Ibanez Artwood Artwood 7 String Acoustic Electric 2000 – Natural

The Ibanez Artwood AJ307CE 7 string acoustic is a pretty hard item to find.  This one arrived recently, sold to us by a long time customer, a top local jazz musician.

The guitar is in excellent condition with very light fret wear and super low action.  The truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustments.  We don’t have an appropriate string set here, so you’re going to want to get new strings prior to the arrival of the instrument.

An original hard case is included.

The Ibanez AJ307CE Artwood 7-string acoustic-electric guitar is a rare and versatile instrument designed for players seeking an extended range without compromising acoustic richness. This jumbo-bodied guitar features a solid Engelmann spruce top paired with rosewood back and sides, delivering a resonant, full-bodied tone. The seventh string, tuned to a low B, expands the instrument’s tonal range, making it ideal for a variety of musical styles.

Its cutaway design ensures easy access to the higher frets, while the mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard offer a comfortable playing experience. The AJ307CE is equipped with Fishman electronics, providing reliable amplified performance with side-mounted preamp controls for tonal adjustment. Gold-finished Grover tuners add a touch of elegance and ensure tuning stability.

The guitar has a 25.5-inch scale length and a nut width of 1 7/8 inches, striking a balance between playability and space for intricate fingerstyle techniques. Whether on stage or in the studio, this guitar delivers a dynamic sound with excellent projection. It typically comes with a sturdy hardshell case for protection and portability.
