All-okoume Acoustic-electric from Ibanez

The Ibanez Artwood AW5412 is an all-okoume cutaway dreadnought that looks amazing and delivers wonderful acoustic tone. The AW5412 features a solid okoume top that will increase in harmonic richness as it ages, as well as okoume back and sides. An ovangkol bridge and fingerboard also support the tonal richness and complexity of this instrument. In addition, a Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with onboard tuner deliver stellar amplified tone when you plug in. Players here at Sweetwater really appreciate the Ibanez Artwood AW5412 for its playability and quality appointments.

All-okoume body means great tone

The Ibanez Artwood AW5412's all-okoume cutaway dreadnought body is truly a delight. Okoume is a tonewood known to age beautifully in both looks and tone and delivers a complex and balanced blend of high, mid, and low tones that are great for unplugged as well as amplified performance.

Solid electronics delivers great amplified tone

The Ibanez Artwood AW5412's built-in Ibanez AEQ210TF preamp and Fishman Sonicore pickup give you the power and tone you need for use onstage or in the studio. The AEQ-TP2 active preamp gives you a 2-band EQ, which make it easy to get great sound in virtually any venue. You'll also love the convenience of the built-in guitar tuner.

Ibanez Artwood AW5412 Acoustic-electric Cutaway Guitar Features:

  • All-okoume body with solid top delivers stellar acoustic tone
  • Satin nyatoh neck provides excellent playability
  • Ovangkol bridge and fingerboard support overall tone
  • Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp and pickup produce great amplified tone

Ibanez AW5412CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Open Pore Natural

I recommend this guitar model to many who love the brand Ibanez.The guitar is made under a natural tree and it from my point of view makes a guitar better.The fact that the guitar is not fully varnished makes the wood of the guitar much softer in sound.I have another 12 string electric acoustic guitar Ibanez,which is completely covered with varnish,and because of this, the acoustic sound of the guitar is more deaf and does not have a soft sonorous melodiousness.The pickups on both guitars are the same.In its price category, this guitar model deserves to be called very good or maybe excellent for someone.I recommend.
Rated 4/5

Ibanez twelve-string electric acoustic guitar.

The guitar is pretty good and comfortable.Sounds very good for this price.If someone does not want to spend big money, I advise you to buy.
Rated 5/5

Very Pleased!

First of all, a big thanks to Sales Engineer Nick Church for helping me with my search for a reasonably-priced 12-string acoustic-electric! I saved a little money on this "demo" model. Nick sent photos and explained a few minor scratch issues which turned out to be unnoticeable. This Ibanez just feels, looks, and sounds beautiful! The guitar was delivered just two days after I ordered it. Very pleased with the Sweetwater experience!
Rated 5/5

Great Guitar For The Price!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this Ibanez 12 string but pleasantly surprised at how good this guitar sounds at the price point. Very rich mids and highs, and good tight low end. It was set up well out of the box, I have no need to take it to my local shop for a setup. I'm very pleased at how it plays and sounds!
