Description
Ibanez AEW120BG NT Natural High Gloss Acoustic Electric Guitar
The AEW120BG delivers a balanced, articulate response across its body with the soft Florentine cutaway providing comfortable access to upper frets without sacrificing acoustic mass. The grand concert proportions and solid construction yield warm projection and clear definition—making it equally effective for tracking acoustic parts, layering textures, or performing live direct to interface. B-stock condition with binding flaws visible on front and back; see images for full assessment.
Tone & Electronics
The solid Sitka spruce top paired with bubinga back and sides creates a bright, focused voice with excellent sustain and minimal feedback when recording amplified. Electronics feature a Fishman Sonicore pickup driving the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp with onboard tuner, delivering balanced XLR and ¼" outputs powered by 9V battery—essential connectivity for direct-to-interface home studio recording and seamless DAW integration.
Build & Recording Stability
A mahogany neck with dovetail joint ensures long-term tuning stability and consistent intonation across multiple takes and sessions, while the 25½" scale and 42 mm nut width provide comfortable fretting geometry for extended recording sessions. Premium components include bone nut and compensated saddle, rosewood fretboard with 20 frets and maple dot markers, and gold die-cast tuning machines with black buttons for reliable tuning hold between overdubs.
