Description
Sound & Tone
The spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides gives this classical a clear, focused voice with warm midrange support, while the thin body keeps the acoustic output tighter and more controlled than a full-depth classical — less room-filling bloom, but easier to manage on stage. The Ibanez under-saddle pickup and AEQ303 preamp with 3-band EQ let you shape brightness and body when plugged in, so it suits amplified settings as much as quiet practice. It fits fingerstyle, classical study, bossa and Latin rhythm work, and singer-songwriter parts where a mellow nylon tone needs to sit under a vocal, with the Venetian cutaway opening up the upper frets for melody lines.
B-Stock guitar with scratches on the headstock. Please see images for more detail.
The Ibanez GA5TCE is an acoustic classical guitar. A great value for those looking for an affordable classical guitar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for beginners?
Yes—the GA5TCE is designed for beginner and intermediate players and offers excellent value for learning classical, folk, and fingerstyle techniques. The rosewood fingerboard and mahogany neck provide comfortable playability for developing proper hand position and technique.
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional with no defects affecting sound or playability; this unit has scratches on the headstock. All original hardware, electronics, and tonal characteristics remain unchanged, making it an ideal way to save money on a reliable instrument.
Does this guitar have a pickup and preamp?
Yes, it includes an Ibanez under-saddle pickup paired with an Ibanez AEQ303 preamp featuring a 3-band EQ, letting you amplify and shape your tone for small venues, rehearsals, and home recording.
What genres and styles is this guitar best for?
The GA5TCE excels in classical, folk, and fingerstyle repertoire. It is not designed for metal or hard rock, which typically require different body styles and tonal characteristics.
How does the thin body affect the sound and playability?
The thin classical body reduces weight for comfort during long playing sessions and delivers a warm, balanced response with clear treble definition. The Venetian cutaway provides easier access to higher frets while maintaining the resonance and sustain expected from a classical design.
