The Ibanez Artwood Series AW54CE is a full-sized acoustic/electric guitar made from mahogany with an open pore natural finish. The single-cutaway dreadnought body delivers a powerful and balanced acoustic sound. Unplugged or amplified, the instrument is well suited for solo performance or playing with a full band.

The AW54CE is constructed with a mahogany top, back, and sides. It also has a mahogany neck. The fingerboard and bridge are both made of ovangkol. Other features include chrome die-cast tuners and an open poor finish on the back of the neck, so you can feel the grain of the wood while playing.

For electronics, the guitar is equipped with a Fishman Sonicore pickup and an Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp, which has a 2-band EQ, an onboard tuner, and 1/4" connection.

Q: 9. are the strings nice and close to the neck or are they pretty far out?

A: The action is OK for a guitar at this price. I did try to lower it a bit by filing the bridge nut, but it didn't help much. The intonation is a bit off as well, despite the compensated nut. Overall though, not bad for a guitar I pad $90 for. Stick with good quality strings in the medium/heavy range, as lighter gauge will buzz and not hold tune.

A: No, it does not have a pre-amp.
