With the Ibanez VC44CE-OPN Acoustic guitar:
An acoustic guitar is a musical instrument in the string family. When a string is plucked, its vibration is transmitted from the bridge, resonating throughout the top of the guitar. It is also transmitted to the side and back of the instrument, resonating through the air in the body, and producing sound from the sound hole. The original, general term for this stringed instrument is guitar, and the retronym 'acoustic guitar' distinguishes it from an electric guitar, which relies on electronic amplification. In standard tuning, the guitar's six strings are tuned (low to high) E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4. The guitar likely originated in Spain in the early 16th century, deriving from the guitarra latina. the traditional Japanese manufacturer presents a perfect travel and beginner's guitar that is a musical enrichment for on the road and also makes it much easier for beginners to take their first steps on the instrument. A laminated meranti top and a laminated meranti body in combination with the slimline Grnad Concert design produce an outstanding acoustic sound that lends great sound quality to even the first practice pieces and, thanks to the integrated pickup, can be played with ease. pickup can even be amplified for the best performance. Meanwhile, an ergonomically shaped neck profile sits comfortably in the hand, while the stable hardware ensures the best intonation and tuning stability.

Both the top and back and sides are made from Meranti, which produces a round acoustic sound with pronounced warmth at every frequency. Despite its compact but very grippy resonance body, the guitar can easily assert itself even in louder environments. Thanks to the open-pored finish, every attack unfolds quickly and over a wide area, which contributes to an authentic sound experience. Furthermore, the Ibanez VC44CE-OPN also scores visually across the board. The traditional natural finish has always enjoyed great popularity in the world of acoustic guitars and radiates a unique vintage charm thanks to the clearly visible grain of the wood.

To make the playing experience easier for beginners, the Nyatoh neck has a non-slip 'V' profile that fits perfectly into the palm of the hand and enables smooth playing. The gripping hand glides effortlessly thanks to the cutaway over the entire Nandu fingerboard, whose finger-friendly texture favours quick chord changes. The shortened 634 mm scale length requires less effort when picking. Chrome-plated tuners keep the tuning constant, while the compensated bridge inlay guarantees a flat string action and perfect intonation over the entire scale length. The patented Ibanez Advantage bridge pins are another highlight. These can be easily removed for string changes, making it easier for beginners in particular to handle their instrument.
