Ibanez PF15ECE-TBS El. Acoustic Guitars

PF15ECE-TBS El. (Transparent Blue Sunburst High Gloss) Acoustic Guitar

The PF15ECE is a Performance series acoustic/ electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2013. It is made in both China and Indonesia with some differences noted below. It was also packaged with a lightweight hardshell case and sold as the PF15ECEWC.

The PF15ECE features a dreadnought body with a Venetian cutaway and a laminated spruce top on mahogany back and sides with a high gloss finish. The round soundhole has a black and white acrylic rosette and a black pickguard. The mahogany neck has a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with small white dot position markers. Components include a compensated plastic saddle in a rosewood bridge with ivory Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut, and chrome Ibanez tuning machines. Electronics consist of an Ibanez under saddle pickup connected to an AEQ200T preamp with on-board tuner powered by a 9V battery and a 1/4" stereo end-pin output jack.

Laurel fretboard

The Laurel fretboard provides a rich and warm tone.

Laurel bridge

The Laurel bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

Nyatoh neck

The Nyatoh neck provides a rich mid-low end.

Okoume back and sides

The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins

These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.

PREAMP

The neck side of the preamp is the top of the control panel. There is one button and three knobs along the top of the control panel. The button furthest to the left is the tuner on/off switch. To the right of that are the bass, treble, and volume knobs.
