PC32CE Natural High Gloss Red copyright sprite

The PC32CE is a Performance series acoustic/electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2017. It was made in China.

The PC32CE features a grand concert body shape with a Venetian cutaway and a laminated spruce top with black and ivory multi-binding on mahogany back and sides with a gloss finish. The round soundhole has a maple rosette and a wooden pickguard. The mahogany neck has a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and special wooden vine 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. Electronics consist of an Ibanez undersaddle pickup connected to an Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner powered by a 9V battery, and ¼" stereo output.

For 2018 the mahogany back and sides were replaced with sapele. For 2019 the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with laurel and the mahogany neck was replaced with nyatoh.

The PC32MHCE is a similar model with a sapele top. The PC30CE is a similar model without the pickguard.

The PC32CE was discontinued in 2021; the PC33CE is a similar model introduced that year.
