Not for big sound, but adequate

I bought this guy a little less than 3 years ago. I got an excellent price, at $100 off, so for original price I walked out with a hard case, cable, and a stack of various picks.

After two years the bridge started to delaminate itself from the guitar and pull up at the end. It's not destructive, but it will require attention eventually. Other than than it keeps tune well, and the onboard preamp is really good quality electronics. The only word of caution is that due to thin body it is very mid-rangey and not alot of bottom end like you'd expect from this body shape.

I bought this guitar over a year ago. I got the beautiful violin burst color. I needed a guitar for the church worship team and solo coffee house gigs. When I got it I was amazed by everything. The feel, the sound, the guitar was a dream. But, exactly a year after I bought it (in the middle of a church service to make the matter worse) the onboard system started to produce an awful crackling noise. At first I thought it was the connection, but when I looked at my onboard tuner, it was randomly (and rapidly) turning itself on and off, and all the lights on it were just going crazy. I took the onboard system out and got a soundhole pickup + piezo undersaddle stereo system. It's working great. Like I said the guitar feels great, but the electronics went out suddenly after a year of use.

I used to work for Ibanez as a a guitar checker and I love the sound of this guitar. I guess it depends on your preference but if you like crisp bright clear acoustic sound, this one is for you. It is my acoustic sound of choice. Neck feels great to.

Can't say enough about my AEF30. I chose this over the AEF18 because of the color choices and the inlays on the AEF30. Electronics are not top notch but adequate for the money you pay. As far as unplugged sound goes, it depends on the you preference but I think it sound fine. Action out of the box was very high especially after throwing on a set of 12's. Neck was straight so I had the bridge shaved down. WOW! What a difference! Action is now awesome and my 12's now feels almost as if they're 9's! For real!! Looking forward to many years of enjoyment.

Ibanez AEF30E Marine Sunburst Acoustic-Electric

This is a great acoustic/electric guitar for those who like the bright and crisp acoustic sound(Ibanez AEF30E Marine Sunburst.) The maple back, sides, and top bring out sharp mids and highs. The only reason I rated the quality under 5 is because it seemed to loose its tune quicker than my Aria (which can stay tuned for months.) Tightening the tuning head srews when you restring could help this. The color is a very nice bonus, however the shades alternate between guitars and pictures. The action is fine and plays like an electric. It's XLR or Lo-z output is very helpful when there are not any 1/4" jack inputs are available. Over all, its easy to play, it has good electronics, and it looks great.
