Ibanez MRC10 Marcin Patrzalek Signature Acoustic Electric Guitar, Solid Sitka Spruce Top

Player's Perspective

We're proud to bring you this gorgeous Marcin Patrzalek signature acoustic-electric guitar from Ibanez!

The MRC10 is a true workhorse of an instrument, bringing together premium tonewoods at a very affordable price point, including a solid sitka spruce top. Along with an ebony fretboard and pau ferro back and sides, this beautiful instrument combines traditional acoustic tone with Ibanez' modern enhancements, including an optimized ergonomic body shape, clean aesthetics, and an amazing-sounding Fishman pickup and preamp system. The neck on this guitar feels incredible to play, with a super comfortable C profile that feels almost "electric guitar" in nature. It also features a "scratch pad" for percussive sounds that add a brand-new dimension to your playing without risk of scratching up the top wood. 

This is a very underrated model in the Ibanez lineup and we definitely think it's worth a test drive if you're looking for a high-end acoustic-electric for not a lot of money!
