Ibanez AW4000CE-BS Artwood Series Acoustic Electric Guitar in Brown Sunburst High Gloss Finish
The AW4000CE-BS is built for players who demand both traditional acoustic resonance and the responsiveness needed for modern stages. The dreadnought body settles naturally against your frame, while the satin-finished mahogany neck glides under your hands with smooth, immediately playable feel. This is a guitar engineered to honor acoustic tradition while delivering the electronics and construction quality required for gigging musicians.
Playability & Construction
Neck geometry matters on stage—43mm width at the nut, 21mm thickness at the first fret, and a 400mm radius fretboard create a comfortable, responsive playing experience across all positions without fatigue on long sets. Solid Caucasian Spruce top with X bracing pairs with solid mahogany back and sides to produce a resonant, well-balanced acoustic voice that carries in any room. Rosewood fretboard and bridge provide durability and tonal clarity, while the satin-finished mahogany neck resists fingerprints and allows unimpeded access to all 20 frets when you need them.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Sonicore pickup captures your natural acoustic tone with minimal phase shift, preserving the instrument's character through the PA or recording interface. The Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp with onboard tuner lets you dial in tone on the fly and check intonation without breaking your set. Balanced XLR and ¼" outputs provide flexibility for live rigs or direct recording, with 9V battery power ensuring you're never dependent on external gear or AC outlets.
