Key Features
The Ibanez AEWC32FM is an ideal instrument for both beginners and experienced guitarists. Drawing on Ibanez's vast wealth of electric shredder machines, the AEWC32FM's body shape is supremely thin and comfortable to hold - perfect for extended playing sessions and musicians more accustomed to slimmer solid body guitars. That slender shape is complemented by smooth contours and a Venetian style cutaway, giving you easy access to the higher frets.
Tonally, the flamed maple top and sapele back and sides create a balanced voice that works well for a variety of genres. The thin body shape helps focus the sound for excellent articulation and note separation, letting chords blossom with sonic detail and fingerpicked notes stand out from a mix. And with Fishman Sonicore and Ibanez electronics providing a natural acoustic tone in live and studio settings, the AEWC32FM can adapt to any number of situations. Even better, it features a top loading bridge and die-cast tuners to ensure seamless string changes and rock-solid performances. Find your acoustic voice with Ibanez's easy playing AEWC series!

Catch the spotlight. All eyes are on you with the AEWC32FM's stunning flame maple top with a high gloss finish. Combined with a matching headstock veneer and abalone binding, it certainly boasts an appealing aesthetic to captivate any audience!
It's not all down to its looks, though, because the maple top imbues a sparkling brightness and articulation into your tone. The highs are crisp and full of chime, enabling fingerpicked notes and lead phrases to stand out from a mix with ease. That's backed up by Sapele back and sides to enrich your sonics with warmth and low-end, giving extra body to your chords and strumming.
Designed for swift riffs and snazzy licks, the AEWC32FM's neck and fretboard gives you the same nimble feel as an electric guitar. The nyatoh neck is shaped into a slim profile Comfort Grip that's perfectly ergonomic to hold, ideal for newcomers to acoustics.
That's paired with a walnut fingerboard slotted with 20 large sized frets which contribute to smooth playability and effortless riffing flow. The larger frets provide a quick action that's great for quick series of successive notes, helping you build up speed and fluidity in your playing.
Take your sound to new heights. The AEWC32FM is equipped with a Fishman Sonicore pickup, which is mounted under the bridge and connected to the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp system. The result? Glistening, clear, dynamic amplification that retains all those delicious acoustic qualities of mahogany and spruce. There is also a 2-band EQ for precise, easy sound sculpting, whilst dual outputs - a balanced XLR and 1/4" jack - allow for effortless connection to an amp, mixing desk, or recording device.
Acoustic guitars are fantastic, but changing their strings can be a nuisance! Ibanez have solved the headache of bridge pins by including a top-loading bridge on the AEWC, which loads strings exactly like an electric. No accidentally breaking bridge pins, no getting bridge pins stuck, just a simple change process that gets you back to playing in seconds!
