The Ibanez Artwood ACFS380BT 6-String Acoustic Guitar features an under-saddle pickup that reduces noise and provides a wide range of natural piezo-style sounds. It also captures palm hits and delivers a bass drum-like response.
Block Contact Pickup
Since it's placed on the neck block, the Ibanez contact pickup is resistant to feedback and evenly captures percussive sound from the body to the neck. It also adds air and brightness to the piezo-style sound by capturing acoustic tones from within the body.
Ibanez DP1 Preamp
The DP1 Preamp naturally amplifies the signal from the Dual Pickups. You can precisely blend the sound of both pickups using the simple control layout (Under-saddle pickup volume / Contact pickup volume), which reduces added holes in the body to maintain tonal integrity.
Dual Outputs
When plugged into the endpin jack only, you get under-saddle pickup + Contact pickup with the mixed output and when plugged into both the endpin jack and the open jack, the under-saddle pickup and Contact pickup runs independently.
Deeper Grand Concert body
The body depth on the Grand Concert model is 10mm deeper-than-standard which affords rich lows and a vibrant strumming sound, despite its compact size.
African Mahogany/Pau Ferro Neck
The neck construction boasts increased stability for alternate tunings.
Deep Round Neck Heel
The deep, round neck heel construction makes playing more comfortable in the higher register.
Neck Grip
The combination of a 45mm wide nut and thin C shape neck is ideal for the complex fretting and arpeggios of Fingerstyle.
Unbleached Oil-Impregnated Bone Nut and Saddle
The unbleached oil-impregnated nut and saddle deliver strong consistent string vibration and better tuning stability due to decreased friction resistance.
Open Pore Finish
The thinner open pore finish highlights the texture of the wood and emphasizes the acoustic and percussive tonal properties of the instrument.
