PC12MH Open Pore Natural
The PC12MH is a Performance series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid 2016. The version documented here was made in China and sold in the US market. Another model with the same name is produced in Indonesia and sold in other markets; the two versions have several minor differences.
The PC12MH features a grand concert body with a laminated mahogany top on mahogany back and sides with an open pore finish. The round soundhole has a tortoiseshell rosette and a red tortoise pickguard. The mahogany neck has a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with small white dot position markers. Components include a compensated plastic saddle in a rosewood bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut, and chrome Ibanez open gear tuning machines.
For 2018 the top, back and sides were replaced with sapele and the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with nandu wood. For 2019 the neck was changed from mahogany to nyatoh. For 2021 the body dimensions were very slightly increased.
The PC12MHE is a similar acoustic-electric model. The PC12MHCE is a similar acoustic-electric model with a cutaway. The PF12MH is a related model with a dreadnought body.
This Chinese-made version of the PC12MH was discontinued after 2023.
