The Ibanez AEWC16QA-TKH Transparent Black Sunburst impresses with its modern design, slim playing feel and stylish look. As a laminated acoustic guitar with AEWC body and cutaway, it offers a particularly ergonomic design and is ideal for guitarists who want to combine comfortable handling with a contemporary acoustic sound. The integrated Ibanez undersaddle pickup with AEQ-2T preamp makes the AEWC16QA-TKH a reliable partner for the stage and rehearsal room. In combination with the striking transparent Black sunburst finish, the result is an instrument that sets accents both sonically and visually and offers modern acoustic performance in an elegant overall package.

The sound of the guitar is modern, balanced and controlled. The slim AEWC body ensures a focused response with clear projection and a compact, well-defined sound that is particularly suitable for amplified applications and precise playing. The laminated basswood top delivers a warm fundamental tone with rapid tone development, while the laminated Sapele back and sides give the sound additional depth and balanced mids. The result is a transparent, pleasantly round sound with good penetration, which is convincing for both strumming and differentiated picking.

The Nyatoh neck with Comfort Grip sits comfortably in the hand and supports a relaxed playing feel over the entire scale length. In combination with the rosewood fingerboard, a smooth surface is created that favours fluid layer changes and precise fingering movements. With a nut width of 43 mm and the shortened 634 mm scale length, the guitar offers a good balance between easy handling and secure string guidance. The rosewood top-loading bridge also contributes to comfortable string guidance and makes it easier to change strings.

Equipped with an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and the AEQ-2T preamp, the AEWC16QA-TEH offers reliable and transparent signal transmission. The natural acoustic character is retained and is transmitted clearly and assertively to the amplifier or mixing console. The sound can be shaped quickly and precisely using the separate controls for bass and treble. The integrated tuner ensures convenient tuning directly on the instrument and supports a smooth playing process.

The design of the guitar combines modern lines with expressive elegance. The beautifully shaped cutaway blends harmoniously into the slim body shape and emphasises the contemporary character of the instrument. The transparent Black sunburst finish is particularly eye-catching and is given additional depth and brilliance by the high-quality high-gloss finish. The shimmering colour gradients give the guitar a noble, striking appearance and make it a real eye-catcher on stage as well as in the studio.
