The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, features strategically positioned tone and finger braces, which transmit string vibration more efficiently through the bridge to the body, greatly enhancing the quality and projection of the sound. This modified X-M Bracing design creates a highly responsive sound with a wide dynamic range, but it also emphasizes a focused low-end, which perfectly complements modern fingerstyle playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIbanez Custom Electronics w\/ Magnetic Pickup Volume and Contact Pickup Volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlending the Contact pickup with the Magnetic pickup provides more natural acoustic tone.

The pickup generates a highly responsive sound with minimal feedback throughout the entire frequency range. The sound is transparent and reflects the guitar's natural acoustic tone while preserving presence and mid-range. The AP11 also works well with effects such as reverb, chorus and many others. The Contact pickup consists of three transducers facilitating organic individual note clarity and naturally reproduces percussive body tapping techniques. This pickup also adds an airy depth of tone and brightness to the amplified sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGig bag included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIbanez Gig bags are made out of durable materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebody shape: Asymmetrical Jumbo body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebracing: Modified X-M Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etop: Solid Cedar top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eback \u0026amp; sides: Okoume back \u0026amp; Okoume sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eneck: PA\/African Mahogany\/Pau Ferro 5pc neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efretboard: Macassar Ebony fretboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebridge: Macassar Ebony top loading bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etop board purfling: Wooden purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esoundhole rosette: Specially Designed Wooden rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etuning machine: Chrome Die-cast tuners (18:1 gear ratio)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enut material: Unbleached Oil-impregnated Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enumber of frets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esaddle material: Unbleached Oil-impregnated Bone saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estrings: D'Addario® XTAPB1356\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estring gauge: .013\/.017\/.026\/.035\/.045\/.056\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estring space: 11.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efactory tuning: 1E,2B,3G,4D,5A,6E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epickup: Ibanez AP11 Magnetic \u0026amp; Contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epreamp: Ibanez Custom Electronics w\/ Magnetic Pickup Volume and Contact Pickup Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoutput jack: Dual Outputs (Mono Out \/ Stereo Out)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eneck dimensions:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 655mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea: Width: 45mm at NUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eb: Width: 60mm at 14F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ec: Thickness: 20.5mm at 1F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ed: Thickness: 22mm at 7F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 400mmR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebody dimensions\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea: Length: 20 7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eb: Width: 17\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ec: Max Depth: 4 7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar has a 400mmR neck radius and Dual Outputs (Mono Out \/ Stereo Out).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibanez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39375066038349,"sku":"PA230ENSL","price":1449.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/8118\/5613\/products\/738b14b2b397381297d2065d67b76e81.jpg?v=1683220521","url":"https:\/\/musiccitycanada.com\/products\/ibanez-pa230e-acoustic-guitar-natural-satin-top-natural-low-gloss-back-and-sides","provider":"Music City Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
