Product information "Ibanez ACFS300CE-OPS"
Beautiful Grand Concert Acoustic from Ibanez.
The ACFS300CE from Ibanez is another impeccably designed acoustic-electric from the popular Artwood series. This bold Grand Concert acoustic features a solid Engelmann spruce top with okoume back and sides - a tonewood pairing that delivers a full, rounded sound that is infused along with crisp highs in the rich low end. Plus, a 5-piece mahogany neck and Pau Ferro with Macassar ebony fingerboard provide excellent response and playability for a variety of styles, including robust flatpicking and finger-style. And when you're ready to plug in, an Ibanez T-Bar under the nut and a Block Contact pickup with Ibanez DP1 preamp provide a wonderfully articulate, amplified tone.
Incredible pickup options
The ACFS300CE's block contact pickup is mounted on the neck block, making it extremely resistant to feedback. This placement also means that the percussive sound is picked up evenly from the body to the neck. This placement also improves the brightness and air of the piezo sound by capturing the acoustic tones that naturally resonate in the body. In addition, the under-saddle T-bar pickup and its placement capture palm hits and bass drum-like tones - ideal for experimental, expressive playing styles. And with two outputs, you can mix and match these pickups for a wonderful range of tonal expressions.
The 5-piece mahogany and pau ferro neck and ebony fingerboard is complemented by a deep, smooth cutaway that lets you access those higher notes. An ebony bridge, unbleached oil-impregnated bone, walnut nut and scalloped X-bracing provide fine appointments that enhance the tone and resonance of this fine acoustic.

The Japanese instrument maker Ibanez can look back on a long tradition in guitar and bass construction. Although Ibanez initially made a name for itself with idiosyncratic copies of traditional models from makers like Gibson and Fender, its own series gradually emerged, such as the Iceman, JEM, Artcore and RG. In the 1980s the company became particularly well known in the heavy sector with instruments that stood out for their modern features, distinctive design and excellent playability. Innovations such as 7- and 8-string guitars, born from fruitful collaborations with artists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Meshuggah, further helped to establish Ibanez's strong reputation. Today the manufacturer offers an extensive range, from entry-level guitars and basses to exotic Custom Shop models. In addition, Ibanez also impresses in the field of effects and amplifiers, as the classic TS9 Tubescreamer proves. Here you'll find a comprehensive selection of guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects and accessories from Ibanez.
