- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025Like the sound and look of this guitar. Kind of hesitant to even play it it's so nice. Great value for the money.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2022This is a super guitar regardles of the price. This neck is smooth and has a nice c shape that fits my long fingers. The wood is beautiful. The sound is warm, full and clean across all the strings. The whole guitar resonates on open chords more than any other guitar I have. Very satisfying with the Mahogany. For finger picking the sustain is long. Stays in tune. It is a light guitar which I prefer. Just easy to pick up and play. I did lower the action. It came with an extra saddle in case I goofed. Out of the box it is very playable. This guitar plays and sounds better than the more expensive guitars I have costing twice as much. You can save yourself a lot of time and money by getting it right the first time with this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2019I`m doing it. My first ever review.
I`m a deadhead and that means sound quality is very important to me. ( If I have to explain you wouldn`t understand ) I sing and play acoustic guitar that`s what I do and I have played a few. oops, sorry about that but it`s true. oops again, my bad. intonation is very important when singing with an acoustic guitar.
Anyway, Yes this guitar is all these reviews say. I just pulled it out of the box . I live at 8,000 feet it came from sea level all is fine. Strings where tuned one octave low, perfect for the shipping travel. It tuned right up. ((( More importantly it stayed in tune ))) All frets in key. No buzz`s. Great action. Straight as an arrow. I`m taking a quick break to leave this review while I put on the $60 padded leather strap with quick lock system I treated myself to because if the reviews where true at $200 why not? if the guitar sucked I could return it and still have the strap I have always wanted. I love it a $60 strap on a $200 guitar that play`s perfect and sound`s Great! I have always wanted an Ibanez because every time I run into one being played It sounds and look`s beautiful. I have played my buddies Martin D-15M Natural a lot. and if you don`t know. This guitar is a copy of that guitar. Something Ibanez is well know for doing and doing well. Thanks Ibanez. I just saved $1,000. and my finish look`s better. Ha! I love it when I win! ..... Buy it and brag about it and the strap. I`m going to. At my next bluegrass festival i`m going to go find someone playing the D-15 and do just that. I`ll prolly get kicked out of the circle butt I`m more folk rock blues anyway... Enjoy.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024I am a beginner and had this guitar for a little over a year. It sounds great and was solid. Last week it started to sound funky. I brought it in for a check up and was told it needed a new nut , bridge and the saddle was rising. $265 repair. I was pleased with learning and playing this guitar but mine had a shelf life. I recommend the guitar but will probably make a step up. I hope this helps someone.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2017I've recently purchased this guitar from the Chicago Music Exchange and couldn't be happier. The delivery was prompt and the item very well packaged. In my opinion this guitar is a good choice for beginners to advanced players.It offers a very good tone and the action is reasonably close with perfect intonation right out of the box. It comes with an extra compensated bridge saddle and truss adjustment wrench for those wishing to lower the action a bit more. The instrument has the structural integrity to make this a fairly easy process. It has a thin neck and is lightweight for a dreadnought, so very comfortable to play. I would also like to recommend the Gearlux dreadnought acoustic hardshell case as it fits this guitar as if it were custom made for it and like the guitar economically priced.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2017It's hard to describe why I like this guitar so much, and why it has been so important to me this past year. Back in February, I had a large gift card and the person who gave it to me said "Please do something to spoil yourself, this time." After weeks of looking around and watching video after video, I decided this was the acoustic guitar in the price range that I liked the sound of the most. Having sold my axes years ago to pay for all the essentials required in raising a family, and letting music take a backseat to "life", I thought it would be good for my sanity to have something like this to occupy my evenings.
The guitar arrived a few days later, and after a quick tune I clumsily strummed through the only song I could easily recall ("Gone" by the Tea Party). The sound was solid, and it opened up something in my heart that had been closed for many years.
In the months since, this guitar was been one of the few bright spots in my life. I've played several hours almost every day since, as an escape from everything that stresses me. On my worst days at work, I keep from losing my head when I tell myself "...just a few more hours, and I can run to my room and play."
I won't tell you this will be the greatest guitar you will hear, but I'd be surprised if you can find better at this price point. All I'll tell you is that this purchase has proven to be one of the most important I've made in recent memory. I'm going to take very good care of this thing.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2022Bought as a Christmas gift. With in a month the neck had warped and the guitar became unplayable. Ordered a replacement. 2 days before replacement window closed the seller canceled the replacement and is refusing to return contact. Issue is not repairable, total waste of money.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024I was looking for only a beginner guitar for my grandson, but this is much more than that. Sure, it's a little too big right now for an eleven-year-old, but he'll "grow into it." It's well worth the money.

Dennis CanadaReviewed in Canada on August 27, 20225.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic sound!
This guitar has a great sound, it’s set was great when I unpacked it, and it is so lite. For the price it is a great second guitar, or super for a beginner. It is now my daily player. ;-)

GiuseppeReviewed in Italy on May 30, 20225.0 out of 5 stars Stupenda e dal suono molto caldo.
Esteticamente bellissima, manico ottimo sia per dimensioni che per l'azione, oltre che scorrevole. Il legno della cassa di risonanza (mogano massello) a poro aperto è veramente stupendo al tatto, oltre che alla vista. Bellissime le finiture.
Non è il top di gamma, anzi, ma onestamente surclassa tantissimi strumenti molto più costosi. Non si direbbe una entry level.
Personalmente, se ancora facessi concerti dal vivo, non avrei alcuna difficoltà a portarla con me sul palco, magari anche come prima chitarra o strumento di backup.
Emette un suono potente e caldo (molto blues) coprendo sufficientemente un'ampia gamma.
Si presta senza difficoltà a vari stili che prediligono i suoni scuri e, con la cordiera adeguata, ritengo possa esprimere buone estensioni anche su medi ed acuti.
Non ho sentito la necessità di intervenire sul setup, già di per sé ottimale.
In sostanza lo ritengo un acquisto soddisfacente, consigliandola a principianti e, perché no, anche a qualche professionista.

Moritz MaxReviewed in Germany on July 28, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gute Gitarre mit umwerfendem Klang
Ich bin ein Musiker auf dem Level "Besserer Lagerfeuergitarrist".
Ich habe mir explizit mal eine Gitarre von einer Firma mit großem Namen zulegen wollen.
Der Preis ist schon überraschend günstig. Insider behaupten, die Instrumente werden in China gefertigt.
Aber mir ist das alles egal.
Die Gitarre hat einen so guten Klang, dass es einfach Spaß macht, darauf zu spielen.
Wichtig ist ja - gerade für den nicht jeden Tag spielenden Laien - auch, wie leicht die Saiten angedrückt werden müssen, damit man keinen Krampf in die Finger bzw. blutende Fingerkuppen bekommt :-).
Auch hier überzeugt das Instrument.
Und letztendlich ist die Gitarre ein Leichtgewicht, wenn man also länger im Stehen spielt, bekommt man keine Verspannungen im Nacken.
Für knapp 200€ hat man sehr viel Freude.
Ich hatte beim Lieferanten eine telefonische Nachfrage gestellt, die Kommunikation war sehr freundlich und professionell.
Also, wenn jemand noch zweifeln sollte: Mit der "Ibanez aw54opn Westerngitarre Artwood Dreadnought" macht man nichts falsch.
*** Update September 2019 ***
Wenn ich mal irgendwo mit meiner Neuen spiele, gibt es nach kurzer Zeit immer die Frage, woher ich diese "super klingende Gitarre" habe und ob ich mal den genauen Typ nennen kann. Dieser wird dann oft notiert...

GinelliReviewed in Germany on January 10, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Ein tolles Instrument
Die Gitarre wurde schnell geliefert und war sehr gut durch die Verpackung geschützt.Sie war sogar gestimmt.Gleich beim ersten Anschlagen hat sie mich überzeugt.Der Klang ist tief, voll und warm.Das Griffbrett ist schmaler als bei einer Konzertgitarre, aber gut bespielbar.Ganz nebenbei sieht die Gitarre auch noch überwältigend aus.Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf.Ein solides Instrument zu einem relativ günstigen Preis.
