The PC15ECE is a Performance series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2013. It is made in China. It was also packaged with a lightweight hardshell case and sold as the PC15ECEWC.
The PC15ECE features a grand concert body with a Venetian cutaway constructed of a laminated spruce top on laminated mahogany sides and back with a high gloss finish. The round soundhole has a black and white acrylic rosette and a black pickguard. The mahogany neck has a 21-fret rosewood fingerboard with small white dot position markers. Components include a compensated plastic saddle in a rosewood bridge with ivory Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut, and chrome Ibanez tuning machines.
The electronics consist of an Ibanez under saddle pickup connected to an AEQ200T preamp with on-board tuner powered by a 9V battery and a feeding 1/4" stereo output jack.
For 2014 the preamp was replaced with an AEQ2T. For 2018 the 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 and the back and sides were changed from sapele to nyatoh. For 2021 the body dimensions were very slightly increased.
The PC15 is a similar acoustic model without a cutaway. The PF15ECE and PN15E are related models with, respectively, dreadnought and parlor bodies. The PC12MHCE is a similar model with a mahogany or sapele top.
