Ibanez VC44CE

The Ibanez VC44CE is a six-string acoustic-electric guitar featuring a Cutaway Grand Concert body designed for comfortable handling, balanced acoustic response, and easy access to the upper frets. Its Meranti top, back, and sides deliver a warm and balanced tonal character, while the Grand Concert body provides a more compact feel than a traditional Dreadnought. It is suitable for strumming, chord accompaniment, fingerstyle playing, songwriting, practice, and amplified performance. (Ibanez)

The guitar features a V-profile Meranti neck with a Nandu Wood fretboard, 21 frets, a 634 mm (25") scale length, 42 mm nut width, 250 mm fretboard radius, and 11 mm string spacing. The Nandu Wood bridge works with Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins to provide secure string positioning and efficient transfer of string vibration. The compact Grand Concert construction and 25-inch scale contribute to a comfortable playing experience. (Ibanez)

For amplified performance, the VC44CE is equipped with an Ibanez Undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp with an onboard tuner. The preamp provides bass, treble, and volume controls, while the built-in tuner can operate without the guitar being connected to an amplifier. A 1/4" output jack allows connection to amplifiers, PA systems, and other compatible equipment, with the electronics powered by a single 9V battery. The model is available in Open Pore Natural and Weathered Black Open Pore finishes. (Ibanez)
