Ibanez: PF58-MH


You & I know that Ibanez isn't a grand name in acoustic guitars; it's just not in the same turf as the big players- Takamine, Taylor, Martin, et al. However, Ibanez makes some of the most value for money acoustics out there & they are above average to say the least.


Recently, Ibanez released the PF58 in all mahogany (less the fretboard).


It looks overwhelming but the PF58 is a travel size guitar, which I am a fan of. Why bother with small guitars that sound equally tiny, you ask? It's a personal appeal. I struggle to play the acoustic, I do better with something more appealing in terms of size & tone. You'd do well to keep in mind the wood used here- mahogany- so in collaboration with the diminutive nature of the instrument, it might just appeal to some of us in terms of tone, especially if you are considering a Martin LX model, which is equally, small & devoid of a solid body construction.


The PF58-MH is all acoustic, no plug-in options (in the mean time), you just get an on-board tuner for the money. Also, it comes with a bag. I'm currently enjoying the PF-58 in terms of tone & playability, there's hardly any eye candy to behold here but the all mahogany construction is more than pleasant to the eyes.
