Dutiful, Approachable, Ibanez-built Dreadnought Tone

Tone, comfort, and navigability — Ibanez's PF50CE takes every factor into consideration, making it a prime choice for beginning players and experienced acoustic gurus in search of a worthy, travel-friendly instrument. It all starts with a spruce and meranti tonewood combo, supplying resilient and visually pleasing acoustic sonics with more than enough potency to reach a range of genres and play styles with ease. Furthermore, a selection of onboard Ibanez appointments paves the way for seamless handling and intonation support — not to mention an elite Ibanez electronics system for stage-ready tone. It's all completed with an all-around open-pore polyurethane finish to keep playing comfortable and ensure a sightly and traditional look wherever you decide to jam.

Reputable tonewoods construction

The PF50CE's spruce and meranti tonewood recipe factors in strength, tone, and comfort — ensuring you're equipped with an instrument that's both maneuverable and capable of producing a traditional acoustic sound. Around the back and sides, meranti supplies subtle warmth and a well-balanced tonal palette, which is further rounded out by the instrument's traditional spruce top. The result is a definitive acoustic sound that's perfect across a range of play styles and genres — making the PF50CE an ideal option for emerging players and seasoned pros alike in search of a classic sonic platform.

Lined in elite Ibanez upholstery

When it comes to Ibanez's PF acoustic series, zero shortcuts are taken — and it's apparent in the PF50CE's collection of sturdy Ibanez hardware. Up top, chrome die-cast tuning machines and additional hardware provide utmost intonation support for reliable tone on stage and in the studio. Additionally, the PF50CE's white dot fingerboard inlays and 25.5-inch scale length make this acoustic an extremely navigable player — especially with the addition of a smooth meranti neck with a "PC" profile for slick movements from fret to fret. Take it from Sweetwater's 6-string experts: whether you're looking for a first instrument or a reliable roadside strummer, you can't go wrong with Ibanez's PF50CE.

Ibanez electronics system formulates stage-ready tone

Along with toting mighty acoustics for any playing situation, your new guitar will come fully equipped with an elite Ibanez electronics system to ensure you're ready to rock any stage or studio session with the utmost authenticity. Ibanez's AEQ-2T preamp is onboard to manipulate tone to your exact specifications, all with the addition of a built-in tuner to ensure your playing sessions remain in tune and accurate to the rest of your mix. Of course, it's all driven by an under-saddle Ibanez pickup to keep your recordings accurate and with every nuance of tone in tow.

Ibanez PF50CE Features:

  • 6-string acoustic guitar for mobile practice and emerging performers
  • Spruce top with meranti back, and sides supply articulate and tasteful acoustic tone
  • Sturdy meranti neck with dovetail joint and ergonomic neck profile provides comfortable access to all 20 frets
  • Traditional dreadnought body construction with exclusive cutaway access
  • Smooth nandu wood fingerboard with white dot inlays for enhanced navigation
  • Complimentary chrome die-cast tuners and hardware
  • All-around open-pore polyurethane finish exudes comfortable and classic acoustic character

Happily Surprised
My first acoustic guitar. I've been playing electric guitar for 46 yrs. For the low price it's a very good guitar. The built-in tuner works perfectly and when plugged in to my amp it really booms. It has a nice warm tone. Honestly, you don't need to plug it into a amp unless you are playing to a large crowd. The action is perfect. No fret sprout. No knicks, scratches of cuts on the body. Keep in mind that this isn't a shredding guitar, it's a folk guitar. I'm getting use to the size of it because it's thick in the body compared to my thin electric guitars. The only thing I did when I received it was to change the strings to a set of D'Addario steel strings that gave the guitar a better sound and tone and felt better on my fingers.

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because of the quality of wood on the fret board. It's ok but not great.
It came double boxed and I received it fast. I'm happy with this purchase.
Music background: 45+ years of playing electric guitar (rock/electric blues/heavy metal)
