Comfortable Grand Concert body

Many guitarists at Sweetwater find that the Grand Concert body style is more comfortable to hold and play than larger body styles. This body style also adds subtle enhancements to midrange frequencies, which helps your tone fit into a mix more easily when you're recording or performing in a band.

Ready to plug in and perform

The comfortable playability of the Artwood AC340CE is a great choice for live performance, and its built-in AEQ-SP2 preamp system means you're ready to plug in without having to install your own electronics. This pickup system even features a built-in tuner, extremely handy for tuning up quickly between songs.

Real bone nut and saddle

If you're familiar with guitar maintenance and modifications, you know that real bone is often the choice of top luthiers for nut and saddle material. These contact points have a big impact on the sound of your instrument, affecting both your frequency balance and your sustain. The Artwood AC340CE features a real bone nut and saddle, setting it apart from many guitars in its class.

Ibanez Artwood AC340CE Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • 6-string acoustic-electric guitar with cutaway
  • Comfortable Grand Concert body
  • Solid okoume top will gain even more harmonic richness as it ages
  • Real bone nut and saddle for premium tone and long-term reliability

More than a beginner guitar..killer value

I picked one of these up at a store and was blown away by the gutty fat string sounds. The neck is very playable and action is set a little high. Great if you also play slide guitar or want to learn it. I bring it to gigs out of its case as there is rarely a place to put cases, or hang it in a net in my sprinter van when traveling and it has proven to be pretty darn bullet proof. I love this guitar and others are always asking me about it as it stands out with the nice dark wood finish. Absolutely great value for the money. The cutaway is important to me for lead and slide playing, and the electronics work fine with a tuner and pickup built in. Good for playing through a sound system.
If buying a guitar for a beginner, spend a bit more on this, or the dreadnought version for only $. I am a big Ibanez acoustic fan now. The nylon string cutaway electric is great too. Love that one as well. But this is my go-to guitar and I have several much more expensive ones. Happy playing!

Very nice

I've been very happy this guitar. It looks great, has a great sound and feel. It's solidly put together and a joy to play.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GUITAR

I just started playing a few months ago and I bought this guitar when I started getting good enough to play the chords. I started on electric and really struggled with the string spacing, as I have quite large hands. I also have trouble making my left hand flat from an old wrist injury, which make forming some of the chords more difficult or even painful on electric or other traditional acoustic guitars. I did some research and found this beauty has slightly wider spacing and thought, "Why the hell not? Any extra spacing has to help." And boy did it!!! Not only did I buy it for the wider spacing but, I also love the colors and the fact that it's acoustic electric, and sounds BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to plug in with my dad or my friend at my next jam. I truly feel like this was worth every penny.

If you have big hands or trouble with spacing in general, or just want a great sounding and great looking guitar, look no further! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GUITAR!!!

Good for the price

Shipped quickly and arrived well set-up and properly intonated, great job by the Sweetwater team. Sounds good for the price point. The wood is nicely figured and open pore finish gives a nice feel, although could be a hair smoother in a few spots that don't impact playability and tbh will buff nicely over time with regular care. The neck is not too thick, the fretwork is solid, and it comes with a bone nut/saddle.

Impressive!

I've been looking for awhile to find the right guitar for me. I've been to store fronts trying different acoustics, couldn't find one that I liked. They were either too expensive or the sound quality was not there. When SW had their sale I decided to take a closer look. I saw that this guitar has a shorter scale and that the strings are a little farther apart. As an older person, my hands have begun to hurt when I play. I can play this guitar without the pain I've experienced with others. I went ahead and paid extra to have the guitar setup, string height and neck adjustment. The thing plays like butter! And the sound…the sound, rich and full. Very happy with this purchase!
