- Mahogany Sunburst Open Pore
Ibanez built the PC18MHMHS as part of the PF Series, a line positioned as an accessible entry point into acoustic guitar ownership. The model carried a Grand Concert body format and was finished in an open pore Mahogany Sunburst.
The top, back, and sides were constructed from Okoume, with a Nyatoh neck and a Laurel fretboard and bridge. White dot inlays marked the positions along the Laurel board, which had a 240mm radius, 20 frets, and a 42mm nut width. The scale length measured 634mm. Neck dimensions were 21mm at the first fret and 22.5mm at the seventh. Chrome open-gear machine heads handled tuning, with a plastic nut and plastic saddle at either end of the string path. Ibanez Advantage bridge pins secured the strings — Ibanez IACS6C, gauged .012/.016/.024/.032/.042/.053 — at a string spacing of 11mm at the bridge. The soundhole rosette was a black and white multi-layer binding. The guitar shipped in standard E-A-D-G-B-E tuning.
Owners seeking setup adjustments, nut or saddle replacement, or compatible Laurel-board-compatible parts should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician.
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.
