Description

Ibanez built the EWP14OPN as part of its EWP Series, positioning the instrument as a compact acoustic guitar based on the Cutaway Tenor Style EW body. The Open Pore Natural finish indicated a surface treatment intended to preserve the natural feel of the tonewoods rather than applying a high-gloss lacquer coat.

The instrument was constructed with an Ovangkol top, back, and sides, pairing that tonewood throughout the body. The Okoume neck carries a Purpleheart fretboard and a matching Purpleheart bridge, with Maple dot inlays along the board. The soundhole rosette is Abalone. Hardware consists of Chrome Die-cast tuners, plastic nut and saddle, and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. The EWP14OPN ships with 19 frets, a 432mm scale length, a 42mm nut width, and a fretboard radius of 400mmR. Neck dimensions run 20mm thick at the first fret and 21mm at the seventh. The factory tuning is A-D-G-C-E-A — a standard tenor guitar tuning — and the instrument is strung with a .010–.047 gauge set at 9.6mm string spacing.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — bridge pins, saddle, nut blanks, or tuning machines — should verify dimensions against the figures above before purchasing, and consult a qualified guitar technician for setup or structural work.

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.

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.
