It is known for its high accuracy, meaning it translates your harmonics with precision so you can be sure that the notes you play are heard exactly as intended. To further enhance the quality, the strength of this pickup is complemented by Ibanez’s AEQ-SP1 preamp. This offers advanced features and controls which allow you to customise your sound to suit your style and the music being played, creating a unique and captivating listening experience for your audience. Play with greater confidence and creativity.
An authentic acoustic sound for stage and studio
This electro acoustic comes equipped with a Fishman Sonicore pickup, a highly advanced piece of technology that accurately captures the nuances and subtleties of your guitar’s sound. This allows it to be faithfully reproduced through whatever amplification system you choose to plug it into. Whether you’re playing through a high-end studio rig or a basic amp at the local pub, your audience will be treated to the same rich, full-bodied tone that you’re hearing on stage.
But the Sonicore is only one part of the equation – the AEQ-SP1 preamp is also an incredibly powerful tool for shaping your sound. With onboard EQ controls, you can fine-tune your tone to perfection, boosting or cutting specific frequencies to get just the voicing you’re looking for. And thanks to the easy-to-read digital tuner located on the upper bout of the guitar, you’ll never have to worry about being out of tune – just glance down and make any necessary adjustments on the fly.
An acoustic build with an electric twist
The Ibanez AEWC13 is an exceptional instrument that features a sleek and modern design, taking inspiration from the look and fast playability of the electric guitar. The model is designed to provide superior comfort and control to its players, using Ibanez’s signature comfort grip nyatoh neck contour. This shape ensures that you can move your hands effortlessly across the fingerboard while still maintaining a firm grip on the AEWC13 at all times.
Its macassar ebony fingerboard further enhances playability. The smooth, textured surface ensures fretting is a breeze, allowing for fast and accurate playing, while its 15.75″ radius also adds to the ease of manoeuvring, making it simple to switch between chords and solos with ease. Additionally, the twenty-fret design ensures that you can press down on the strings with ease for slides, bends, and vibratos. This guitar has everything you need to produce high-quality music and push the boundaries of your playing.
Truly beautiful tonewoods
Spruce, sapele, nyatoh, and ebony are some of the most popular materials used in crafting acoustic guitars. When it comes to the tonal qualities of these materials, the AEWC13’s top is often prized for its bright and crisp sound. Its tonal characteristics make it ideal for genres that require clear and defined voicings, such as bluegrass, country, and folk. This is complemented by sapele, which offers more balanced and warm harmonics, perfect for blues, jazz, and classic rock.
The nyatoh neck is stable and durable, providing a solid foundation and excellent sustain. The ebony’s hard density also provides great stability and long-term durability, making it a great choice for guitar players who want an instrument that will last them a lifetime.
