Outstanding Beginner Acoustic Guitar from Ibanez

The AEWC400 from Ibanez is a beautifully designed acoustic-electric with great tonewoods and fine appointments normally only found on more expensive instruments. Featuring an all-maple body, the AEWC400 delivers balanced, full tone with rich projection. A smooth nyatoh neck and walnut fingerboard are instantly playable and responsive. The onboard Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez AEQ-SP2 electronics also give you wonderful amplified acoustic tone when you are ready to plug in.

Comfortable body design

The thinner body depth of the AEWC series acoustics makes them comfortable and ideal for hours of performance. The smaller body design is not only lighter, but it also keeps boomy feedback at bay. The soft Florentine cutaway provides effortless access all the way up the neck to the 17th fret as well. Guitarists here at Sweetwater agree that the AEWC400 is an outstanding beginner to emerging player acoustic as well as a great campfire or beach guitar.

Outstanding

Whoever designed this guitar must have had a Ph.D in ergonomic and aesthetic design, the bevels and curves on this instrument are ingenious. It is a beautiful instrument. If I had ever seen one up close and personal I would have walked out of the store with it. None of the online images do it justice. The fit and finish are as perfect as any I've seen, and all this for only $. The sound is full and balanced. You don't need to plug it in, but if you do you have both a 1/4" input as well as an SLR. The onboard tuner is awesome as well. I don't like the heavy strings that come with it, I replaced the 12's with 10's, a little light on the treble side but for me improves the playability. I've recently played every acoustic available to me including a high end Martin in search of an acoustic. I choose Ibanez.

I love this guitar!

I bought this guitar 4 months ago and I happy super happy with it. It caught my attention because it was pretty, and I selected it because the reviews said it plays great. I have not been disappointed on either of those points. Out of the box it was beautiful! I've looked over every inch of it, and the finish is flawless. I forgot to order a set up from Sweetwater, but it was still very easy to play out of the box. I later had it set up by a local luthier, and man! It's smooth as silk now. My Sweetwater rep, Benjamin, was very supportive and called more than once to make sure I was happy. Five stars all around!

Great Guitar

I bought this guitar back in March and have hardly touched my electric guitars since. It sounds great plugged or unplugged and I get compliments all the time on its sound. Shout out to Sweetwater tech staff for setting it up just the way I like it.

Even prettier in person

The flame on this is so 3D, looks better than the pictures can show so that was a pleasant surprise.

Plays wonderfully and I like the arm carve more than I expected. For the price it's a wonderful guitar. Very happy with this purchase, Ibanez is really doing awesome with these acoustics in looks, sound, and value.
