A Value-packed Nylon-string Guitar

If you're in the market for a nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar, the Ibanez GA34STCE delivers a tone and playability that surpass its modest price tag. The GA34STCE's thinline cutaway classical body shape offers outstanding playing comfort, while its solid spruce top adds extra punch and definition to every note you play. Its satin-finished okoume neck enables easy hand movement, while its purpleheart fretboard encourages complex, fleet-fingered playing. The GA34STCE is ideal for live performance, thanks to the high-quality amplified sound provided by its AEQ210T preamp and state-of-the-art under-saddle pickup. The Ibanez GA34STCE also impresses from a visual perspective, with its handsome purpleheart bridge, eye-catching mosaic rosette, and ultra-stable gold classical tuners.

Solid spruce top for timeless tone

Spruce has been a preferred top wood among luthiers for decades, thanks to its wide-ranging tonality. The GA34STCE acoustic-electric features a solid spruce top, giving this guitar impressive projection and detail. Another benefit of a solid wood top is how it will sound even better as the years go by. The more you play it, the more the top "settles in" to its role as a soundboard, yielding more harmonic richness and depth as it ages.

Plug in with top-notch Ibanez electronics

Ever had an acoustic-electric guitar that made playing plugged-in painful? It's probably because it had subpar electronics. The Ibanez GA34STCE is loaded with top-notch Ibanez electronics to faithfully reproduce your open acoustic tone. The under-saddle pickup captures a full spectrum of tones — it even manages to transmit your palm hits. The AEQ210T preamp has an onboard EQ and tuner to help you tailor your sound to your unique needs. Meanwhile, the balanced XLR and 1/4-inch outputs give you more options for recording.

Ibanez GA34STCE Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Okoume back and sides yield a warm, resonant tone
  • Solid spruce top adds extra punch and note definition
  • Okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard feel great and playable
  • AEQ210T preamp has an onboard EQ to help you tailor the sound to your unique needs
  • Onboard tuner makes it easy to stay in tune
  • Cutaway body gives you complete access to the upper frets

Nylon Works

Just wanted to work on my finger style picking and figured this might work. It does! Didn't really expect that much for the money but was pleasantly surprised. It's in the electronics. Ibanez seems to have found a way to pre-amp this guitar pretty well. Reverb effects in a pedal or amp makes the difference. Wish I would have started with nylon strings in the beginning. It might have helped me early on. This would be a good start for someone just embarking on the journey.

Amazing finish and playability

This is an incredible guitar, the set up is perfect, it plays amazingly well, it has low action and is soo smooth to play. The slim body actually makes it easier to play and carry.
