Ibanez AW4000CE-BS Artwood Series Acoustic Electric Guitar in Brown Sunburst High Gloss Finish
The AW4000CE-BS delivers the balanced playability of a professional dreadnought with a comfortable soft Venetian cutaway and neck dimensions engineered for both traditional and modern playing styles. This instrument balances the rich tonal heritage of acoustic guitar craftsmanship with contemporary electronics and hardware, making it suitable for studio recording, live performance, or serious practice.
Construction & Tone
Built with a solid Caucasian spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the AW4000CE-BS produces warm, resonant tone characteristic of premium dreadnought construction. X-bracing maximizes tonal response, while tortoiseshell binding and backstrip inlay add visual distinction and structural integrity to the instrument.
Playability & Stage Performance
The mahogany neck with satin finish feels fast under the hand, with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard and maple dot position markers for seamless navigation during live sets. The Fishman Sonicore pickup paired with the AEQ-SP2 preamp and onboard tuner captures your natural acoustic voice through balanced XLR and ¼" outputs, keeping your amplified tone transparent and articulate on any stage or in the studio.
