Ibanez AW54OPN Artwood Solid Top Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Open Pore Natural

This guitar has a great sound, it’s set was great when I unpacked it, and it is so lite. For the price it is a great second guitar, or super for a beginner. It is now my daily player. ;-)

Im happy with this guitar. I chose this one bc it wasn't laminate. Sounds rich, and holds its tune well. Feels well-made.

Nachdem ich ähnliche Modelle im Musikladen ausprobierte, bestellte ich mir dieses wunderschöne Instrument. Es dauerte nur 3 Tage und dann war sie da. Zur Verpackung lässt sich sagen, dass es viel sicherer nicht mehr zu machen gewesen wäre. Die Gitarre befand sich in einer Plastiktüte in dem Karton. Der Gitarrenkarton befand sich nochmals in einem Karton, welcher sicher mit weiterer Pappe ausgekleidet war. (Leider eine Menge Müll). Als ich sie auspackte, um sie zu stimmen, stellte ich fest, dass sie schon einmal gestimmt worden war und sich (trotz Versand) kaum verstimmt hatte. Sie ist sehr sauber verarbeitet. Das Holz fühlt sich grade am Rücken sehr schön an, da sich die Maserung ertasten lässt. Nach einigen Wochen kann ich sagen, dass sich die Gitarre kaum noch verstimmt. Sie hat einen warmen, leicht metallischen, relativ lauten Klang. Auch wenn man leise spielt, klingt es noch sauber, wenn man die Saiten stark genug greift. Für gezupfte Stücke ziehe ich meine Konzertgitarre vor, da sie dabei einen volleren Klang aufweist. Die Westerngitarre macht sich dabei allerdings auch nicht schlecht, wobei ich sie eher denen empfehlen würde, die beherzt in die Saiten hauen wollen. Dazu ist sie wirklich prima geeignet. :) Ich gebe sie nicht mehr her.

Esteticamente bellissima, manico ottimo sia per dimensioni che per l'azione, oltre che scorrevole. Il legno della cassa di risonanza (mogano massello) a poro aperto è veramente stupendo al tatto, oltre che alla vista. Bellissime le finiture. Non è il top di gamma, anzi, ma onestamente surclassa tantissimi strumenti molto più costosi. Non si direbbe una entry level. Personalmente, se ancora facessi concerti dal vivo, non avrei alcuna difficoltà a portarla con me sul palco, magari anche come prima chitarra o strumento di backup. Emette un suono potente e caldo (molto blues) coprendo sufficientemente un'ampia gamma. Si presta senza difficoltà a vari stili che prediligono i suoni scuri e, con la cordiera adeguata, ritengo possa esprimere buone estensioni anche su medi ed acuti. Non ho sentito la necessità di intervenire sul setup, già di per sé ottimale. In sostanza lo ritengo un acquisto soddisfacente, consigliandola a principianti e, perché no, anche a qualche professionista.

I`m doing it. My first ever review. I`m a deadhead and that means sound quality is very important to me. ( If I have to explain you wouldn`t understand ) I sing and play acoustic guitar that`s what I do and I have played a few. oops, sorry about that but it`s true. oops again, my bad. intonation is very important when singing with an acoustic guitar. Anyway, Yes this guitar is all these reviews say. I just pulled it out of the box . I live at 8,000 feet it came from sea level all is fine. Strings where tuned one octave low, perfect for the shipping travel. It tuned right up. ((( More importantly it stayed in tune ))) All frets in key. No buzz`s. Great action. Straight as an arrow. I`m taking a quick break to leave this review while I put on the $60 padded leather strap with quick lock system I treated myself to because if the reviews where true at $200 why not? if the guitar sucked I could return it and still have the strap I have always wanted. I love it a $60 strap on a $200 guitar that play`s perfect and sound`s Great! I have always wanted an Ibanez because every time I run into one being played It sounds and look`s beautiful. I have played my buddies Martin D-15M Natural a lot. and if you don`t know. This guitar is a copy of that guitar. Something Ibanez is well know for doing and doing well. Thanks Ibanez. I just saved $1,000. and my finish look`s better. Ha! I love it when I win! ..... Buy it and brag about it and the strap. I`m going to. At my next bluegrass festival i`m going to go find someone playing the D-15 and do just that. I`ll prolly get kicked out of the circle butt I`m more folk rock blues anyway... Enjoy.
