Ibanez PA230E Acoustic Electric Guitar, Macassar Ebony Fretboard, Natural Satin

It's time to elevate your musical journey with the PA230E Acoustic Electric Guitar, a stylish and reliable instrument that boasts a Macassar Ebony fretboard and a natural satin finish. Crafted by Ibanez, a brand synonymous with professional-grade musical instruments, this guitar is designed to deliver a high-quality performance that resonates with both beginners and seasoned musicians.

The guitar's neck is constructed from a 5-piece combination of African Mahogany and Pau Ferro, enhancing its durability and ensuring a smooth playability. The Macassar Ebony fretboard is known for producing tight lows and mid-range tones, along with a strong attack in the highs, quick response, and rich sustain. The jumbo frets further contribute to a seamless playing experience, particularly for single-note playing.

The solid Cedar top of this acoustic electric guitar offers a full-bodied, well-rounded, and bigger-than-expected sonic response. Complementing this is the Okoume back and sides, which generate a warm, woody tone when played softly or finger-picked, and provide punchy high-mids with clear projection when strummed.

The PA230E is equipped with Ibanez AP11 Magnetic / Contact pickups. These lightweight pickups are strategically positioned to not inhibit the natural vibrations of the top wood, generating a highly responsive sound with minimal feedback across the entire frequency range. The sound is transparent, reflecting the guitar's natural acoustic tone while preserving presence and mid-range. The pickups also work seamlessly with effects such as reverb and chorus.

The Ibanez Custom Electronics with Magnetic Pickup Volume and Contact Pickup Volume blend to provide a more natural acoustic tone. This combination enhances the depth of the sound and the tonal brightness, making it an excellent choice for solo fingerstyle players or small acoustic ensembles.

The guitar also features a Macassar Ebony top-loading bridge for a better percussive sound and easy string changes. The asymmetric jumbo body is designed for modern fingerstyle players, offering a low-end focused sound and a tapping-friendly shape. The modified X-M Bracing design creates a highly responsive sound with a wide dynamic range and a focused low-end, perfect for modern fingerstyle playing.

The PA230E Acoustic Electric Guitar comes with a durable gig bag for easy transportation and protection. With its 25 3/4 inch scale, it maintains proper tension and pitch even while down tuning, delivering improved sustain. This guitar is not just an instrument, but a companion that will accompany you on your musical journey.
