It only comes in this and gold. I like the color though. I think this is a very good buy compared to other acoustic electrics for this price range.

i've heard to stay away from ibanez acoustics. but if you played it and you like it, you're the one that's buying it

I wouldn't buy an acoustic from Ibanez. In my experience, they make pretty shitty acoustics. Like appfro said though, play it first, if you like it, that's all that matters.

i have an AEF, trust me, dont buy it, you'll regret it, a 100$ yamaha dreadnaught would sound better. ibanez acoustic also lacks playability.

I agree, i had acoustic elec. Ibanez(looks just like the pic only metallic blue) and it didn't have very good tone whatsoever. And, it was very hard to manuever around the neck it seemed like the steel fretboards were too high up(kinda like a martin).
I had mine for a few months and i ended up selling for exactly what i bought it for.
Lately, i've been checking out local guitar shops and i'm thinking of buying a "Walden" guitar. I've never heard of it before they sound amazing, almost like a taylor without the price increase.

I wouldnt buy it. I know a bunch of people with Ibanez guitars, including me, and only one person likes it and he is only just learning.

Anyone want to buy mine?

I have an Ibanez semi-hollowbody (the AF85) and I love it.

My friend has an Ibanez a/e and he loves it.

i own an ibanez a/e, its not the greatest guitar in the world, but its not shitty either... its the first guitar i got and i like it pretty well.. good one to start out on, but if im looking to make a serious guitar purchase i would go with something a little more established in the acoustic guitar community

This is a higher-end Ibanez, and I can't find a better one for 500 dollars that'd I've seen with a cutaway. Would someone like to suggest something within that price range with a cutaway?

Tranman66 · Post by **Tranman66** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 9:40 pm

within 500, you want a cutaway, prob acoustic electric. Sooo...
$500 takamine is the way to go

at 400$ yamaha is pretty good
