    The Ibanez GA5TCE3 is a nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar model from the Ibanez brand. It features a classical guitar body shape with a spruce top and Sapele back and sides for warm, balanced tone. Other specs include a purpleheart fretboard and bridge, and a built-in Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp/tuner for amplification and tuning capabilities. Ibanez states this model aims to provide an affordable, accessible, and enjoyable playing experience for classical guitarists or acoustic players looking to expand their sound. Specs are geared towards playability, solid construction, and good acoustic tone projection.

    Ibanez classical guitars take the guesswork out of finding an affordable, great-sounding classical guitar that's easy to fret and play. Whether you are looking for a traditional classical-sized instrument or a comfortable nylon-string beginner guitar, they are extremely well-constructed, affordable and have the pristine tonality and playability of much more expensive instruments.

    Okoume neck

    The Okoume neck provides greater playing comfort.

    Purpleheart fretboard

    The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this bass.

    Spruce top

    Spruce remains the most popular wood for acoustic guitar tops, mainly due to its pristine tonal clarity.

    Sapele back and sides

    Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.

    Ibanez Undersaddle pickup

    The Ibanez Undersaddle Pickup accurately reproduces the acoustic nature of the bass.

    Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp w/Onboard tuner

    The AEQ-2T preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the frequencies of a bass and a treble, and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in.

    Purpleheart bridge

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

    12F neck joint

    Narrower 46mm width nut
