PFT2 Natural High Gloss Red copyright sprite

The PFT2 is a Performance series acoustic tenor guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2015. It is made in China.

The PFT2 features a mini dreadnought body with a laminated spruce 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 bone saddle in a rosewood bridge with black bridge pins, a bone nut, and chrome Ibanez open gear tuning machines.

For 2018 the top, back and sides were replaced with sapele and the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with purpleheart. For 2019 the neck was changed from mahogany to okoume. For 2021 the body was slightly downsized.
