Ibanez PN1 Mahogany Review

Nice little guitar

For the money this is a nice little parlor guitar. The finish on it looks clear and smooth, the neck has a really nice smooth feel. It has held its tune so far and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice inexpensive parlor guitar.

SUPRISED

Just got this lil GEM; and I'm in total shock. Spent 10 minutes lowering the saddle and now it's in intonation. I did not have to do any fret work and now I have a GREAT couch guitar and can leave my Taylors in their cases and not worry about them getting scratched while I watch football and do some strumming. As usual Bob was spot on about this lil GEM and it is exactly what I… read more wanted and needed. Ordered this on a Friday night and got it today Wednesday. SWEETWATER ROCKS||||||||||||||||||

Sweet couch guitar with room filling sound

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and have owned several acoustics over the years, many of them costing much more than this little guy. But I recently hurt my shoulder and needed something smaller to keep my shoulder in a more natural position. I didn't really expect much out of this - I have an Ibanez tenor guitar which set my expectations for a quiet and thin sound. But… read more I was very surprised by both the volume and the sweet and full tone coming from this laminated, lower-end guitar! Fit and finish are nothing to get excited about, but are all good where it really counts - neck and fretboard are perfect! I agree with those other reviews that say the stock tuners are junk, but I swapped in some Grover Sta-Tite 14:1 tuning machines and am in love with this little thing now! It seemed almost wrong to spend so much on the tuners when the guitar was so cheap, but I'm still under $ after tax with new tuners and a set of strings, so I'm not gonna complain! I hesitated a long time before dropping bills on another guitar, but I am so glad I did! This is my absolute favorite couch/camp guitar, and may be my favorite guitar overall right now. I feel silly gushing over a guitar with these specs, but in my hands and to my ears, it's worth a lot more than what you may read about it here! Absolutely delighted!!!

Great sound for such a little guitar

When I recieved the Ibanez PN1 I had to set it up, but what the heck, you pretty much need to do that on any acoustic. Now the action is perfect and I like being able to just toss it into my SUV and head to the cabin.

Great starter guitar

I bought this for my daughter who is just learning guitar. Her arms were not long enough to learn on her dad's instruments, so we were looking for something smaller with good sound. This guitar fit the bill perfectly, and after just a month or so she is already enjoying her practice! As soon as I placed the order online, I was contacted by the friendliest customer care rep, and… read more was assured I would always have someone to reach out to should I need any help. That little extra personalization is hard to find anymore, and I very much appreciated that.
