Ibanez GA5TCE-AM

The Ibanez GA5TCE-AM is a six-string classical acoustic-electric guitar featuring a full-size Classical body with a cutaway for convenient access to the upper frets. Its Spruce top is combined with Mahogany back and sides to produce a balanced nylon-string voice with clear articulation and a warm, rounded character. The cutaway design adds flexibility for higher-register playing, making the guitar suitable for classical practice, fingerstyle work, songwriting, stage performance, and amplified applications.

The guitar features a Classical-profile Mahogany neck with a Walnut fretboard and 19 frets. Its 650 mm (25.6") scale length and 46 mm nut width provide a comfortable classical playing platform, while the 305 mm fretboard radius gives the instrument a somewhat more contemporary feel than a traditional flat-radius classical guitar. The Walnut bridge provides secure string anchoring and efficient vibration transfer, while the wider classical spacing supports fingerstyle technique.

For amplified performance, the GA5TCE-AM uses an Ibanez Undersaddle pickup paired with an AEQ-TTS preamp featuring an onboard tuner. The preamp provides volume, bass, treble, and phase controls, allowing the amplified tone to be adjusted for different playing environments. A 1/4" output jack provides connection to an amplifier or PA system, with the electronics powered by a 9V battery. The guitar is finished in Amber High Gloss and features Gold Classical tuning machines, a Walnut bridge, and a classical-style soundhole rosette.
