Product Description
The Ibanez V40CE-OPN is a comfortable, cutaway electro acoustic that is perfect for beginners and developing players who want an easy-playing guitar they can plug in on stage or in the rehearsal room. With a classic Spruce-topped dreadnought body, warm Meranti back and sides and an Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner, it delivers reliable tone and straightforward functionality in a natural open-pore finish.
Whether you are learning your first chords, leading worship, or playing small gigs, the V40CE-OPN keeps things simple and musical. The slim, comfortable neck, responsive undersaddle pickup and intuitive preamp controls make it a practical choice for anyone who wants to focus on playing rather than tweaking gear.
Comfortable Cutaway Dreadnought Design
The classic dreadnought body shape gives the V40CE-OPN a full, confident acoustic voice, ideal for strumming and singer-songwriter styles. A soft cutaway provides easier access to the upper frets, so you can comfortably reach higher notes for solos, melodic lines and extended chord voicings without changing your playing position.
Spruce Top with Meranti Back and Sides
A Spruce top is paired with Meranti back and sides to deliver a clear, articulate sound with a warm, balanced low end. Spruce is known for its bright, pristine clarity, helping chords ring out cleanly, while Meranti adds a rounded, musical character that works well for both fingerpicking and strumming.
Nandu Wood Fretboard and Bridge
The Nandu Wood fretboard offers a rich, warm tonal response and a smooth playing surface that feels comfortable under the fingers. Matching Nandu Wood is used for the bridge, efficiently transferring string vibration into the body for a natural, resonant acoustic tone that responds well to different playing dynamics.
Stage Ready Electronics with Onboard Tuner
An Ibanez undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp make it easy to plug straight into an amp or PA. The simple control layout places bass, treble and volume knobs alongside a dedicated tuner on/off button, so you can shape your sound quickly and tune silently on stage without needing any extra pedals or accessories.
Features
- Cutaway Dreadnought Body - The dreadnought shape provides a strong, projecting acoustic tone that suits strumming, flatpicking and vocal accompaniment, while the cutaway lets you reach higher frets more easily for leads and melodic embellishments.
- Spruce Top with Meranti Back and Sides - Spruce delivers clear, defined highs and excellent note separation, complemented by the warm, balanced response of Meranti, giving you a versatile sound that works across many genres.
- Ibanez AEQ-2T Preamp with Onboard Tuner - The built-in preamp offers straightforward bass, treble and volume controls, along with an integrated tuner that can be used even when the guitar is not plugged in, helping you stay in tune at all times.
- Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins - Specially designed Advantage pins are easier to grip and remove than traditional pins, and their bulb-shaped end helps keep the string and pin securely in place, making string changes quicker and more secure.
