Sound & Tone
The solid Caucasian spruce top over solid mahogany back and sides gives this dreadnought a warm, midrange-focused voice with clear attack and enough low-end push for strumming, while the X bracing keeps the response balanced rather than boomy. Bone nut and compensated bone saddle help notes ring with sustain and stay in tune with themselves up the rosewood fingerboard, and the Venetian cutaway makes higher-position melody work practical. It suits flatpicked and strummed folk, country, and singer-songwriter accompaniment, with the Fishman Sonicore pickup and AEQ-SP2 preamp translating that acoustic character to stage or studio through either XLR or ¼" outputs.
Ibanez AW4000CE-BS Artwood Acoustic Electric Guitar Brown Sunburst
The AW4000CE-BS captures a balanced dreadnought voice with its soft Venetian cutaway, offering comfortable reach for overdubs and layering while maintaining the classic acoustic projection needed in your mix. The satin-finished mahogany neck and responsive rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, articulate playing experience across its 20 frets. This instrument bridges traditional acoustic craftsmanship with transparent amplification, engineered to preserve authentic tone whether tracking acoustically or running direct into your interface.
Construction & Materials
Built with a solid Caucasian spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, this dreadnought features X bracing for balanced resonance and controlled projection—critical for recording without overwhelming other tracks. The mahogany neck sports a satin finish for comfortable playability, while the rosewood fingerboard and rosewood bridge contribute warmth and clarity to the instrument's natural tone profile. Tortoiseshell binding adorns the body edges, adding visual distinction to the high gloss sunburst finish.
Electronics & Hardware
The Fishman Sonicore undersaddle pickup captures authentic acoustic character with minimal feedback, ideal for studio recording and live monitoring. The signal routes through an Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp featuring an onboard tuner, powered by a 9V battery for independence from external devices. Both balanced XLR and ¼" outputs integrate seamlessly into professional studio workflows and live rigs. Hardware includes Grover Chrome Open Gear tuners with butterbean knobs for rock-solid tuning stability across recording sessions, complemented by a compensated bone saddle and bone nut for optimal intonation and sustain.
