Here for sale we have an Ibanez EWC30PDE-RLG 1202 Electro-Acoustic Guitar in Low Gloss Natura. Made in China in 2012, this set-neck construction guitar consists of a Padauk top with Padauk back and sides, a Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins, an Ibanez Ivorex II saddle & nut and a set of Ibanez Smooth Tuner AS tuning machines. A B-Band SRTc Preamp is featured with a plethora of controls for tonal sculpting.
The Mahogany neck plays well, with the βEWβ profile providing a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. The Rosewood of the fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with the binding and attractive pearloid 12th fret inlay adds a real sense of luxury. The soft Florentine cutaway is nice and deep, greatly improving access to the upper register. The smaller, shallower body size is very comfortable in the arms, and with two strap buttons is also ready for seated or standing performance.
The voice of the Ibanez is clear and direct, with a warm rounded low end, tight mids and a crisp articulate top end, all without sounding overly bright. The all Padauk construction creates a bright, punchy tone that presents well projecting a dynamic sonic range that sings each note. The B-Band SRTc Preamp captures the natural voice of the instrument perfectly, whilst offering hassle free tone adjustments with the soundhole mounted controls. Overall a stunning looking guitar in both looks and sound.
