Ibanez built the PF28ECEDVS as part of the PF Series acoustic line, positioning it as a cutaway dreadnought with onboard electronics aimed at players who needed stage-ready amplification from an acoustic-electric instrument. The Dark Violin Sunburst high-gloss finish distinguished it visually within the series.
The body paired a flamed maple top with sapele back and sides, while an okoume neck carried a purpleheart fretboard and matching purpleheart bridge — an unconventional tonal pairing that set this model apart from more conventional spruce-and-rosewood configurations. White dot inlays marked the purpleheart board across 20 frets, and chrome die-cast tuners with half-moon knobs handled tuning stability. The electronics package centred on a Fishman Sonicore undersaddle pickup feeding an Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp with an onboard tuner; the output section offered both a balanced XLR and a quarter-inch jack, accommodating either a PA or a standard instrument cable. Ibanez Advantage bridge pins and IACS6C strings in a .012–.053 gauged set completed the factory specification. The nut measured 42mm wide and the scale ran 650mm, with a 250mm fretboard radius.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including saddle and nut blanks, bridge pins compatible with the Ibanez Advantage specification, or Fishman Sonicore replacement elements — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier to confirm fit against the instrument's current 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.
