The Ibanez GA5MHTCE offers nylon-string classical guitarists a thinline cutaway instrument with onboard electronics for playing plugged in or acoustic. With its solid sapele top, back and sides and okoume neck, this guitar produces a warm yet articulate tone that rings out clearly. The purpleheart fingerboard and bridge provide attractive aesthetics while also enhancing tone and playability. Whether you prefer fingerstyle or strumming chords, the GA5MHTCE delivers a comfortable playing experience with its 46 mm nut width and 14-fret neck joint.

Thinline Cutaway Body Provides Comfort and Access

The GA5MHTCE features a thinline cutaway body that is comfortable to play whether seated or standing. The cutaway gives you full access to higher frets, enabling advanced techniques. Despite its reduced size, the all-wood construction still produces impressive volume and sustain. The thinner, lighter design also makes this guitar ideal for travel or long gigs where a standard classical body may become fatiguing.

Select Tonewoods Deliver Rich Sound

Sapele wood used for the top, back and sides gives this guitar a robust, balanced tone with clear highs, warm mids and tight lows. The okoume neck offers stability and a smooth playing feel. Purpleheart, used for the fingerboard and bridge, provides hardness and beauty while enhancing sustain and articulation. Combined, these tonewoods let the GA5MHTCE sing with a resonant, articulate classical voice whether played acoustic or plugged in.
