The AW84CE is an Artwood series acoustic/electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2023. It is made in Indonesia and replaces an earlier version which was made in China with some minor differences.
The AW84CE features a dreadnought body shape with a Venetian cutaway with a solid okoume top on laminated okoume back and sides with an open pore finish. The round soundhole has a simple black and white acrylic rosette and a black pickguard. The nyatoh neck has a 20-fret laurel fingerboard with small white dot position markers. Components include a compensated bone saddle in a laurel bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a bone nut, and chrome Ibanez tuning machines. Electronics consist of an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup connected to an Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with onboard tuner powered by a 9V battery and feeding balanced XLR and ¼" outputs.
The AW84 is an acoustic-only version without the cutaway. The AW8412CE is a 12-string version. The AW54CE is a similar model with a plastic nut and saddle and a natural finish.
