Ibanez produced the AW54CEOPN as part of its Artwood Series, positioning it as an electro-acoustic cutaway dreadnought aimed at players who required both acoustic projection and stage-ready amplification. The Open Pore Natural finish and solid Okoume top placed it above laminate-topped alternatives within the Artwood range.
The body was constructed with a solid Okoume top over Okoume back and sides, with an Ovangkol fretboard and bridge mounted on a Nyatoh neck. The 43mm plastic nut and 651mm scale lead into 20 frets, with a fretboard radius of 400mmR and string spacing of 11mm at the saddle. Ibanez Advantage bridge pins and D'Addario XTAPB1253 strings (.012–.053) were fitted at the factory. Electronics comprised an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup paired with the AEQ-TP2 preamp, which includes an onboard tuner. Output options covered both a balanced XLR and a standard 1/4" jack, making the guitar compatible with both stage DI boxes and standard instrument amplifiers. Tuning machines were chrome die-cast units. The soundhole rosette was finished in a black and white multi-layer pattern with white dot fretboard inlays.
Owners sourcing replacement saddles, nuts, bridge pins, or preamp components should verify dimensions against the specifications above before ordering, and consult a qualified guitar technician for setup or electronic servicing.
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.
