AW54L Open Pore Natural
The AW54L is a left-handed Artwood series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid-2016. It was made in China.
The AW54L features a dreadnought body shape with a solid mahogany top with X bracing and mahogany back and sides with an open pore finish. The soundhole is round with a simple black and white acrylic rosette. It has an open pore finished mahogany neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with small white dot position markers. Components include an ivory plastic saddle in a rosewood bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut , a tortoise pickguard and chrome tuning machines.
For 2018 the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with ovangkol. For 2019 the mahogany top, back and sides were replaced with okoume and the mahogany neck was replaced with nyatoh.
The AW54 is a right-handed version. The AW54LCE is a similar acoustic/electric model with a cutaway body.
This Chinese made AW54L was discontinued after 2022; it was replaced for 2023 with a new version which was made in Indonesia with some minor differences.
