Description

Ibanez produced the PF15VS as part of the PF Series, positioning it as a dreadnought acoustic aimed at players seeking a full-body acoustic platform. The Vintage Sunburst High Gloss finish was the defining visual characteristic of this variant within the PF15 range.

Construction centred on a spruce top paired with nyatoh back and sides, with a nyatoh neck and nandu wood fretboard and bridge. White dot inlays marked the fretboard positions, and a black and white multi-layer rosette surrounded the soundhole. Hardware consisted of chrome die-cast tuners, plastic nut and saddle, and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. The guitar shipped strung with a .012–.053 gauged set at standard E-to-E factory tuning. The 650 mm scale length, 42 mm nut width, 250 mmR fretboard radius, and neck profile dimensions of 21.5 mm at the first fret and 23.5 mm at the seventh fret are the key measurements an owner will need when sourcing a replacement nut, saddle, or strings. String spacing at the bridge is 11 mm.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly the plastic nut, saddle, or Ibanez Advantage bridge pins — or requiring neck or fretboard work should consult a qualified guitar technician who can verify fit against the instrument's actual dimensions before installation.

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.

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.

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.
