Ibanez PF5412 12-String Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - Weathered Black

The Ibanez PF5412 delivers the unmistakable shimmer and depth of a 12-string acoustic in a format that’s approachable, musical and built for everyday players. Hailing from the PF Performance series, it pairs classic dreadnought projection with an all-meranti construction that keeps the 12-string's expanded harmonic range warm and controlled. A comfortable meranti neck with a smooth nandu wood fingerboard ensures clean string separation and an inviting feel, while a matching nandu wood bridge supports natural resonance and sustain. From thick, rhythmic chords to sparkling arpeggios, the PF5412 captures the magic of a 12-string without the cost or intimidation often associated with the category—making it an inspiring, high-value addition to any acoustic lineup.

Dreadnought Body and All-Meranti Construction for Cohesive 12-String Tone

A traditional dreadnought body gives the PF5412 the space and volume needed to support the natural chorus effect of 12 strings, producing a broad, room-filling sound with strong low-end presence. Its meranti top, back and sides provide a warm, even tonal foundation that helps smooth out excessive brightness while keeping chords clear and harmonically rich. This unified tonewood pairing ensures that the added octave strings enhance depth and sparkle without becoming brittle, resulting in a voice that feels full, blended and musically focused.

Meranti Neck and Nandu Wood Fingerboard for Comfortable Playability

The PF5412 features a meranti neck designed to offer stability and a familiar, reassuring feel under the hands—an important factor when managing the added tension of a 12-string setup. A nandu wood fingerboard contributes warmth and a smooth response, softening the initial attack while maintaining clarity. With a 25.5" scale length for proper string definition, a wider 1.77" nut for clean string separation and a 15.8" fingerboard radius optimized for chord work, the PF5412 feels controlled and playable, even during extended sessions.

Nandu Wood Bridge and Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins for Reliable Resonance

A nandu wood bridge efficiently transfers string vibration into the body, supporting sustain and helping each paired string speak clearly as part of a cohesive whole. Ibanez Advantage bridge pins add a layer of practical refinement, offering a secure fit that resists slippage under higher string tension while making string changes quicker and easier. Together, these details enhance tuning stability and reliability—small but meaningful benefits on a 12-string instrument.

A Classic 12-String Experience at an Accessible Price

The Ibanez PF5412 is designed for players who want the expansive sound of a 12-string without unnecessary complexity or expense. With its warm meranti voice, comfortable neck feel and dependable construction, it delivers the lush harmonic texture that defines the 12-string experience in a straightforward, player-friendly package. Whether you’re layering tracks in the studio, adding shimmer to live performances or exploring new songwriting textures, the PF5412 offers an inviting and affordable path into the world of 12-strings.
