Review: As described. - Excellent little guitar. Review: Great little guitar for slender hands. - The instrument I received was constructed to a very good standard. Fret ends were tidy and the binding looked really good. The sound could best be described as bright and jangly. A basic unpadded gig bag was included in the price too. As supplied, the string action was way too high, requiring considerable finger pressure to get clean chords at the first few frets. However after using nut files to reduce the string height at the nut, the guitar became much easier to play. It stayed in tune very well. Scale length is 435mm (17 1/8"). String spacing at the (42mm) nut is 36mm (from low A to high A) and is 47mm at the bridge. This is a seriously narrow neck. Also, the saddle looks to be borrowed from a regular sized guitar, so the strings don't quite sit in the right places. I have large hands and found the instrument very challenging to play chords at first (even though I also play mandolin). It required a bit of relearning to find the best way to voice chords without choking the strings. A different story for solos, the piccolo guitar plays like a dream. The reduced scale length means the string tension is high compared to regular sized guitar so it may be less than ideal as a child's learner instrument. Overall, a well made guitar. I was impressed. The sound is bright. The satin sheen, open-pore finish looks excellent as does the binding. The only down side for me was the extremely narrow neck and string spacing, so I give this guitar 4 stars. If the guitar had a regular string spacing (e.g 44mm nut etc) I would give it 5 stars. However, if you possess small, slender hands, this instrument may already be perfect for you. ## Features - COMPACT TRAVEL SIZE 17-inch scale makes it ideal for travelling, songwriting, practice and musicians looking for a highly portable acoustic guitar. - PREMIUM TONEWOODS Ovangkol top, back and sides with an okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard deliver bright, balanced acoustic tone. - PICCOLO GUITAR TUNING Factory tuned A-D-G-C-E-A, a perfect fourth above standard guitar tuning while using familiar chord shapes. - COMFORTABLE PLAYABILITY Slim neck profile, 42 mm nut width and cutaway body provide comfortable access across the fingerboard. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01AHWTIHG | | Back Material Type | Ovangkol Wood | | Back material type | Ovangkol Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | 23,607 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 65 in Acoustic Steel-String Guitars | | Body Material Type | Wood | | Brand | Ibanez | | Brand Name | Ibanez | | Colour | natural | | Connector Type | 1/4" jack | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 85 Reviews | | Finish Type | Shiny | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04515276838524 | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | gigibag, strap, picks | | Instrument | Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 76 x 37 x 11.5 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Guitar | | Item Weight | 0.91 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 76 x 37 x 11.5 centimetres | | Manufacturer | Ibanez | | Manufacturer Part Number | EWP14WB-OPN | | Material Type | Ovangkol Wood | | Model Name | EWP14WB-OPN | | Model Number | EWP14WB | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Product Warranty | 1. | | Size | One Size | | String Material Type | Nickel | | Top Material Type | Ovangkol | | Top material type | Ovangkol | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ibanez - **Size:** One Size - **Colour:** natural - **Top material type:** Ovangkol - **Back material type:** Ovangkol Wood - **String material type:** Nickel - **Finish type:** Shiny - **Instrument:** Guitar - **Item weight:** 0.91 Kilograms - **Operation mode:** Manual ## Images ![Ibanez EWP14WB Piccolo Acoustic Guitar - Open Pore Natural | 17" travel guitar with ovangkol body, steel strings, A-D-G-C-E-A tuning for bright tone and comfortable portability - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mZAZqyHuL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the tone and loudness enough for playing outside? As it's small? Want for busking in non amplified quieter spots** A: I regularly use mine in a quartet playing bluegrass and other folk music with vocal harmonies. This little guitar cuts through really well, especially for solos. I think you'll find it works fine for busking. I absolutely love mine. Hope you do too. **Q: Is this a guitar or a piccolo?** A: This is a small guitar, tuned 4th higher than a regular guitar hence the name piccolo-guitar **Q: Is this electro acoustic? Have jac input to amplify?** A: No. acoustic only. You may be able to get a luthier to install a piezo pickup under the bridge because it has a regular acoustic guitar bridge. **Q: Are there two strap buttons to attach strap? Does it take standard jac lead for playing amplified?** A: One metal strap button on tail of guitar. You'll need to tie the other end of the strap around the neck up near the nut. Acoustic only. No pickup in guitar. No jack. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As described. *by K***R on 24 March 2026* Excellent little guitar. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little guitar for slender hands. *by A***R on 14 May 2022* The instrument I received was constructed to a very good standard.

The tone of the sound was pleasing as well - really projected. I really liked the finish and feel of the instrument. What I was really disappointed to find was that the tuning and intonation when playing was terrible (other reviews have said the same). Perhaps adjusting the nut would have reduced some of the issues when fretting notes against open strings but I think in general the bridge itself is not 100% accurately placed (the only way to really set the intonation). An instrument for a bit of fun but I had intended to use it within a local uke jam but the tuning issues prevented that hence I returned it. A real shame as the string spacing / feel / tone / looks where great, it just was too much of a gamble / expense to whether the intonation could be corrected. At an rrp of Β£190, the tuning / intonation should really be better ## Frequently Bought Together - Ibanez EWP Series EWP14WB Electro-acoustic guitar -Open Pore Natural - D'Addario Lemon Oil - Guitar Fretboard Oil - Guitar Accessories - Removes Dirt, Grease, Build Up from Instrument - Conditions to Resist Dryness - Extends Fretboard Life - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL120-7 - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 7 String Guitars - 09-54 Super Light 7-String --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/52634332-ibanez-ewp14wb-piccolo-acoustic-guitar-open-pore-natural-17-travel](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52634332-ibanez-ewp14wb-piccolo-acoustic-guitar-open-pore-natural-17-travel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
