The new models of the Ibanez Performance Series represent a strong focus on sound quality and performance at an excellent value. With over 50 years of experience to draw from, the new Performance Series models will raise the bar on what can be expected from an economical, entry-level instrument. The PF18 is Dreadnought body style acoustic with a spruce top, back and sides for a warm, full tone.

While the Open Pore finish adds to the guitars natural, subtle aesthetics, it also contributes to the sound of the instrument. Thick, heavy finishes can impede the vibration of a guitar’s body, “choking” the instruments tone and projection. The light, carefully applied Weathered Black Open Pore finish permits the wood to transfer sound more freely, optimizing vibration and allowing the guitar to realize it’s full sound potential. The PF18 also features a Chrome Open Gear Tuners, laurel fretboard and bridge with Ibanez Advantage bridge pins for improved tuning stability.
