- Transparent Blue Sunburst High Gloss
Ibanez built the PF15ECETBS as part of the PF Series — a line of acoustic-electric guitars positioned as accessible, playable instruments. The model featured a cutaway dreadnought body in a Transparent Blue Sunburst High Gloss finish, paired with onboard electronics for amplified use.
The body was constructed with a spruce top over Nyatoh back and sides. The neck, also Nyatoh, carried a Nandu Wood fretboard and bridge, with white dot inlays across 20 frets. A plastic nut at 42mm width and plastic saddle sat at either end of the 650mm scale length. Tuning was handled by chrome die-cast tuners. Electronics consisted of an Ibanez Undersaddle pickup routed through an Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner, outputting via a standard 1/4" jack. Factory string gauge ran .012/.016/.024/.032/.042/.053 with 11mm string spacing, and the guitar shipped in standard E-A-D-G-B-E tuning.
Owners seeking setup adjustments, neck relief changes, or compatible replacement parts — including saddle, nut, bridge pins, or undersaddle pickup — should consult a qualified guitar technician, who can verify fit against the recorded dimensions before sourcing components.
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.
