The PF15ECE is a Performance series acoustic/ electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2017. The version documented here is produced in Indonesia; another model with the same name is made in China and sold in the US market. The two models are mostly similar, but have some small differences in specifications. The Chinese-made version was discontinued after 2024.
The PF15ECE features a dreadnought 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 20-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 PF15ECE's electronics consist of an Ibanez under saddle pickup connected to an AEQ2T preamp with on-board tuner powered by a 9V battery and feeding a 1/4" stereo output jack.
For 2018 the back and sides were replaced with sapele and the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with acacia or laurel. For 2019 the back, sides and neck were changed to okoume and the fretboard was standardized as laurel. For 2021 the body length was very slightly increased. The scale length was very slightly shortened for 2025.
The PF15LECE is a left-handed version. The PF1512ECE is a twelve string version. The PF15 is a similar acoustic model without a cutaway. The PC15ECE and PN15E are related models with, respectively, grand concert and parlor bodies. The PF17ECE is a related model with a cedar top.
