This Ibanez AW65ECE-LG is part of the company's long-established Artwood range of acoustics that covers a wide variety of body sizes, finishes and specs. Our guitar is a Dreadnought that has a cutaway for access to the dusty end. A cutaway on an acoustic is obviously a common sight nowadays, and generally for me is a welcome addition. The top is solid cedar and the neck, back and sides are mahogany. The combination of the mahogany and the dreadnought body size gives that deep warm but clear sound that really projects when you dig in.
