PF16WCE

The PF16WCE features a dreadnought body with a Venetian cutaway constructed of a laminated spruce top on laminated okume sides and back with a high gloss finish. The round soundhole has an acrylic pearloid rosette and a red tortoise pickguard. The nyatoh neck meets the body at the 14th fret and has a wide 20-fret laurel fingerboard with ivory binding and small white dot position markers. Components include a compensated plastic saddle in a laurel bridge with ivory Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut, and Ibanez chrome open gear tuning machines with half moon buttons. The electronics consist of an Ibanez under saddle pickup connected to an AEQ-2T preamp with on-board tuner powered by a 9V battery and feeding a 1/4″ stereo output jack.

Key Features

Ibanez Undersaddle pickup
The Ibanez Undersaddle Pickup accurately reproduces the acoustic nature of the bass.

Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp w/Onboard tuner
AEQ-2T preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the frequencies of a bass and Treble, and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in.

Laurel bridge
The Laurel bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

48mm Wide Nut
Its wider fretboars (48mm at nut, 60mm at 14ft) gives a more comfortable playing experience to those who have bigger hands and/or are shifting to acoustic guitar from classical guitar with wide neck.

Spruce top
Spruce remains the most popular wood for acoustic guitar tops, mainly due to its pristine tonal clarity.

Laurel fretboard
The Laurel fretboard provides a rich and warm tone.

Nyatoh neck
The Nyatoh neck provides a rich mid-low end.

Okoume back and sides
The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
