Description

Slightly smaller and far more slender than a typical acoustic, Ibanez's GA35TCE thinline nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar is a comfortable fit for anyone from flatpickers to finger stylists alike. To give the GA35TCE a clear voice that suits blues and country, rock and pop equally well, Ibanez built this workhorse acoustic guitar with a back and sides made from mahogany. A solid spruce top balances out the GA35TCE's deep and rich low end with an even balance of midrange clarity and high-end sparkle. And to top it all off, you're even ready to take the stage thanks to the GA35TCE's Fishman pickups and AEQ210T preamp/tuner system. The combination Ibanez chose, a spruce top on a mahogany back and sides, has been a favorite among songwriters and live performers since the beginning of modern American music. Together, these tonewoods give the GA35TCE acoustic-electric guitar warm and present lows and clearly defined highs, leaving plenty of space in the midrange for your vocals. Whether you're the humblest of Saturday afternoon porch pickers or the seasoned pro who's been hauled from show to show a time or two, this Ibanez GA35TCE acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar was made for you. Everyone needs an inexpensive acoustic guitar you can pack up, head out, and run off with anytime you need, without worrying about damaging any priceless instruments. But your "beater" guitar doesn't need to sound bad, and the Ibanez GA35TCE is more than proof enough of that. In fact, its natural acoustic sound makes it a great campfire guitar, but it's small enough to be your new favorite couch guitar as well. The built-in AEQ210T preamp (complete with XLR out!) sounds great plugged in, so you'll most likely find yourself holding your new favorite stage guitar too when you take your GA35TCE acoustic-electric on stage!

  • I absolutely love it
I'm in love with this guitar, for a number of reasons. First of all let me just point out the one and only negative aspect of the guitar, and that's that it obviously won't sound as nice and rich as a regular full body classical guitar, since this is a slim body design and the body is almost half the thickness of a standard full body classical. I mean, that's a given, and if someone is looking for the best sounding classical guitar, I doubt they would be shopping for $300 hybrid style guitars like the Ibanez GA35TCEDVS. Now on to the positives, and there are many. 1. Being a slim line design is perfect for me since if I want it louder, I plug it in to my amp, headphones, and I can used a multitude of effect pedals with it to really play around with the sound, add some delays, reverb, etc. So the loss of that full body guitar sound is not an issue for me personally at all but it may be different for you. I personally love the way Ibanez GA35TCEDVS sounds both with and without an amp. For my purposed it is perfect. 2. I don't know if they did this on purpose, but the small circle inlay on the 7th fret is designed in a way where it shines and stands out more than the 3rd, 5th, 9th, and other inlays. This was a very nice surprised as the 7th fret is used for reference a lot of times in songs, so having it shine out a little brighter is wonderful. I have no idea if other Ibanez GA35TCEDVS models are like this too, if they are, that was a beautiful tough by Ibanez. Sometimes the little things count. 3. The neck is not a traditional classical neck which is straight the entire length, the Ibanez GA35TCEDVS neck is more similar to a steel string acoustic where it gets gradually smaller the closer you get to the head stock, and I don't know about others but I find this a LOT more comfortable to play on than a traditional bigger classical body neck. 4. The cut out. No need to say much about this other than if you play higher up on the fret board a lot, 12th and higher, this simple cutout is so helpful and makes playing songs easier for me. Less finger gymnastics. 5. Built in tuner is very helpful. I have an app on my phone which I've been using 'GuitarTuna' on my phone which is a great free app for quickly tuning guitars, but the onboard tuner of the Ibanez GA35TCEDVS is so easy to use I just use that now. Very helpful. 6. Last but not least, the looks. The Ibanez GA35TCEDVS is one of the most beautiful looking acoustic guitars I've ever seen and owned. ... show more

  • Incredible!
This is my first nylon string guitar, and it is perfect for someone who is crossing over from steel string. I was torn between getting a solid body or a thinline, and I'm glad I chose this, because the sound is not bad, even better plugged in. Clear notes, just not a full sound you'd get from a larger body. What impressed me most is that it came set up perfectly out of the box. Remember that it has a TRUSS ROD people, the neck relief can be adjusted unlike most classical guitars. What did you think that hex wrench in the bag was for? The strings that came on it were pretty low tension, so the bass E buzzed a bit, but after I put on hard tension strings, the action was perfect. Of course I also polished the rough frets and conditioned the untreated fingerboard, but at least the fret ends were smooth and the fingerboard edges were comfortable. The only thing I will probably change is the tuners. Still amazing value for the price, you can not do better if this is the type of guitar you're looking for. P.S. not sure why "thickness" needs to be rated, I knew how thick it was when I ordered it. But I gave it five stars anyway. ... show more

  • I hated this guitar at first.
I bought this guitar because I wanted a nylon but didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on a maybe. I absolutely hated the sound of this guitar at first. To me it sounded like a toy. I changed out the tuners because the oem ones didn’t hold tune very well. Changed to a set of nickel wound hard tendon strings, now that the wood has started to open up it sounds night and day different. I am glad that I bought this and play it all the time. It is very comfortable ... show more
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2024 by Flimsy bag, after only a week a being used twice the bottom blew out and will no longer stand on its own. I do not recommend this product.

  • Very pleasant to play, although slightly different than traditional classical guitar
I had a really great experience with Ibanez Electric and Acoustic, so when started taking Classic Guitar lessons and my teacher said nylon standard guitars were easier, I went for this one. I love that it doesnt look bland like traditional classical guitars, it is much slimmer and that it has the beloved slim neck. Plus the fact you can plug to computer or amp adds versatility. Having said that, be aware that this might actually be slightly more difficult to play than traditional classical, exactly because it is slimmer and narrow neck. Being more robust, the traditional guitar would fit better when you embrace it in the traditional posture, and having bigger neck gives more room to your fingers. But it doesnt look as cool though! lol My teacher also said that because it has slimmer body, the sound will be lower than traditional, however plugging to amp should solve it. He also said that this uses one strip of pickup receptors for the amp, while more expensive hybrids would have one receptor per string - this is important if you are a pro since each string has different tension. He also mentioned that the strip can become lose and cause buzzing, however in my case it is perfect, I even put my hand inside the hole and everything feels great. Long story short, I think this is the perfect guitar for the modern classical guitar musician. Get it! :-D ... show more
