The PN1MH is all that you'd expect a "blues box" should be, which is quite surprising for an affordable parlor guitar. It carries Ibanez's reputation for high quality and easy playability while being the cheapest among the best parlor guitars on our recommended list.

To get the price low, Ibanez utilizes cheaper and more sustainable alternatives to the usual guitar tonewoods, including sapele for the top and nyatoh for the back and sides.

Thankfully, they did not skimp on the tuners because this one stays in tune better than most entry-level acoustics. But at this price, expecting some minor cosmetic inconsistencies is normal. It features a retro-inspired, slim, sleek body design with old-school style appointments.

As expected from Ibanez, the neck is easy on the hands - very playable. This is for you if you're looking for a budget-friendly parlor guitar to be your primary portable and beater acoustic guitar.
