The AW3000 is an Artwood series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2010. It was produced in China. It was also sold in a package with a lightweight acoustic case as the AW3000WC.
The AW3000 features a dreadnought 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.
