Ibanez PF16WCE

The Ibanez PF16WCE is a Performance Series acoustic-electric guitar featuring a cutaway dreadnought body designed for strong projection, balanced acoustic response and comfortable access to the higher frets. Its spruce top provides clear, articulate tonal response, while the okoume back and sides contribute a warm, woody character with punchy high-mids and clear projection when strummed. The dreadnought body makes it particularly suitable for rhythm playing, strumming, songwriting, practice and live acoustic performance.

The PF16WCE features a PF Nyatoh neck, a wide 48 mm nut and a 647.7 mm (25.5-inch) scale length. Its wider neck profile can provide additional room for fingerstyle playing and can be comfortable for players accustomed to wider classical-style necks. The 20-fret laurel fretboard has a 400 mm radius, while the Venetian cutaway provides easier access to the upper register. For amplified use, the guitar combines an Ibanez undersaddle pickup with an AEQ-2T preamp and onboard tuner, offering dedicated bass, treble and volume controls.

The guitar is finished in Natural High Gloss and features a laurel bridge and fretboard, chrome die-cast tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio, an acrylic pearl soundhole rosette and white dot inlays. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle contribute to accurate string positioning and intonation, while Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins securely anchor the strings. It comes fitted with Ibanez IACS6C coated strings in .012–.053 gauge and uses a 9V-powered electronic system with a 1/4-inch output for connection to amplifiers, PA systems and other compatible equipment.
