Ibanez 6 String Acoustic Guitar, TCY10ETBS

The action is nice and easy. Love the built in tuner. Still breaking it in and need to retune each time I play but it’s only 2 weeks old. The sound is great. It’s a bit smaller then expected. In the photo this guitar is on the left while a 12-string Ibanez is on the right. I was kind of hoping that they would be of a similar size when I set up the hangers. That said it is nice and small, very comfortable to play and really a very good sound very small guitar at a great price. I have yet to hook it up to an amp and hear what it sounds like amplified but imagine it will sound just as good. I’m looking forward to many years of enjoyment. For the price you really won’t be disappointed with this guitar.
Update: After a couple months it’s holding tune a lot better between plays. Still love the built in tuner and I bought a Fender Acoustasonic amp to play it on. Haven’t rocked out on the amp too loud but it does sound nice amplified as well. Really tough to beat the deal for the price. My dad really enjoyed it as well when he played it the other day. Liked it so much he is contemplating a purchase. I think he will be getting one for Christmas from me instead. Definitely a good purchase!

I like this little guitar. I “noodled” around on one like this over a few months before finally ordering this one for myself. I was hesitant about ordering any guitar online, but I took a chance, and it worked out fine.

Sound:
This type of guitar has a distinct sound that is somewhere between that of a small size guitar and that of a regular size guitar. But it is an electric acoustic guitar, so if you need a bigger sound, you may connect it to a sound system via the jack on the bottom of the guitar, adjust the controls, and it should work just fine for the average player.

If possible, play one before you buy one. Check your local music store/”Guitar Center” store, or, if you are lucky, your local pawn shop for one you can try out.

My experience:
When I first played it fresh out of the box, it sounded “okay” but not great. Then something strange happened. The more I played it, it seemed to sound progressively worse–particularly the “D” string. I tweaked the tuning a bit and played it some more. Still there was little improvement. I began contemplating returning it for a refund, or possibly replacing the tuning pegs and strings.

But, after a couple of hours playing it, it started sounding better and better and more like the others I’ve played. I tweaked the tuning a little more, and now it sounds good to my ears. I’m not sure what the problem was, Perhaps it was adjusting to a temperature change.
Bottom line:

Pros
It’s a very good little guitar. Not GREAT, but this one works well for me.. I like the small–but not too small– size of the guitar, its distinctive sound, and, yes, I do like the way it looks.. It’s a good size for mid-size children that they can grow into. It holds a tuning well. It has the capability to be connected to a sound system for enhancement. It’s probably a good choice as a first guitar, a better-quality second guitar, or just a extra guitar for a different sound when you need it.

Cons
None really. Just be prepared to give this guitar a couple of hours of “warm-up” playing before it “settles” into your groove.

I was looking for an acoustic thinline. I have another Ibanez and it rocks. This one feels and sounds like a toy. The neck was passable, very thin like a strat which I liked but It feels cheap. After about 6 months the inlays started peeling up. Ibanez has slipped.

La guitarra esta muy bonita. Desafortunadamente el vendedor me envió una que trateaba la primera cuerda.

love the feel of the body shape but had a bot of the skin that goes over the shell come off around the soundhole but is not noticable unless you look up close

Super son pour le prix
