Ibanez FRH20 Thinline Nylon-string Acoustic-electric Guitar – Satin Natural

Ibanez FRH20 Thinline Nylon-string Acoustic-electric Guitar – Satin Natural

Bridging two musical worlds, the Ibanez FRH20 combines nylon-string richness with the sleek playability of a solidbody electric, giving you expressive depth without sacrificing speed and comfort. The eye-catching solid flame maple top is supported with classical-style fan bracing, enabling this acoustic-electric guitar to vibrate freely for a resonant, well-balanced sound with plenty of sustain. The nyatoh neck sports a comfortable C shape, and you get easy access to the rosewood fingerboard, thanks to the cutaways that embellish both sides of the FRH20. Moreover, Ibanez electronics and an under-saddle pickup equip this attention-grabbing instrument with stellar plugged-in tone. From intimate fingerstyle passages to fiery flamenco runs, this hybrid guitar will empower your creativity across genres, making every performance a bold statement. Whether you’re a classical player seeking modern flair or an electric guitarist craving a comfortable nylon-string instrument, the FRH20 will inspire you to explore exciting new sonic frontiers.

Solidbody playability with a bold classical voice

The FRH20 is designed around a modified FR hollowbody, providing you with the comfortable feel and sleek playability of a solidbody with the traditional tone of a nylon-string guitar. Much of this tone comes courtesy of this guitar’s traditional fan bracing, which allows the eye-grabbing flame maple top to vibrate freely, eliciting warm, rich tones, which really shine with classical and fingerstyle playing styles. Fan bracing also enhances the guitar’s sustain and resonance, providing a well-balanced sound with outstanding low-end emphasis. Overall, guitarists concur: the FRH20 offers a bold and innovative twist on the crossover nylon-string guitar.

A fresh take on the classical fingerboard

The comfortably slim C neck on the Ibanez FRH20 is a vast departure from the massive chunk of a traditional nylon-string instrument, allowing you to fly up and down the fingerboard with ease. Next, the 1.8-inch nut width is slightly thinner than the standard two inches found on most classical guitars, providing you with plenty of space for fingerstyle playing without feeling cumbersome. Finally, while the typical nylon-string guitar has no radius, the Thinline’s walnut neck is studded with a 15.75-inch radius, a design instantly familiar to musicians transitioning from an electric or steel-string acoustic.

Electronics ready for the stage and studio

The FRH20 sounds amazing acoustically. However, plug it in, and you’ll be treated to an excellent response from this guitar’s stunning tonewoods and Ibanez pickup. The thinline nylon acoustic-electric features an Ibanez T-bar under-saddle pickup that offers natural piezo-style sound with plenty of range. It’s also a great pickup for those looking for a more percussive pickup, capturing palm hits and delivering a bass drum-like response. Lastly, there’s also plenty of noise reduction to eliminate pesky overtones or buzzing; this means you’re treated to the clear, natural sound of the FRH20’s maple top and sapele back and sides.
