Description

This 12-string addition to Ibanez's stunning yet affordable Artwood range marries striking natural aesthetics with outstanding project and full-bodied tonal qualities!

Body

The body is an all-mahogany ensemble; this ensures a deep, alluring tone that'll really bring out the richness of the 12-string harmonies. The mahogany build also means that this guitar has a similarly dark appearance that'll have you standing out from the crowd with ease!

Neck

Again, Ibanez have opted for mahogany for the neck, simply adding to this instrument's resonance. They've also used Ovangkol, similar to rosewood in feel, tone and appearance. This means excellent playability, and yet more added tonal warmth! 

Electronics

This guitar is loaded with the hugely popular Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup system, offering accurate tones that rely on the vibration of the tonewood. This great preamp also offers a soundhole-mounted volume & tone control, as well as a built-in tuner and balaced XLR & 1/4" outputs. Everything you could possibly need!

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

12-String

12-string guitars use six pairs of strings, with each pair tuned either in unison or an octave apart, creating a fuller and more harmonically rich sound than a standard six-string. This paired-string design produces a natural chorusing effect, giving the instrument a wide, shimmering character.

They are commonly used for rhythm playing, strummed parts, and open chords, where their bright, layered sound adds depth and presence. 12-string guitars are popular in folk, rock, and acoustic music, and are especially valued for creating expansive textures rather than detailed lead playing.
