Description

Ibanez built the AEWC300NNB as part of the AEW Series, positioning it as an acoustic-electric guitar around the AEWC specially designed comfort body platform. The model carried a Natural Browned Burst High Gloss finish and was equipped with onboard electronics for amplified performance.

The top was solid spruce, paired with flamed maple back and sides. The AEWC asymmetric comfort neck was constructed from nyatoh and carried a walnut fretboard with off-set white dot inlays across 20 frets. String spacing at the saddle measured 11mm, with a 634mm scale length and a 43mm nut width in plastic. The walnut top-loading bridge accepted standard saddle replacements in the same plastic material. Electronics consisted of a Fishman Sonicore pickup running into an Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp with onboard tuner; the output stage offered both a balanced XLR and a 1/4" output, giving the owner flexibility at the mixing board or on stage. Chrome die-cast tuners with black knobs handled tuning at the headstock. The guitar shipped strung with Ibanez IACS6C strings gauged .012/.016/.024/.032/.042/.053 in standard E-to-E tuning.

Owners sourcing replacement saddles, nuts, or tuner buttons should verify dimensions against the figures above before ordering; a qualified luthier or guitar technician can confirm fit and carry out setup work on the neck profile or electronics.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
