Fantastic Value in a Parlor A/E!

Looking for a quality small-bodied acoustic-electric that won't break the bank? Sweetwater's got your guitar! The Ibanez PN12EVMS is all about the warmth of nyatoh. With its sapele top, and nyatoh back, and sides, this instrument projects warm, balanced tone that's in its element at home or in the studio. Plug in onstage, and the onboard electronics deliver the same great tone. For recording, a flat-picked "hog" sits right in your track without tons of tweakage. And you'll appreciate the way the huggable parlor-sized body cradles comfortably when you're playing sitting down. The Ibanez PN12EVMS rocks classy looks, great sound and playability, and a tiny price tag. What's not to love?

Ibanez PN12EVMS Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Parlor body style projects balanced tone and is comfortable to play
  • Sapele top creates warmth and resonance
  • Nyatoh back, and sides deliver warm tone

I've had this for about 2 weeks. I love it. Had the Sweetwater set up. Action is good. Plays great. Responsive. Love the tuner. My only critique is the electronics doesn't provide a stronger response on the low E. Though this may be inherent to the smaller body. Otherwise this instrument is just what I wanted. A decent instrument that could dare to go where I wouldn't want to take my "good" guitars. We'll see how it holds up but. It is fun to play!

All things considered

The guitar sounds great acoustically. Crispy highs with a semi-boxy sound. The craftsmanship is just okay. Mine had some messy glue spots, a couple blemishes/nicks in the finish, and sloppy cleanup on the bridge. The saddle that came in the guitar had been horribly set up. Someone cut notches in it to try to lower the action resulting in unevenly spaced strings and uneven string height. The groove for the saddle had a big clump of glue on one side which resulted in improper seating for the pickup and saddle. Fortunately, it came with an extra saddle in the box. After sanding to the proper height, and cleaning up the groove in the bridge, I got it playing well. Overall, this is not a bad guitar. Just beware, you may need to take some time to set it up properly. Once again, it's only $200 and it has a decent sounding pickup.

Well Worth The Price

I have a dreadnought guitar and a Jumbo size guitar, but I felt the need for a smaller size acoustic guitar for song writing and working out songs.

I have always had great success with Ibanez instruments and Sweetwater's quality; this is no exception.

It's described as a Parlor guitar, but it's roughly the size of an OM guitar.

Quality, tone, playability, and projection are all top tier.

I would definitely buy this again.JL

Amazing Sound and Response

Bought this guitar to write with. Looked at a few different brands and gave this one a shot. The tone is incredible for the cost of this guitar. I would almost put this guitar up against my Taylor as far as tone is concerned.

It's not too short

The axe I got looks much different than the picture, it's nearly all black but it's very pretty. Plays like a champ, especially on an amp. Great value and sound for the price.
