Comfortable crossover features Whether you’re just starting on the 6-string or transitioning to the nylon-string world from an electric background, a full-size classical guitar body can be a handful — especially if you plan on performing. To combat stage fatigue and offer an overall more comfortable and enjoyable playing experience, Ibanez decked the GA5MHTCE out with a cutting-edge hybrid-style thinline body. This guitar’s body is quite thinner than a standard classical guitar while still offering a pleasing unplugged voice thanks to its all-sapele body. Moreover, while most classical guitars join the neck and body at the 12th fret, the GA5MHTCE’s 14-fret neck joint and deep body cutaway supply superior access to the purpleheart fingerboard’s entire register. Take the stage with onboard electronics While this guitar’s comfortable feel makes it a superb practice instrument, top-quality Ibanez electronics ensure that the GA5MHTCE is by no means limited to strumming on the couch! The combination of an Ibanez under-saddle pickup and an Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp allows the GA5MHTCE to take to the stage without batting an eye, delivering a lush and organic plugged-in acoustic-electric tone. Furthermore, Sweetwater guitarists appreciate how the GA5MHTCE also sports an onboard tuner, ensuring that you’re pitch-perfect at every performance.
