The Ibanez AEWC621 is a steel-string acoustic-electric guitar that continues Ibanez's tradition of blending modern playability and aesthetics with traditional acoustic tones. It's part of their AEWC series, which stands for "Acoustic-Electric With Cutaway," and is specifically designed to offer comfort and ease of use, particularly appealing to players accustomed to electric guitars.
The AEWC621's most striking features revolve around its ergonomic design:
AEWC Body Shape with Arm and Back Contours: This guitar features a slimmed-down concert-style body with specially designed contours on the top and back. The forearm contour on the treble side and a subtle contour on the back (where the guitar rests against your body) significantly enhance playing comfort. This makes it less bulky and more comfortable for extended playing sessions, whether seated or standing.
Deep Florentine Cutaway: The sharp, pointed Florentine cutaway not only adds to its modern aesthetic but also provides excellent, unobstructed access to the upper frets (typically up to the 14th fret joint, though playability extends further), allowing for lead lines and complex chord voicings higher up the neck.
"Comfort Grip" Nyatoh Neck: The neck is specifically designed for playability. The "Comfort Grip" Nyatoh neck profile is often described as being sleek and fast, making it easy to navigate for players of all styles, especially those with smaller hands or those coming from electric guitars. The 43mm (1.69") nut width is a standard comfortable width for steel-string acoustics.
Open Pore Finish: The guitar often comes in an Open Pore Polyurethane finish (like the popular "Black Out" version). This satin-like finish allows the wood to breathe and resonate more freely, contributing to the guitar's acoustic tone. It also offers a tactile, non-sticky feel, especially on the neck, for smooth playing.
