A Great Value in a Solid-top Mahogany Acoustic

This left-handed Ibanez Artwood AW54 acoustic guitar is a perfect first dreadnought for anyone searching for a playable and excellent-sounding instrument that won't break the bank. Outfitted throughout with solid mahogany, your AW54 acoustic guitar will give you the depth and projection you'd expect from a dreadnought, with powerful fundamentals and rich overtones. At Sweetwater we know you need to hear the nuances of your playing come through, and you'll appreciate the AW54's easy response whether you're strumming or fingerpicking. Don't settle for a second-rate acoustic - pick up a bold and balanced Ibanez Artwood AW54 acoustic guitar from Sweetwater.

Artwood: high-quality tonewoods and amazing value

The magic of Ibanez's Artwood series acoustic guitars comes from their combination of quality tonewoods and fine construction techniques. To make the Artwood AW54 acoustic a great-sounding yet affordable guitar, Ibanez began by selecting the best materials for the money and then applied decades upon decades of guitar-crafting experience to them. When you pick up your AW54, you'll be amazed by how fine this affordable acoustic guitar really is.

Solid mahogany construction gives your guitar a rich sonic signature

With its strong fundamentals and ample sustain, mahogany is a bold choice for a big-bodied dreadnought. To help balance the naturally warm tone of mahogany, Ibanez employs X bracing on the AW54 to give you wide-ranging tone that doesn't become too muddy or indistinct.

Dreadnought body style provides plenty of acoustic projection

The dreadnought body shape like the one Ibanez designed the AW54 with has been one of the most popular acoustic guitar body styles ever since it hit the guitar-playing world. Why? Because back in the day, guitarists had to rely solely on the natural projection of their instruments, and the dreadnought body style provided plenty of sound-slinging power. Even these days, with PA systems easily at hand, you'll love the clarity and punch of your AW54 acoustic dreadnought guitar every time you pick it up.

Ibanez Left-handed Artwood AW54 Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Great acoustic guitar look, sound, and feel
  • Left-handed
  • Dreadnought body provides you with plenty of natural projection
  • Mahogany construction sounds rich and full, with ample sustain

Rated 5/5

Great Sound and quality at an affordable price

For the past couple of months, I have been doing my research on guitars in the $200-500 range. I finally made up my mind on this one due to all of the positive comments it has been getting on several different guitar forums and Youtube. Listen folks, this guitar sounds amazing and is very easy on the eyes. The guitar looks better in person compare to the pictures. I would compare the tone to a lot of the Martin guitars. The action is just right and is much easier to play than previous guitar. Please don't just take my word for it though, research for yourself.
