Ibanez built the AW152CEOPN as part of the Artwood Series, positioning it as a cutaway dreadnought acoustic-electric with an open pore natural finish. The model carried a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Okoume back and sides, and the Artwood line reflected Ibanez's approach to offering solid-top construction at its respective tier.
The neck is an AW-profile Nyatoh piece, topped with an Ovangkol fretboard spanning 20 frets and carrying white dot inlays. Nut and saddle are both bone — the saddle compensated — and the bridge is also Ovangkol, pinned with Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. A laser-engraved rosette surrounds the soundhole. Chrome die-cast tuners handle tuning duties. Electronics consist of an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup routed through the AEQ-TP2 preamp, which includes an onboard tuner; the output section provides both a balanced XLR and a standard 1/4" output. The guitar shipped strung with D'Addario XTAPB1047-12 strings at gauges .012/.016/.024/.032/.042/.053, with an 11mm string spacing and a 651mm scale length. Nut width measures 48mm, and the neck profile runs 22mm thick at the first fret and 23mm at the seventh, with a 400mm radius fretboard.
Owners seeking replacement parts — including bone nuts or saddles, Ovangkol or compatible bridge components, or AEQ-TP2 preamp service — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician who can verify dimensional fit against the instrument's specific measurements before installation.
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.
