Ibanez built the PF28ECETRS as part of the PF Series, a line positioned around accessible steel-string acoustics with electronics fitted as standard. The model carried a Cutaway Dreadnought body and a Transparent Red Sunburst High Gloss finish, and was equipped with a Fishman Sonicore pickup paired with Ibanez's AEQ-SP2 preamp — the preamp included an onboard tuner and offered both a balanced XLR output and a standard quarter-inch output, making the guitar usable direct to a PA as well as through an amplifier.
The top was Flamed Maple, with Sapele back and sides. The Okoume neck carried a Purpleheart fretboard and matching Purpleheart bridge, with white dot inlays and a water decal soundhole rosette. Nut and saddle were plastic, the nut measuring 42mm wide. Chrome die-cast tuners with half moon knobs handled tuning, and the bridge accepted Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. The guitar shipped strung with Ibanez IACS6C strings at gauges .012/.016/.024/.032/.042/.053, set to standard EADGBE tuning at a 650mm scale. The neck profile measured 21mm at the first fret and 22.5mm at the seventh, with a 250mm fretboard radius and 20 frets total.
Owners requiring setup work, nut or saddle replacement, or assistance sourcing compatible Fishman Sonicore or AEQ-SP2 components should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with acoustic-electric instruments.
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.
