Ibanez GA360TCE-NT GA Series Classical Electro Acoustic in Natural

The Ibanez GA360TCE-NT is a modern, stage-ready take on the classical guitar, pairing a thinline cutaway body with a highly versatile dual-pickup system. With its solid German spruce top, comfortable neck profile and clever dual-output electronics, it is ideal for players who want authentic nylon-string tone that is easy to play and simple to amplify in any live or studio setting.

Designed to remove the barriers often associated with traditional classical guitars, the GA360TCE-NT features a slightly narrower nut and a flatter fretboard radius for effortless fingering, especially if you are coming from a steel-string or electric background. The thinline cutaway body keeps the guitar lightweight and comfortable, while still delivering the warm, articulate voice that nylon strings are known for.

At the heart of the sound is a solid German spruce top, chosen for its sensitivity and clarity. It responds beautifully to subtle right-hand dynamics, making it equally at home with delicate fingerstyle, percussive techniques and more contemporary nylon-string styles. Acacia back and sides add a warm midrange and a bright, dry high end, helping your notes cut through a mix without sounding harsh.

For amplification, Ibanez have equipped the GA360TCE-NT with both undersaddle and contact pickups, along with custom electronics and dual outputs. This lets you blend or split the signals for a wide range of tones, from natural, mic-like resonance to punchy, focused projection. Whether you are plugging straight into a PA, using multiple channels on a mixer or experimenting with effects, the GA360TCE-NT gives you the control and flexibility to shape your sound exactly as you want it.

Comfortable Thinline Classical Design

The GA360TCE-NT uses a thinline cutaway classical body that feels instantly familiar to electric and steel-string players. The slimmer depth sits closer to the body, reducing fatigue during long rehearsals or gigs, while the cutaway and 14th-fret neck joint provide easy access to higher positions for solos and extended chord voicings.

Solid German Spruce Top for Clarity and Response

A solid German spruce top gives this guitar a lively, responsive character with excellent note definition. It captures subtle nuances in your playing, from gentle fingerpicking to more aggressive strumming, and offers a clear, pristine tone that works brilliantly both acoustically and when amplified.

Dual Pickup System with Flexible Outputs

Equipped with both undersaddle and contact pickups, the GA360TCE-NT captures string vibration across the whole body and neck for a rich, full acoustic sound. Ibanez Custom Electronics allow you to balance the two sources, while the dual-output configuration lets you route each pickup separately or as a blended signal, opening up a wide palette of tones for live performance and recording.

Player-Friendly Neck and Extended Fretboard

The combination of an okoume neck, a 46 mm nut width and a 400 mm fretboard radius offers a more forgiving feel than a traditional classical guitar. Chords and stretches are easier to fret, particularly for players used to narrower necks, and the extended fretboard gives you access to a wider range of notes for more adventurous arrangements and solos.
