Ibanez PF28ECETRS PF Series Acoustic Guitar in Transparent Red Sunburs
Description
Ibanez PF28ECETRS PF Series Acoustic Guitar in Transparent Red Sunburst
This cutaway dreadnought sits comfortably in hand with its mahogany neck and thoughtfully contoured body—the offset upper bout puts high frets within easy reach for lead lines and solo work. The Transparent Red Sunburst finish over a flamed maple top catches stage light with striking visual depth, while the gloss finish throughout maintains a professional stage appearance. This B-Stock unit shows minimal cosmetic wear that does not affect playability, making it an excellent value for performers and session players.
Tone & Electronics
The flamed maple top paired with mahogany back and sides produces warm, focused midrange with articulate treble response—responsive to both fingerstyle picking and strumming dynamics on stage. Built-in Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp with onboard tuner deliver reliable amplified tone, with 1/4" output for direct connection to live sound systems or recording setups.
Build & Hardware
Professional construction designed for the gigging musician includes 20 frets on a rosewood fretboard with matching rosewood bridge, X bracing for consistent tonal projection, and ivory body binding for structural durability and stage-ready appearance. Hardware consists of chrome die-cast tuners that hold tuning through sets and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, with coated bronze strings pre-installed and ready to play.
