Ibanez AEWC16QA TKH Auditorium Acoustic Guitar w/ Pickup Transparent Black Sunburst / Natural High Gloss

Electric-Inspired Playability With A Sleek Acoustic Voice

The Ibanez AEWC16QA is designed for players who want acoustic tone in a format that feels immediately familiar to electric guitar hands. The slim AEWC body reduces depth and bulk, keeping the instrument close to the body for comfortable standing or seated playing while maintaining balanced projection. A quilted maple art grain top over basswood delivers a focused, controlled response with clear attack, helping notes stay defined rather than overly boomy.

Sapele back and sides add warmth through the midrange, rounding out the brighter character of the top and supporting chord clarity. The Comfort Grip nyatoh neck encourages fast position changes and relaxed fretting, while the rosewood fretboard provides a centred, even tonal response. A top-loading rosewood bridge simplifies string changes and supports efficient vibration transfer. For amplified use, the undersaddle pickup feeds into the AEQ-2T preamp, offering straightforward bass and treble shaping and an onboard tuner that can be used even when unplugged.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the AEWC16QA is ideal for electric players stepping into acoustic work, delivering a slim feel, clear modern tone, and reliable onboard control for live and amplified performance.
