Ibanez Artwood AW391CE Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Black

Combining the bold voice of a dreadnought acoustic with striking Tree of Life appointments and versatile onboard electronics, the Ibanez Artwood AW391CE is designed for players who want premium style without compromising performance. Its solid Sitka spruce top and okoume back and sides deliver powerful projection and rich, resonant tone with shimmering highs, focused mids and warm, full-bodied lows. Equally suited to energetic strumming and flatpicking while remaining responsive enough for nuanced fingerstyle playing, the comfortable dreadnought body pairs with a smooth nyatoh neck and rosewood fingerboard for an effortless playing experience. The Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp faithfully reproduce its natural acoustic voice with onboard EQ, a built-in tuner and balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs for flexible live and studio performance. Finished in gloss black with gold die-cast tuners and Ibanez's iconic Tree of Life inlays, the AW391CE looks every bit as refined as it sounds.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Dreadnought Body for Powerful Acoustic Tone

Built around a classic dreadnought body, the AW391CE delivers the bold projection, dynamic headroom and room-filling presence that have made this shape a favorite among generations of acoustic players. The solid Sitka spruce top contributes a balanced tonal response with excellent clarity and sensitivity, while okoume back and sides add warmth and a naturally woody character. Together, the tonewoods and body design maintain definition under a light touch while providing the power and headroom needed for energetic strumming and flatpicked accompaniment.

Nyatoh Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard for Smooth Playability

A smooth nyatoh neck offers a comfortable playing feel while contributing warmth and stability to the instrument's overall response. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard, it provides a naturally smooth playing surface with focused midrange character and excellent note definition across the neck. Whether you're navigating intricate fingerpicked passages, open-position chords or melodic lead lines higher up the fingerboard, the AW391CE delivers a comfortable, confident playing experience.

Ibanez Electronics for Natural Amplified Performance

Designed to preserve the guitar's natural acoustic character, the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup faithfully translates every nuance of your playing when plugged in. The Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp features a built-in tuner and intuitive 2-band EQ for quick tonal adjustments onstage or in the studio, while balanced XLR and standard 1/4" outputs provide flexible connectivity for acoustic amplifiers, PA systems and recording interfaces. Together, they make the AW391CE equally capable as a live performance instrument or a reliable recording companion.

Striking Tree of Life Inlays and Stage-Ready Hardware

Every detail of the AW391CE reflects the thoughtful craftsmanship that defines the Artwood Series. Ibanez's iconic Tree of Life inlays adorn the fingerboard, headstock and bridge, while a wooden mosaic back stripe and gloss black finish create a sophisticated look that stands out from traditional acoustic designs. Gold die-cast tuners provide smooth, dependable tuning stability, and the rosewood bridge enhances resonance while working with Ibanez Advantage bridge pins for secure string seating and fast, hassle-free string changes.
