Product Description

As an industry leader in the use of exotic tonewoods, Ibanez continues to innovate with their new AEW Series. This fresh approach merges in the AEW23ZW-NT, with a spruce top and elegant zebrawood back-and-sides. The thinner, amplification-friendly body makes it a perfect choice for gigging singer-songwriters.

A "soft" Florentine cutaway provides easy accessibility all the way to the 17th fret. The Fishman Pickup and Ibanez AEQ-SP2 Preamp deliver excellent reproduction and control of tonal characteristics and easy operation, while 1/4" and XLR outputs give you options for a variety of direct plug-in applications.

The exotic zebrawood will give you a distinctive tone and appearance that will garner attention and inspire the imagination. Let yourself be captured by the grandeur of the AEW Series.

As a music major in college I needed an affordable acoustic guitar for my classes but wanted something that I would be proud to have and continue to use long after college. I knew Ibanez was a good name and I LOVED the florentine cut on the AEW series. So I researched them and you know you always hear good and bad things online, and I was nervous to purchase an instrument online without playing it first... but I got it anyway lol! The neck FEELS LIKE AN ELECTRIC!! Which blew my mind.
Now I've played in a few different bluegrass bands and I'll tell you its no martin or taylor, but it has a beautiful bright sound to it acoustically and only gets better when you plug it in. It's so fun and easy to play. 5 out of 5
