Description
Sound & Tone
The flamed maple top over mahogany back and sides gives this cutaway dreadnought a warm, focused midrange with articulate treble, while X bracing keeps the projection and sustain even across the range — a balance that handles fingerstyle passages and full strumming equally well. Coated bronze strings and a rosewood fretboard and bridge round off the attack slightly, and the cutaway with offset upper bout keeps upper-fret work within reach for melodic playing. The Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp with onboard tuner send that voice straight to a PA or interface, making it a practical fit for singer-songwriters, worship players, and folk or country settings that move between stage and recording.
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.

B-Stock means the PF28ECETRS is fully functional with no defects in playability or sound—it shows only minimal cosmetic wear from display or handling, with no impact on performance or tone quality.
Is this guitar suitable for fingerstyle and strumming?
Yes. The warm midrange and articulate treble tone profile, combined with responsive mahogany construction and X bracing, make it well-suited for both fingerstyle and strumming across folk, singer-songwriter, and studio applications.
What electronics are included, and can I plug it directly into a PA or interface?
