The new PA acoustic series from Ibanez aims to bring a new level of fine-tuned playability and tone to modern fingerstyle players. This line features a uniquely shaped asymmetrical jumbo body with slightly more surface area on the upper side of the body. This shape generates a rich low end, and offers easier access on the treble side for tapping, making this an optimal design for incorporating percussive elements. The bridge, and body cutaway are also specially shaped making them better suited as tapping surfaces so that multiple sounds and dynamic variations can be incorporated into the percussive playing elements. The PA series also utilizes a multiple pickup system featuring a contact pickup and stereo outputs. This electronics package creates an incredible array of sounds and the pickups are positioned in prime locations to capture the multifaceted nuances of fingerstyle playing.
Your ticket to large, dramatic jumbo-body tone is the Ibanez PA230E Acoustic-Electric Guitar. With a solid cedar top and okoume back and sides, this gorgeous acoustic produces powerful treble, robust midrange, and woody bass end. Whether you're fingerpicking or flatpicking, the stunning 5-piece African mahogany and pau ferro neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard gives flawless response and playability. A superb amplified acoustic tone is produced by an inbuilt Ibanez AP11 pickup when you connect in, mesmerizing both you and your audience.
