Sound & Tone
The solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides give this dreadnought a warm, woody voice with clear note definition and solid sustain, the spruce adding brightness and projection while the mahogany keeps the midrange full rather than boomy. The bone nut and compensated bone saddle help string energy transfer cleanly, supporting even response across the range and accurate intonation up the 25.6" scale. It suits flatpicked rhythm, folk and country strumming, and singer-songwriter accompaniment, with enough clarity for fingerstyle passages and open-chord work.
Ibanez AW4000 BS Artwood Brown Sunburst Gloss Acoustic Guitar
This dreadnought acoustic cuts through on stage with a balanced, articulate voice that sits well in a mix. The solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides produces warm, resonant tones with clear definition—essential for live work and recording sessions. The satin-finished mahogany neck plays smooth and fast, staying comfortable through long sets without neck fatigue or hand strain.
Construction & Materials
The solid Sitka spruce top is engineered for projection and tonal punch, while the mahogany back and sides deliver the warmth and sustain that anchors a player's sound. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle guarantee solid intonation stability and efficient energy transfer from strings to body. The tortoiseshell body binding and black & white ABS rosette provide traditional aesthetic detail without compromising structural integrity.
Playability & Feel
The rosewood fretboard with 20 frets spans a 651mm (25.6") scale length, delivering familiar string tension and spacing for standard tuning across your entire hand. Neck dimensions—43mm width at the nut, 55mm at the 14th fret, 21mm thickness at the 1st fret, and 22mm at the 7th fret with a 400mm radius—are built for smooth fretting action and effortless chord transitions. The satin finish on the neck glides under your hand, reducing friction during extended playing without fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and what cosmetic issue does this guitar have?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional and plays identically to new stock, with only minor cosmetic imperfections. This AW4000 has a minor cosmetic scratch near the neck strap knob and is priced accordingly.
Is this guitar suitable for beginners?
Yes. The 43mm nut width and carefully dimensioned neck profile are comfortable for players at all skill levels, including beginners. The responsive, balanced feel makes it forgiving during the learning process.
What styles of music is this guitar best for?
The AW4000 excels in folk, country, indie, and worship music. Its warm, articulate tone and sustain suit fingerstyle and strummed approaches; it is not optimized for metal or hard rock.
How does the neck feel compared to other acoustics?
The satin-finished mahogany neck has a 400mm radius and profile dimensions (21mm at the 1st fret, 22mm at the 7th fret) that balance comfort with control. The satin finish reduces friction for smooth fretting during extended play sessions.
Does the bone nut and saddle make a real difference?
Yes. The bone nut and compensated bone saddle ensure proper intonation and efficient string vibration transfer to the body, which directly improves tone clarity and sustain compared to plastic alternatives.
