Effortlessly switch between acoustic and electric
The Ibanez AW50ECENT Artwood Acoustic Electric Guitar lets you easily switch from acoustic to electric, and back again. Loaded with a Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez's SST Shape Shifter preamp, you'll appreciate how these effortless transitions make live gigs and studio work a breeze.

Solid Sitka spruce top gives your guitar punch and projection
Ibanez has selected solid Sitka spruce for the AW50ECENT's topwood. With its characteristic broad and strong overtones, Sitka spruce is the classic topwood choice for big-bodied dreadnoughts. The wood's stiffness, combined with its relatively light weight, is a recipe for high-velocity output. Sitka's healthy fundamental-to-overtone ratio gives you powerful projection and punch that holds its own when you're digging in and playing with gusto. This means you get greater dynamic range. More headroom is always a welcome thing, right?
