The Ibanez PC12MHCE features a body crafted entirely from African mahogany, producing a distinct, sonically pleasing warmth combined with a woody, punchy sound. Mahogany is well known for its mellow warmth and resonance, and the tone produced makes it perfect for blues enthusiasts. In addition, African mahogany’s unique and internal dampening qualities create balanced across the tonal spectrum and produce a crisp, strong fundamental. With the wood being slightly harder than other species of mahogany, the Ibanez PC12MHCE is able to expand its frequency response, which increases the production in overtones for a rich, and beautifully melodic full-bodied sound.

Grand Concert Cutaway Body
The Ibanez PC12MHCE features a grand concert cutaway body, which offers clarity and a well-balanced tonal character within a compact and comfortable size. Its smaller body and nipped in waist make the Ibanez PC12MHCE an ideal guitar for both stage and studio performances. Furthermore, the Ibanez PC12MHCE is able to accommodate numerous genres and styles of play, but will excel when played by more adventurous fingerstylists and slide players. The PC12MHCE also features a cutaway profile, promoting the access to upper fingerboard shredding, enabling players to reach more challenging chords with ease. Designed to be comfortable and to keep overtones in check for a controlled, intimate sound and feel, the Ibanez PC12MHCE 2018 is ideal for players of all sizes and abilities.
