Ibanez built the GA6CE as part of its Classical Series, positioning it as an electro-acoustic classical guitar with a cutaway body. The cutaway configuration gave players access to the upper register while retaining the fan-braced spruce top characteristic of the classical tradition. The Amber High Gloss finish was applied across the body, with a full gloss treatment on the top, back, sides, and neck.
The body pairs a spruce top with sapele back and sides, braced with classical fan bracing. The okoume neck carries a purpleheart fretboard and matching purpleheart bridge, with a flat radius and 52mm nut width. The neck profile measures 22mm at the first fret and 24mm at the seventh. Gold classical tuners handle tuning, and coated nylon strings are strung at an 11.6mm string spacing across the 19-fret neck at a 650mm scale. On the electronics side, Ibanez fitted an undersaddle pickup feeding an AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner, outputting through a standard 1/4" jack on a 9V battery. The soundhole carries a classical mosaic design rosette, and the body is bound in black.
Owners requiring setup work, nut replacement, or pickup servicing should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with classical and nylon-string instruments, as the construction conventions differ from steel-string guitars.
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.
