Ibanez FRH10N Thinline Nylon Acoustic-electric Guitar

The Ibanez FRH10N acoustic-electric guitar combines the traditional sound of nylon strings with the fast playability of an electric, appealing to a wide range of players, from speedy shredders to classical and flamenco enthusiasts. With a rich history and a roster of renowned artists, Ibanez continues to push the boundaries of guitar innovation.

Classic Meets Contemporary: The Ibanez FRH10N features a modified hollow FR body shape, derived from its electric series counterpart. Constructed with a Sitka spruce top and sapele back/sides, it delivers a well-balanced acoustic sound. The sapele tempers the spruce's brightness, resulting in a uniquely rich and resonant tone. Traditional fan bracing internally enhances the definitive sonic character of nylon-string acoustics. Its ultrathin, 1-15/16"-thick body, resembling a high-octane electric, adds a modern touch to the traditional sound. The Ibanez FRH10N offers a classic yet contemporary playing experience appreciated by any guitarist.

A Neck Where Speed and Comfort Collide: Navigate the Ibanez FRH10N neck effortlessly, enjoying the same comfort and precision as your favorite fast-playing electric guitar. The Nyatoh neck, shaped in a comfortable C with a flat 400 mm radius, features 22 frets on a walnut fingerboard, complete with a slim 46 mm bone nut. Accessing higher frets is easy, thanks to the unobtrusive lower bout of the FR-style body, allowing free movement between positions. The quick FRH10N neck is complemented by a conventional classical headstock with gold tuners, providing a visual impression that is both modern and timeless. Whether you're accustomed to classical acoustics or venturing into nylon territory as an electric player, the Ibanez FRH10N offers a sense of freedom and familiarity with an expanded tonal range.

Streamlined Custom Ibanez Electronics: Ibanez enhances the FRH10N with an undersaddle T-bar pickup and preamp, accurately reproducing a full-spectrum sound for any amplification system. Whether you're playing nuanced fingerstyle or prog-fusion riffs, the pickup captures detailed tones, allowing you to showcase the same sound in recordings or live performances as if the guitar were in your lap. The compact active preamp includes a mute button for signal control, while keeping the electronics streamlined, making the FRH10N a plug-and-play acoustic-electric guitar. This approach not only reduces electronic bulk but also gives the instrument a sleek, electric-style silhouette, ensuring a lightweight and ergonomic feel.

Unique Soundport Placement: With a unique side soundport on the upper bout, providing a distinctive appearance while enhancing the playing experience. This port projects sound directly at the guitarist, fostering an intimate connection to the instrument. On stage, the FRH10N is less prone to feedback compared to guitars with forward-facing soundholes. It delivers clear and direct sound, whether played acoustically or amplified. Combining tradition and innovation, the FRH10N offers nylon-string sound with electric-like playability, allowing guitarists to discover their unique voice.
