The Artwood series was crafted to produce a traditional as well as a modern guitar. Technology moves forward at a frantic pace and the world of guitar craftsmanship is no different. In producing the AC240 Artwood Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar, Ibanez respected the rich tradition of the acoustic guitar while adding modern interpretations in their continuing search for the ultimate in guitar tone.
This is a descendent of the old orchestral acoustic guitars, instruments designed to be audible over large instrumental ensembles in the days before amplification.
The Grand Concert body is made with a wider, 44.5mm neck and shorter 24.9" scale length, to make this ideal for finger picking. You'll get a strong, warm tone from the Solid Mahogany top and Mahogany back and sides, complemented by the warm tone of the Mahogany neck, Rosewood bridge and fretboard. It features a neck shape that provides an easy grip, while chrome Grover Tuners give you better tuning stability, and bone nut and saddle offer enhanced overtones. Other refinements include a headstock where tradition and modern style co-exist.

I had a Martin OOO-15 Solid Mahogany back, sides and top. I loved that guitar, but had to get rid of it. When the time came that I could purchase it again I decided to (just for kicks) see what was available with a mahogany top in the sub $500 price range. This guitar was the only one I could find, with a few reservations I did end up buying this guitar and I do love it.
To compare it to the $1200 OOO-15, I can tell you there are two primary differences: 1. My OOO Mahogany top Martin just had better resonance, it had that "Martin ring". AC240 does resonate well (and better I might add, than the sub $500 High Pressure Laminate back and side guitar C.F. Martin sells). It's built of quality components. Bone nut, grover tuners, etc.. It feels comfortable to hold and finger style playing just rings on this guitar. the negative is that it's a bit rough around the edges. Although built of quality components it feels a bit more like a mass produced product than even the sub $500 Martins do, but that "feel" is open to subjectivity. I know others disagree with me. After spending some time with it I love my AC240. It feels and sounds similar to my lost OOO-15, but the Ibanez Artwood fretboard works better for my big hands and fingers. If someone offered me a OOO-15 now and said I'd have to give my AC240 for trade, I do the trade, sell the OOO-15, buy another AC240 and sell pocket the rest of the cash.
Fantastic job on Ibanez part on the Artwood series. These really haven't gotten the press they deserve. Wish strongly it came with a hardshell case, it deserves one.
Just picked this up recently at the Manhattan NYC G.C. and bonded with it right away. I had been looking for my first acoustic for several months. Been playing strictly Fender Strats and Teles until now. I probably played 100 non electric/acoustic guitars under $400. Finally I found one that spoke to me for whatever reason, sounds great, relatively small size and was very comfortable and playable overall. The Mahogany has a nice feel. While I'm not going to tell you that this blows away the Martins, Gibsons, and Taylors, I think it is a good value for the money (especially with the G.C. coupon) and should only get better with time.
I will say that not all of these guitars are created equal, I played several of these as well as the natural AC300s - some were great some were so-so. I always recommend trying to play as many as possible of any guitar you are considering, then take that particular guitar home that speaks to you.
I am an electric guitar player looking for an acoustic to broaden my experience and have some fun with. I play blues and really did not like the numerous dreadnoughts I tried. Eventually I found parlor, grand concert, and Takamine NEX body guitars and decided this was better suited to me. I was just about sold on a Seagull Entourage or a Takamine 406 NEX when I tried a friends old Martin Mahogany top Grand Concert. I loved it, but way out of my price range. I was in Guitar Center trying guitars and picked up the Ibanez AC240.
I loved the feel of the neck, the rough finish of the body and top, the action, the sound, and I knew this was the guitar for me. A great blues acoustic guitar for people used to electric. Great sustain, clear middle tones, bends, hammer ons, and other blues techniques are a breeze. Feels so much like my semihollow.
I love the rustic look of this guitar as well, it looks like a guitar you could imagine Robert Johnson playing.
Great tuners, bone nut and saddle, solid mahogany top, great action, no buzzing, all for this price. Wow is all I can say.
