AC3000 Natural High Gloss 2010 Red copyright sprite

The AC3000 is an Artwood series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid-2010. It was produced in China. It was also sold in a package with a lightweight acoustic case as the AC3000WC.

The AC3000 features a grand concert body shape with a solid Engelmann spruce top with rosewood binding on solid mahogany sides and two-piece back with a rosewood backstrip inlay and a natural high gloss finish. The soundhole is round with an abalone rosette and a black pickguard. It has a mahogany neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with rosewood binding and abalone dot position markers. Components include a compensated bone saddle in a rosewood bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a bone nut, and gold Grover tuning machines with brown pearl buttons.

For 2013 the body dimensions were altered slightly.

The AC2040 is a similar model with a solid mahogany top. The AW3000 is a similar model with a dreadnought body.

The AC3000 was discontinued after 2014.
