PF15L Natural High Gloss Red copyright sprite

The PF15L is a left-handed Performance series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2013. It was initially made in both China and Indonesia, but Indonesian production stopped after 2013.

The PF15L 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 die-cast tuning machines.

For 2018 the back and sides were replaced with sapele and the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with nandu wood. For 2019 the back, sides and neck were changed to nyatoh. For 2021 the body was very slightly enlarged.

The PF15 is a right-handed version. The PF15LECE is a similar acoustic/ electric model with a cutaway.
