The PF1512 is a twelve string Performance series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2017. The version documented here is made Indonesia; a second model with the same name was produced concurrently in China and sold in USA. The two models have some small differences in specifications.

The PF1512 features a dreadnought body with a laminated spruce top on mahogany back and sides with a high gloss finish. The round soundhole has a black and white acrylic rosette and a black 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, a black pickguard, and chrome Ibanez tuning machines.

For 2018 the back and sides were replaced with sapele and the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with laurel or nandu wood (depending on market). For 2019 the neck was changed from mahogany to nyatoh and the back and sides and neck were changed to okoume or nyatoh (depending on market). For 2021 the body dimensions were very slightly increased. The scale length was very slightly shortened for 2025.

The PF15 is a six string version. The PF1512ECE is a similar acoustic/ electric model with a cutaway.
