Ibanez AE245-NT 5-stars Reviews

Great sound and quality build.

Bought this guitar for live gigs. Punches well above its weight price wise. Arrived in a very playable condition with all key settings good. I did drop the action (fitted a new bone saddle) to meet my preferences and I am very pleased with both sound (both acoustic and amplified) and playability. I have never been a musician that is concerned about a guitar looks (frankly it doesn't matter to me) but I have to say the finish and look of this guitar is beautiful.

Beautiful guitar!

Pros:

-looks fantastic

-sound is loud (unplugged)

- good quality finish

Cons:

-perhaps could come with slightly better hardware for the electroacoustic elements

-requires custom acoustic deep hard-shell case

Great sound

The guitar has a great full sound (installed Elixir phosphor bronze - custom light strings), more of a single line guitar than strumming. Sustain is also very good, I must say I am surprised how good this guitar sounds for this price.

My only complaint is that the action is a bit too high, and also the frets. I will have them adjusted to my taste and then I believe I will keep this guitar for a long time. Definitely one of the best value for this price.

Beautiful and Elegant Acoustic

I purchased this guitar nearly a year ago so I have had plenty of time to play it which will reflect in this review.

This for sure one of the nicest acoustics I have played, it gives comfort, an amazing tone and looks spectacular. The build quality is superb and the colour of the wood is very eye catching, even better than the photos.

However, it does lose marks for not coming with a case like its juniour version does (AE205JR-OPN) and also for lack of controlls for the electronics, for example the AW70ECE-NT which is considerably less expensive comes with a built in tuner and also has bass, treble and volume controlls. But, that been said the woods used in this guitar are superior to the woods used in the other guitars I have mentioned, I own all 3 and this one has a much warmer tone, is much louder and full bodied, carries more depth and clairity and is overall the nicer guitar to play. 9/10 - I would recommend buying this and have zero regrets with my purchase nearly 1 years later :)

Fine Guitar

I spent as much as I could afford on this Guitar, Love it, action is perfect with Ibanez flat wide fretboard, nice mat finish on the back of the fret board. Overall top quality, I shall cherish it for many year to come.

Great guitar!

This guitar is great. I've been playing a lot of acoustic guitars of the upper class, but none of them have responded to that, it's really great to play. The sound is nice, quite loud. Strings are set low, which suits me. The production itself is also good, it's only a little worse on the pickguard, but this does not damage the entire image. I recommend to anyone who would like to buy an excellent guitar at a reasonable price.

Fantastic guitar

First of all I ordered the guitar Friday morning and it was delivered Tuesday, I was very impressed with the delivery. The guitar looks the business. The finish is really good, it has a warm look to it but yet has that lovely high gloss finish. The head stock and fret board designs are really appealing and look like the guitar would cost over 1k. The action is very good and the sound is fantastic. It sounds really good plugged into a good amp. Overall it is a fantastic guitar and I would definitely recommend it.
