Ibanez Exotic Wood EW20QMEBBD Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Review
The Ibanez EW20QMEBBD is a gorgeous blonde acoustic-electric guitar that sounds fantastic both plugged or unplugged. An AEL body with cutaway is made with quilted maple top, back, and sides. The fretboard has a mother of pearl 12th fret inlay, and black body binding adds a touch of flash. Headstock is capped with quilted maple to match the body. An Ibanez B-band SQR pickup is mated with an Ibanez AEQ-SRT Shape Shifter preamp producing natural tone when amplified and effective feedback control. The onboard tuner is a handy plus. Available with either a natural finish or a dyed blonde finish.

Bottom Line:
Overall, this is a great guitar for the price. At less than $500 it is a big step up from the cheap beginner guitars, and it is a high quality instrument without the price tag of more expensive acoustics. It has a thinner neck for easy playing, has great tone, it looks gorgeous, and the onboard tuner is sure to come in handy. One minor complaint some people have is that it isn’t too loud unplugged. I personally like this though, since it allows for quiet playing, and you can just plug it in if you want to play louder. A great acoustic-electric guitar both for beginners and more experienced players.
