Ibanez PF Series PF5ECE Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

I have been playing guitar for some time now and I picked this guitar up for its versatility, quality and the great reviews. I am glad I picked this guitar up and I never question my choice. Great action and some of the best tone out of any acoustic I have ever played. Pick this one up you will not regret it.

I've had this guitar for about 8 or 9 months, and I have to say that it is a great guitar. I've played handfuls of Takamines, Martins, Seagulls, etc. and this guitar holds up with them all. It is even better than most of the high end ones. Its sound is very deep and resonant, and you can literally hear every little vibration each string makes in the chords you play. Its electronics are not quite heaven, but you can still put them in front of the crowd. I normally just mic mine, instead of going direct in. It comes with some pretty high-quality strings, but they wore out pretty quickly. Drop tuning and fingerpicking are simply stunning with this guitar. The sounds you get from fingerpicking this guitar can paint the most beautiful pictures in your mind. I did a few songs where I dropped the tuning a whole step, and it sounded so good that i kept it that way. All in all, an amazing guitar. The price is small, but the sound and looks of this guitar are colossal.

This guitar is pretty amazing I might say:). Puts a smile on my a face and a tear in my eye everytime I play it. I mean i've been only playing for like 10 months, but man, those were ten dedicated months and you wouldve sworn i've played longer. This is my baby, the first thing that i'd pull out of the house if it caught on fire haha. This piece of crafted woods has seen all my emotions and is a part of me. It may not be a fancy shmancy as a taylor or martin, but man, it can still sing:D. And i havent even changed the factory strings either! so imagine if i put in some new D'addarios. Oh boy:), this guitars gonna be around for a while:D

I have had this guitar for two years, after enduring el-cheapo's. I was looking for Taylor and Martin quality without spending a truckload of cash. This guitar had it all - clarity of tone, built in tuner, strap buttons, XLR, gold tuners and more. I get a range of tones using the EQ from country twang to a nice mellow jazz strum. The neck and cutout design are great for fast high solos. I am very satisfied. If you are on a budget, get this guitar if you can find it. If you're not on a budget, get this guitar and give the unspent balance to a good children's charity or music school!

I was always generally of the school of thought that a miked acoustic guitar was the only way to go and that electronics compromised the overall sound of the instrument. I am still a staunch believer in that regard however I was finding myself in some situations, especially for solo performances where I saw it as wise to sacrifice a bit of sonic quality for the mobility and convenience, etc. factors of the electric-acoustic axe. I didn't want to spend much much but I didn't want a piece of garbage either. In a nutshell did a bit of research and bought this axe. No regrets. I have consistantly received complements on the sonic quality of this instrument, even from those acustomed to Taylors used in this context. Just 2 days ago I did 3 solo performances with this axe with audiences of 500+ in an auditorium with a relatively recent high end P.A. I got nothing but a slew of positive comments on how enjoyable the performances were. Definately gotta give the axe some of the credit here. Bottom line, extremely good bang for the buck, to say the least.

Ok what can I say, this guitar is fabolous, great tone, great look, the rosewood fingerboard is so soft and well i have to say it this guitar smells good. I changed the strings for some martin ones but thats it, it sounds just like I allways wanted...this guitar stays in tune very well and the fishman pickup well, its not heaven but hey its a really good one. If u want a pro guitar without paying thousands well this is the one.
