Pommele sapele top, back and sides	Warm and inviting tone with excellent projection
Ibanez SRTc with chorus and onboard tuner	Excellent plugged-in tone; onboard tuner & effects
Ibanez B-Band UST pickup	Realistic and transparent tone when plugged in
Rosewood fretboard	Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel

Overview

The universally-praised EW35SPE has Ibanez's original blend of exotic tone woods such as Zebrawood and the Sapele Pommele with a B-Band UST pickup, an Ibanez SRTc preamp with chorus and onboard tuners, all adding up to a show stealing instrument that is as gratifying to admire as it is to play.

The biggest advantage on the Ibanez SRTc Preamp is that you can get a beautiful chorus sound instantly by pushing one button. Its innovative anti-feedback frequency control allows high, loud sound levels onstage without any annoying squeal creeping into the mix. Adjustments are minimal, no more onstage fiddling with your controls - and tuning up is a breeze thanks to the SRTc's convenient onboard tuner.

In addition to the 1/4 in. output jack, a balanced XLR jack is included for direct connection to a PA system. Runs on common, easily obtained, AA batteries.

Cons: no gig bag or case Pros: Has a nice sound unplugged- the clarity of an Ovation guitar but the Ibanez has more volume than an Ovation. Mine has some excess glue by the top frets where the neck and body connection ends. Other than that the guitar is mint unblemished. The electronics are excellent with a phase switch to cancel feedback and a chorus which I have never seen before on a guitar. For the money it is a strong contender in a crowded field, if you want a better guitar you need to spend a few hundred dollars more on a Breedlove.
