It took a while but Ibanez finally had a solid top AEW model going- the AEW120. It also had the headstock re-looked this year. Prior to this, the AEWs had some exotic laminated wood tops going but discerning players avoided those for a simple reason; if they were going to fork out that amount of money for an acoustic guitar, a solid top should be the least value-for-money consideration the manufacturer could give them. You'd say that not all solid top makes are appealing tone-wise but this feature determines the overall craftsmanship & longevity of the instrument. All in all, Ibanez acoustics are very under-rated in terms of performance worth granted the manufacturer has a solid body focus in its manufacturing philosophy.
