Have you been looking for an acoustic guitar that you can play anywhere? The parlor-sized Ibanez PN1MH is as comfortable as they come and offers real inspiration from the porch to the park. Its retro-appointed, sapele top and nyatoh body complements its satin-finished mahogany neck for a playing experience that far surpasses its price.





Nyatoh body delivers meaty mids and beautiful harmonics





The Ibanez PN1MH has a surprising amount of tone for an acoustic guitar of its size. Its nyatoh back and sides create a thick, present midrange with gorgeous harmonics. And when you really dig in, you can hear the overtones stack up and bloom, yielding a big sound that belies its size.





Ibanez ? a brief history





Ibanez began its life in 1908 as the Hoshino Gakki company in Nagoya, Japan; however, the company didn't get into the guitar business until 1929, when they started importing Salvador Ibanez guitars from Spain. In 1935, Hoshino Gakki began building Spanish acoustic guitars under the "Ibanez Salvador" name, which was later shortened to "Ibanez." Although Ibanez began manufacturing electric guitars in 1957, the company was relatively unknown in the West until the 1960s, when they started producing guitars based on American designs. By the late 1970s, Ibanez had stopped producing derivative guitars and had begun manufacturing the original designs that the company is now known for. Ibanez is also famous for their effect pedals (most notably the Tube Screamer) and guitar amplifiers.
