Default NGD (and it's not a Yamaha)

The Mrs. thought it was time to pass on the blondes, so she picked me out an Ibanez Artwood AW54CE open pore model. All solid mahogany, on board tuner, pickup, bone nut and Tusq saddle under $300 and it sounds darn good? Yes!

Of course I had to add Martin Ebony bridge pins, and Dunlop stap locks. While I was at it, I got a new roller Shubb capo, a Levy's strap, and Martin Titanium core strings.

The setup was very good right off the wall.

All solid mahogany?
I thought these are only solid top.

For $299, even if it is just solid top with laminate back and sides, I'm not complaining.

Nice one!! I'm really impressed with the acoustics that Ibanez has been putting out recently. They sound great.
