The EW3512QME is a 12 string Exotic Wood series acoustic-electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in late-2008. It is a spot model which never appeared in a catalong. It was produced in China.

The round soundhole has an abalone rosette. It has a mahogany neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with a secial pearloid inlay at the twelfth fret. Components include an Ivorex II compensated saddle in a rosewood bridge, Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, an Ivorex II nut, and chrome Ibanez Smooth Tuner AS die-cast tuning machines.

Electronics consist of a B-Band UST undersaddle pickup connected to an Ibanez SRTn preamp with notch filter and onboard tuner powered by a 9V battery and feeding balanced XLR and ¼" outputs.

The EW35QME is a 6 string version.

The EW3512QME was discontinued in 2008.
