Smaller and shallower for increased comfort and acoustic projection.

The EWN28BGENT Cutaway Nylon String Acoustic-Electric is a more compact member of Ibanez Exotic Wood series guitars. It features a body that's smaller in size and shallower in depth for increased comfort and acoustic projection. With a narrow neck width the EWN28BGENT is perfect for players who find typical classical guitar necks too wide and the soft cutaway provides complete fretboard access. Aesthetic features include a gorgeous bubinga wood body, a strikingly beautiful laser engraved wood rosette, mahogany binding, and gold open gear tuning machines. You won't find anything else quite like the Ibanez EW guitars even among guitars that are much more expensive.

The EWN28BGENT is fully equipped for both acoustic and electric performance with an ultra thin B-Band® UST (under-the-saddle) pickup and the Ibanez SRTn Preamp. The B-Band® UST pickup has a wide dynamic range and reproduces original tones without affecting the instrument acoustically. The SRTn's notch filter-equipped feedback reduction system allows high loud sound levels before feedback. Control adjustments are simple and easy to use, and tuning is a snap thanks to the onboard tuner. The EWN28BGENT has a 1/4" output jack, and a balanced XLR jack for direct PA connection. Operates on standard AA batteries.

I can't put it down

First of all the guitar looks beautiful. You can't go wrong with the bubinga woods looks. The guitar is good just to look at as well as play.

Just a few minor problems (nothing big). First it's not very loud, which was expected so amplification is a must if you are playing for a large group of people. Second the high E tuner on mine was VERY tight it was hard to turn, it still is. And last this is not a big chord strumming kind of guitar. If you play chords loud it may buzz a little. It's a CLASSICAL so it is made more for fingerpicking and such. You can strum chords but do it lightly.

Overall it's well worth the money. It's not the best but it is far from the worst for sure. I don't regret buying it and highly recommend it to other players.

I got this beauty as an "early" Christmas present and honestly it's the best present ever! The most beautiful looking classical I have ever seen! It took me a minute to actually play it because I was in awe of it's looks. As for the playability it plays very nice. The tuners on it are good but it does go out of tune frequently at first. I don't have any buzzing problems or anything like that. It sounds REALLY good plugged in! I never really heard an acoustic guitar that sounded better plugged in than it did without an amp before. But hey theres a first time for everything right? The Tuner that comes in it is very useful also. Pretty accurate from what I have seen. Ibanez Exotic Woods are just good guitars all around. I would recommend this one to anyone who wants to try a good classical out!

I ordered this guitar with high hopes...

I ordered this guitar with high hopes of receiving a great guitar for practice and noodling, however, I was greatly disappointed in the acoustic sound of this guitar. The amp on it was a nice amp so if you are planning on using it as an electric guitar you'll probably be fine, but acoustically its a disappointment. I sent mine back.
