Customer Review: Excellent Guitar for the Price
Steven
Product Description
Ibanez created the Artwood Series to be an ode to their rich tradition of acoustic guitars while adding the modern accoutrements needed by today's guitarist. The AW54CEOPN is a visual stunner with a solid mahogany top (with mahogany back, sides, and neck) and an open pore natural finish that really shows off the mahogany's beautiful woodgrain. Adding to its aesthetic charm is a black and white multi-rosette, a cutaway that helps you access the entire rosewood fingerboard, a rosewood AW bridge with bone saddle, tortoise pickguard and chrome die-cast Grover tuners. The mahogany construction provides you with plenty of warmth naturally, but when you need to plug in, the AW54CEOPN has a Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez's AEQ210TF preamp that features a simple 2-band control, which makes adjusting the sound easy while providing plenty of bottom. It also has a phase switch for reducing feedback and user-friendly onboard tuner.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only complaint is that the wood is VERY soft & delicate. I lightly *bonked* my guitar on an end table & it put a nasty dent in the side, almost made a hole.
Also, mine came with a set of D'Addario strings that are pretty much identical to Elixirs, & they're still bright & shiny & sound great 10 months later.
Enjoy this guitar, plays well, holds its tune and looks great!
But this guitar? It makes all that friction melt away. The tone is beautiful. The neck and the strings are just right for a beginner -- without any calluses or any practice at all, I could immediately tell chords were easier than on those old cheap guitars I'd previously used. If I want to play it DI into my audio interface, or into an amp, I have that option as well. It's everything I need out of a guitar, it's comfortable and easy to play, and it makes me realize (as I've increasingly come to realize) that music is so much easier when you have a little extra money to throw around. Sure, you can go with the cheapest options you can find, and with enough dedication you can make those work. But let's be honest: Most of us don't have that dedication. It's so much extra effort in a world that already requires all of our effort at each turn.
All of this self-indulgent waxing is to say: This was the guitar for me. I think it can be the guitar for you, too, if you're willing to take the risk on it. Believe me, it's worth it -- I feel so much happier with the progress I've made in the last few weeks than I've ever been with my attempts to learn guitar. Some of that, sure, is thanks to a general improvement in my own musicianship as well a love for Sufjan Stevens and a desire to play as much of his music as possible, but a significant amount of that comes down to this guitar.
UPDATE: I worked with Adorama and they send me a packing label to send the guitar back in original packaging. They were VERY helpful and even gave me a slight discount for my troubles when I repurchased the same guitar. The new one is great - no issue with the sticker. Although, I did see a different commenter say you can just take off that thin plastic layer under the sticker so I went ahead and did that now as well. Maybe I could've done that on the original and avoided this headache? Maybe :)
Still love the guitar (I even think the first one I got sounded a bit better than the new one... regrets... lol).

The open pore gives it a rustic look (It looks stunning). The build is flawless. The action is a bit high though, which can be fixed. It comes with a spare bridge pin, a saddle and an allen key. No issues with the seller, Soundglitz. It came with good packaging.
I haven't plugged it into an amp yet. That review is for another day. All in all, really pleased with the purchase.
