2019 AC340L OPN 1X 02
AC340L Open Pore Natural Red copyright sprite

The AC340L is a left handed Artwood series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2018. It was initially made in China, but production moved to Indonesia for 2024.

The AC340L features a dreadnought body shape with a solid mahogany top with a Thermo Aged maple interior bridge plate and white binding on laminated mahogany sides and back with an open pore finish. The soundhole is round with a simple black and white acrylic rosette. It has a satin finished mahogany neck with a 20-fret ovangkol fingerboard with binding and small white dot position markers. Components include a bone in a Thermo Aged ovangkol bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a compensated bone nut, a red tortoise pickguard and chrome Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.

For 2019 the mahogany top, back and sides were replaced with okoume and the mahogany neck was replaced with nyatoh. For 2021 the body was very slightly enlarged.

The AC340 is a right-handed version.
