Ibanez PJ50E OAH Open Pore Acoustic Guitar - Vintage Amber Sunburst

Dressed in a striking Open Pore Vintage Amber Sunburst finish on its jumbo-style body, this guitar beautifully showcases its natural wood grain while allowing the tonewoods to breathe. The top is laminated spruce, while the back and sides are laminated meranti — a combination that offers balanced tone, good projection and affordability. 

Body & Construction
With its jumbo body size, the PJ50E offers a spacious soundstage that’s well suited to full-chord strumming as well as expressive single-note work. The open-pore polyurethane finish adds to the organic feel and helps the top resonate freely. The neck is made of meranti, joined to the body with a dovetail joint (at the 14th fret), and the fingerboard is made of Nandu wood.

Playability
The scale length is 25.5″ (648 mm) and nut width is 42 mm — providing comfortable fretting for many players. With 20 frets and a smooth neck profile, this guitar is ready both for rhythm work and more melodic playing.

Electronics
Built for both unplugged and plugged-in use, this model comes with Ibanez’s undersaddle pickup system plus their AEQ-2T preamp (with onboard tuner) so you can plug into an amplifier or PA with ease. The inclusion of this preamp makes the PJ50E performance-friendly for live setups or recording.

Tone & Character
The spruce top brings clarity and responsiveness, while the meranti back and sides contribute warmth and balanced midrange. Together with the open-pore finish and jumbo body, the instrument yields a voice that’s lively and full-bodied, with good headroom and presence for both strumming and fingerstyle work.

Finish & Aesthetics
The Open Pore finish gives the instrument a natural, tactile surface — you’ll feel the texture of the wood beneath rather than a slick high-gloss coating. Visually, the Vintage Amber Sunburst offers a classic, inviting look that complements the performance-ready build.

Things to Note

• It’s not a solid-top instrument; the top is laminated spruce, so while tone is very good, those seeking fully solid construction for aging resonance may look elsewhere.
• A gig-bag or case is not included, so budget accordingly for transport or protection. (Several listings note “no case included”.)

The Ibanez PJ50E OAH is a well-built, visually appealing jumbo acoustic-electric guitar with a natural-feel finish, strong electronics, and musical flexibility. It’s a smart pick for the player who wants a serious instrument without breaking the bank.
