PF2MH (2014–2023)

For the model with the same name introduced for 2024, see PF2MH.

PF2MH Open Pore Natural

The PF2MH is a ¾-sized Performance series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2014. It was made in China.

The PF2MH features a downsized dreadnought body with a laminated mahogany top on mahogany back and sides with an open pore 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 covered tuning machines. It is sold with a gig bag.

For 2018 the 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 very slightly increased.

The PF12MH is a similar full sized model.

This version was discontinued after 2023 and replaced with a new model with the same name which is made in Indonesia.
