For 2017, the king of shredding gear, Ibanez proudly introduces a new acoustic guitar specially designed for electric guitar players: the AEWC32FM. From the company:
Inspired by the playability and appearance of the electric guitar, this is an acoustic/electric that shredders will have very little trouble adjusting to.
As part of the AEW series, the compact AEWC features a remarkably slender body (60 mm neck joint and 70 mm body end), for enhanced playing comfort. Electric guitarists will appreciate the familiar feel of the thinner-profile Ibanez style neck, and the “soft” Florentine cutaway, which allows easy access all the way to the 17th fret.
The flamed maple top presents a stunning appearance, while reducing low-end feedback at higher volumes.
As an industry leader in the use of Exotic tonewoods, Ibanez continues to innovate with the AEW series. This fresh approach features a thinner, amplification-friendly body, making them the perfect choice for the stage.
