Ibanez PF12MHCE-OPN

The Ibanez PF12MHCE-OPN is a Performance Series acoustic-electric guitar featuring a cutaway dreadnought body designed to deliver a balanced combination of acoustic projection, comfortable playability and easy upper-fret access. The guitar uses an okoume top, back and sides, giving it a warm, balanced tonal character with a clear acoustic response. Its dreadnought body provides substantial volume and projection, making it suitable for strumming, chord-based playing, songwriting, practice and live performance.

For amplified performance, the PF12MHCE-OPN is equipped with an Ibanez undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp with an onboard tuner. The preamp provides dedicated volume, bass and treble controls, allowing players to adjust the amplified sound according to the performance environment. Its 650 mm scale length, 42 mm nut width and 20-fret configuration provide a familiar acoustic-guitar playing feel, while the Venetian-style cutaway improves access to the higher frets.

The guitar features a laurel fretboard and bridge, chrome die-cast tuning machines and Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins for secure string installation. It comes fitted with Ibanez IACS6C strings in .012–.053 gauge and uses a tortoiseshell soundhole rosette with white dot fretboard inlays. The Open Pore Natural finish leaves the wood grain visible while giving the instrument a natural appearance and tactile feel. A 1/4-inch output jack and 9V-powered electronics provide straightforward connectivity for amplified applications.
