Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ibanez’s EWP13DBO is a compact, 1/3-size steel-string acoustic built around a 17-inch scale and an EW-style cutaway body. It is tuned A–D–G–C–E–A, a fourth higher than standard guitar tuning, so it gives six-string players a deliberately different register in a travel-friendly format. Ovangkol forms the top, back and sides, while the open-pore finish is intended to let the body resonate more freely for added tone and projection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Keeping a six-string close during trips when a full-size guitar is impractical.
- Playing guitar parts in A tuning with a baritone-ukulele-like 17-inch scale.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing an acoustic guitar in standard E–A–D–G–B–E tuning.
