The Ibanez FRH20QMN-CTL from the FRH Series is a revolutionary electro-acoustic classical guitar designed for players seeking the rich, warm tones of nylon strings combined with the playability and feel of an electric guitar. Its compact, thin body and absence of a traditional sound hole make it ideal for both stage performances and home practice, reducing feedback while maintaining exceptional acoustic clarity. The exquisite Quilted Maple top in Cosmic Blue Starburst finish not only delivers stunning visual appeal but also enhances the guitar’s tonal brightness and projection.
Engineered for superb playability, the FRH20QMN-CTL features a narrow 46mm nut width and a 400mm radius fretboard, allowing for effortless fingering and smooth transitions across the neck. The innovative side sound port provides an immersive listening experience, enabling players to hear the pure, unfiltered acoustic tone directly. Combined with the Ibanez AEQ210T preamp and Undersaddle pickup, this guitar offers precise amplified sound control with the convenience of an onboard tuner, making it a versatile instrument for any performance setting.
The choice of premium tonewoods further elevates this guitar’s sound and aesthetics. A Nyatoh neck delivers a robust mid to low-end response, while the rosewood fretboard and bridge contribute to a balanced, focused midrange tone. The sapele back and sides add warmth and brightness, creating a full-bodied sound that complements the nylon string character. With fan bracing typical of classical guitars, the FRH20QMN-CTL maintains a natural, resonant voice while accommodating the unique body design.
Whether you are a classical guitarist looking to expand into amplified performance or an electric player wanting to explore nylon string textures with ease, the Ibanez FRH20QMN-CTL offers a perfect blend of tradition and innovation in one captivating instrument.
