellow and refined, but much more reserved, not a criticism just the difference, and one I was after. On the other hand, plug in and amp up and you have a different great sounding guitar. Effortless to play, great looking and sooooo comfortable. This was what I wanted as a contrast, this is what I got. Happy Days. Arrived well set up, down tuned a note and very well packaged.
