Classic Weatherd Black Open Pore

Full Description

Distinguished Wood Selection

The Ibanez GA5MHTCE-OPN boasts a selection of woods that are not only durable but contribute significantly to its sound and aesthetics. The Sapele wood used for the top, back, and sides is known for its robustness and provides warm and full-bodied tones, making each strum resonate with exceptional clarity. Coupled with that, the Purpleheart fretboard and bridge are not only visually striking but also lend a unique tonal flavor to the guitar, balancing the warmth of Sapele with a bright, articulate sound that enhances the overall playing experience.

Player-Centric Design

The Thinline Cutaway Classical body of the Ibanez GA5MHTCE-OPN targets optimal comfort for the guitarist. Crafted to reduce bulk without compromising on sound quality, it provides a more accessible and comfortable playing position, especially beneficial during long practice sessions or performances. The cutaway design also permits effortless access to the higher frets, enabling a wider range of expression and playability for both beginner and experienced guitarists alike.

Professional Electronics

With its Ibanez Undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp, this guitar steps beyond the traditional realm of classical instruments to offer amplified performance capabilities. Whether it's a gig, studio session, or practice, the pickup system captures the guitar's natural acoustic tones authentically. The onboard tuner is a standout feature for musicians on the go, allowing for quick and discrete tuning adjustments mid-performance without the need for additional equipment.

Quality Craftsmanship

The precision and care that go into the construction of the GA5MHTCE-OPN reflect Ibanez's commitment to producing instruments of high quality. From the finely adjusted action that facilitates comfortable fingering and minimal fret buzz to the hand-finished open-pore varnish that preserves the natural resonance of the wood, every detail is engineered for superior playability and tone. This level of craftsmanship is what elevates the guitar from a mere instrument to an extension of the musician's creative intent.
