- Open Pore Natural
Ibanez built the PF12MHOPN as part of the PF Series, a line positioned as an entry-level to mid-range acoustic offering within the broader Ibanez acoustic catalogue. The model carried a dreadnought body configuration and an open pore natural finish, the latter leaving the wood surface largely uncoated rather than applying a high-gloss lacquer layer.
The top, back, and sides were constructed from sapele, with a nyatoh neck — marketed under Ibanez's PF neck designation. The fretboard and bridge were both nandu wood, and inlay work consisted of white dot markers. The soundhole rosette was tortoiseshell in appearance. Hardware included chrome open gear tuners, plastic nut and saddle, and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. The instrument shipped strung with Ibanez IACS6C strings gauged .012/.016/.024/.032/.042/.053, at standard factory tuning. The scale length measured 650mm, nut width 42mm, and the neck profile measured 21.5mm thick at the first fret and 23.5mm at the seventh, with a 250mm radius fretboard. Total fret count was 20.
Owners seeking replacement parts — including compatible saddles, nut blanks, bridge pins, or tuning machines — or requiring setup adjustments such as action and intonation work should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with dreadnought acoustics.
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.
