Ibanez built the AW150CEOPN as part of the Artwood Series, positioning it as a cutaway dreadnought acoustic-electric intended for players who needed stage-ready amplification alongside traditional acoustic construction. The model carried a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Okoume back and sides, and was finished in an open pore natural treatment that left the wood surface largely unobstructed.
The neck, designated AW profile and constructed from Nyatoh, meets an Ovangkol fretboard across 20 frets, with a bone nut at 43mm width and a compensated bone saddle. The scale runs 651mm. Ibanez Advantage bridge pins secure D'Addario XTAPB1253 strings (.012–.053) at an 11mm string spacing. The Ovangkol bridge and laser-engraved soundhole rosette complete the top-end appointments, while chrome die-cast tuners handle intonation at the headstock. For amplification, the guitar was fitted with an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup feeding an Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with onboard tuner; output options include both a balanced XLR and a standard 1/4" jack, making the instrument compatible with either a PA system or a conventional amplifier.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including bone nut blanks, compensated saddles, Ovangkol bridge components, or undersaddle pickup elements — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician, particularly given the specific neck profile dimensions and the dual-output preamp circuit.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
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.
What do you know about this one?
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.
