Description
Sound & Tone
The flamed maple top over mahogany back and sides gives this cutaway dreadnought a warm, focused midrange with articulate treble, while X bracing keeps the projection and sustain even across the range — a balance that handles fingerstyle passages and full strumming equally well. Coated bronze strings and a rosewood fretboard and bridge round off the attack slightly, and the cutaway with offset upper bout keeps upper-fret work within reach for melodic playing. The Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp with onboard tuner send that voice straight to a PA or interface, making it a practical fit for singer-songwriters, worship players, and folk or country settings that move between stage and recording.
Ibanez PF28ECETRS PF Series Acoustic Guitar in Transparent Red Sunburst
This cutaway dreadnought captures responsive finger articulation with its mahogany neck and ergonomic body contours—the offset upper bout provides unobstructed access to higher registers for detailed tracking and studio arrangements. The Transparent Red Sunburst finish over a flamed maple top delivers striking visual character, while the gloss finish maintains a polished, professional look on tape and in video sessions. This B-Stock unit shows minimal cosmetic wear that does not affect playability, making it an excellent value for producers and recording engineers.
Tone & Recording Character
The flamed maple top paired with mahogany back and sides yields warm, focused midrange with articulate treble clarity—a tonal signature suited to fingerstyle documentation and rhythmic layering in the mix. The integrated Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp with onboard tuner enable direct-to-interface recording, with 1/4" output for seamless connection to your audio interface or mixing console.
Construction & Signal Path
Studio-ready construction features 20 frets on a rosewood fretboard with matching rosewood bridge, X bracing for consistent tonal projection and sustain across takes, and ivory body binding for structural integrity and finish durability.

Is this guitar suitable for fingerstyle and strumming?
Yes. The warm midrange and articulate treble tone profile, combined with responsive mahogany construction and X bracing, make it well-suited for both fingerstyle and strumming across folk, singer-songwriter, and studio applications.
What electronics are included, and can I plug it directly into a PA or interface?
