zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Get an exotic tone and look with this Ibanez acoustic electric guitar. The preamp gives you instant access to chorus, anti-feedback controls, and an onboard tuner.

The universally-praised EW Series pairs gorgeous and exotic tone woods such as Monkey Pod, Cocobolo, Spalted Mango and the new Burl Maple with the fantastic combo of B-Band(R) UST(TM) pickups and newly developed Ibanez SRTc preamps with chorus and onboard tuners, creating instruments that are pleasing to both the eye and the ear. Add in the fact that the EW's are priced so reasonably and you have an unbeatable combination: great looks, great sound and a great price.

Features
- Mahogany Neck

- B-Band(R) UST(TM) Pickup

- Ibanez SRTc Preamp with Chorus, Phase Reverse with Anti-Feedback Frequency and Onboard Tuner

- Balanced 1/4-inch and XLR Outputs

- Ibanez Ivorex II(TM) Nut and Saddle

- Ibanez Advantage(TM) Bridge Pins

- D'Addario(R) EXP(TM) Strings

Ivorex II nut is stronger and more durable than bone and even harder than the original Ivorex. Ivorex II nut allows brilliant highs and more pronounced lows with less mid-range which makes Ivorex II-fitted guitars perfect for amplification.

The biggest advantage on the newly developed Ibanez SRTc preamp is that you can instantly get beautiful chorus sound with the push of one button. This preamp also includes Phase Reverse and Anti-Feedback Frequency controls, plus an onboard tuner.
