While tradition is the hallmark of Ibanez's Artwood series, the company’s decades-long search for the ultimate in acoustic tone has contributed to design alterations that give Artwood a voice all its own. The dreadnought body shape of the AW5412CE-OPN 12-String acoustic-electric guitar, and solid mahogany top offers full-bodied, well-rounded, bigger-than-expected sonic response. The guitar’s solid mahogany top along with its mahogany back and sides, breathe freely thanks to a special open pore finish treatment, giving it a full, rich, open sound. The AW5412CE-OPN comes with a Fishman Sonicore pickup to accurately translate its full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into. Its Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp provides the extra punch of onboard EQ, with the convenience of an easy-to-read digital tuner located on the upper bout. A simple, clean, black-and-white multi-rosette handsomely appoints an understated flat finished top. Ibanez chrome die-cast tuners ensure smooth, accurate, stable tuning.
