The left-handed Ibanez Artwood AW54LCE acoustic-electric guitar hits all the right notes. Acoustically, the AW54LCE delivers big dreadnought tone, thanks to its solid okoume construction. The guitar's warmth is ideal whether you're strumming or fingerpicking, and the Ibanez under-saddle pickup and preamp deliver natural-sounding amplification that's plug-and-play simple. If you came to Sweetwater for a great-sounding, smooth-playing acoustic-electric that's also a phenomenal value, we can highly recommend the Ibanez AW54LCE.





High-quality tonewoods and amazing value





The magic of Ibanez's Artwood series acoustic guitars comes from their combination of quality tonewoods and fine construction techniques. To make the Artwood AW54LCE acoustic a great-sounding yet affordable guitar, Ibanez began by selecting the best materials and then applied decades upon decades of guitar-crafting experience. When you pick up your AW54LCE, you'll be amazed by how finely made this affordable acoustic guitar really is.





Solid okoume construction gives your guitar a rich sonic signature





Okoume is a bold choice for a big-bodied dreadnought with its strong fundamentals and ample sustain. To help balance the naturally warm mids and the zing of okoume's top end, Ibanez employs X-bracing on the AW54LCE. This gives you wide-ranging tone that doesn't become too muddy or indistinct. All-okoume acoustics are incredibly popular today for how well they fit into a wide variety of genres and playing styles.





Natural-sounding electronics package





The Ibanez AW54LCE packs Fishman's Sonicore pickup, which is powered by an Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp. When it's time to perform, all you need to do is plug in, dial in your sound, and give your audience your best performance. And the built-in tuner makes it easy to keep your instrument sounding its best song after song.
