The AV3CWC is an Artwood Vintage series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez in late-2015 as a spot model. It was made in China. It was sold with a case as denoted by the "WC" in the model name.

The AV3CWC features a grand concert body shape with a solid mahogany top with X bracing and herringbone purfling with tortoiseshell binding on mahogany back and sides with a gloss finish. The soundhole is round with an acrylic rosette and a red tortoise pickguard. It has a U-shaped mahogany neck with a slotted headstock and a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot position markers.
