The PF12MHCE is a Performance series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2017. The version documented here was made in China for sale in the US market; another version was made in Indonesia and sold in other markets. The two models are quite similar, but have some small differences in specifications.
The PF12MHCE features a dreadnought body with a Venetian cutaway constructed of laminated mahogany top, back, and sides with an open pore finish. The round soundhole has a tortoiseshell rosette and a red tortoise pickguard. The mahogany neck meets the body at the 14th fret and 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 with butterbean buttons.
The PF12MHCE's electronics consist of an Ibanez under saddle pickup connected to an AEQ2T preamp with on-board tuner powered by a 9V battery and a feeding a 1/4" stereo output jack.
For 2018 the mahogany 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 increased very slightly.
The PF12MH is a similar standard acoustic model without the cutaway. The PC12MHCE (China) is a related model with a grand concert cutaway body. The PN12E is a related model with a parlor body.
This version of the PF12MHCE was discontinued after 2023, but production of the Indonesian-made version continued.
