Ibanez AW4000 BS Artwood Brown Sunburst Gloss Acoustic Guitar 5471

Ibanez AW4000 BS Artwood Brown Sunburst Gloss Acoustic Guitar

This dreadnought acoustic captures a balanced blend of traditional resonance and modern tonal control. The solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides yields a warm, defined voice with articulate note separation—ideal for tracking rhythm parts, fingerstyle arrangements, or hybrid electric-acoustic sessions in the studio. The satin-finished mahogany neck responds predictably during precision recording work and layering passes without tonal inconsistencies.

Construction & Materials

The solid Sitka spruce top is the primary driver of recorded character, while the mahogany back and sides contribute warmth and sustain that translates well through condenser and dynamic microphones. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle ensure reliable intonation across takes and proper string vibration transfer for consistent mic capture. The tortoiseshell body binding and black & white ABS rosette provide traditional aesthetic detail without compromising structural integrity.

Playability & Recording Comfort

The rosewood fretboard with 20 frets spans a 651mm (25.6") scale length, offering familiar string tension and spacing for standard tuning during multi-take sessions. Neck dimensions—43mm width at the nut, 55mm at the 14th fret, 21mm thickness at the 1st fret, and 22mm at the 7th fret with a 400mm radius—are engineered for smooth fretting and consistent chord articulation across repeated takes. The satin finish on the neck reduces friction, enabling extended recording sessions without hand fatigue or performance degradation.
