The Ibanez GA5TCE-AM is a comfortable, stage-ready nylon-string with a thinline classical body and cutaway for easy upper-fret access. A spruce top with sapele back and sides delivers clear, balanced tone, while the onboard AEQ-2T preamp with built-in tuner makes plugging in simple. At 46 mm at the nut, it feels familiar to steel-string players moving to nylon, without losing classical playability.
