Review: Excactly what I was looking for. - I wouldn’t usually buy a guitar without trying it out first but as this was a Black Friday deal and on desertcart who have always been really good if I needed to return or reject something I took a chance. I’m glad I did. Bearing in mind this is not a really high end guitar but a mid price, I’m really surprised. Usually when I buy a guitar even from a dealer I need to make some adjustments, usually a turn to the truss rod and alteration to the action but this one was just fine straight out of the box. Plays very nicely and a good sound when plugged into an amp. Only one drawback, no studs to use a strap but that can be overcome with a couple of pounds and ten minutes DIY. To sum up, five stars and very happy. Review: Great guitar for the price - Studied Spanish guitar many years ago with a fabulous teacher but stopped playing when my family arrived (just couldn’t devote the time required to practice). Continued with other types of guitar but in retirement decided to go back to Spanish so was looking for a decent but not too expensive guitar. This fits the bill perfectly. Slimline neck so works well as my hands have never been a “players” hands after years of manual work. The slimline body gives a surprisingly rich sound and being able to use the pre-amp an added bonus, especially for tuning (with tinnitus this helps enormously). Overall, for the price, I cannot fault this Classical guitar - perhaps not for traditionalists but for someone playing for the absolute pleasure of learning new (to them) music it wins every time 👍 ## Features - 4/4 Konzertgitarren - Konzertgitarren - Gitarren - We emphasise a balanced combination of careful workmanship and selected materials. - OUR GOAL - Your satisfaction is our top priority and takes centre stage. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002DVLDK | | Back Material Type | Sapele Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | 9,149 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 21 in Classical Guitars | | Body Material Type | Sapele | | Brand Name | Ibanez | | Colour | Amber High Gloss | | Connector Type | 1/4" output jack | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (239) | | Fretboard Material Type | Purpleheart | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00606559153077, 04515110153073 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Piezo | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Guitar | | Instrument | guitar | | Item Dimensions | 104.1 x 48.3 x 15.2 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 104.1L x 48.3W x 15.2H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Ibanez GA5TCE-AM Thinline Electro-Acoustic Classical Guitar - Amber High Gloss Finish | | Item Weight | 4.03 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Ibanez | | Manufacturer Part Number | GA5TCE | | Material Type | Sapele Wood | | Model Name | GA5TCE | | Model Number | GA5TCE | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Product Warranty | 1 year manufacturer. | | Scale Length | 650 | | Set Name | D'Addario EXP45N | | Size | 19" x 41" x 6" | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 606559153077 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Sapele Wood - **Body material:** Sapele - **Brand:** Ibanez - **Colour:** Amber High Gloss - **Fretboard material type:** Purpleheart - **Guitar pick-up configuration:** Piezo - **Hand orientation:** Right - **Neck material type:** Mahogany - **String material type:** Alloy Steel - **Top material type:** Spruce Wood ## Images ![Ibanez GA5TCE Classical Electro Acous tic Guitar, Amber - 4/4 classical guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xgv4-T4rL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the neck width?

The thinner body feels great and suits those more used to electric guitars. The built in tuner is simple and very handy, the pick up sounds amazing and it plays like a dream. I have wanted to get back to classical playing for a while and this guitar feels like it should cost double. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ibanez GA5TCE Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar - CAHAYA 41 In Acoustic Guitar Bag 0.35 In Thick Padding Water Resistent Dual Adjustable Shoulder Strap Guitar Case Gig Bag with Back Hanger Loop, Black CY0152 - WINGO Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitars - Rosewood Color with 5 Picks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/53416171-ibanez-ga5tce-classical-electro-acous-tic-guitar-amber-4-4](https://www.desertcart.us/products/53416171-ibanez-ga5tce-classical-electro-acous-tic-guitar-amber-4-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
