An Affordable, All-mahogany Parlor Guitar

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.

Ibanez PN1MH Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Parlor-sized acoustic guitar
  • Nyatoh body delivers thick midrange and gorgeous harmonics
  • Sapele top creates strong projection
  • Creates a big sound that belies its size
  • Nandu bridge and fingerboard
  • Attractive classical mosaic rosette

Sweet couch guitar with room filling sound

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and have owned several acoustics over the years, many of them costing much more than this little guy. But I recently hurt my shoulder and needed something smaller to keep my shoulder in a more natural position. I didn't really expect much out of this - I have an Ibanez tenor guitar which set my expectations for a quiet and thin sound. But I was very surprised by both the volume and the sweet and full tone coming from this laminated, lower-end guitar! Fit and finish are nothing to get excited about, but are all good where it really counts - neck and fretboard are perfect! I agree with those other reviews that say the stock tuners are junk, but I swapped in some Grover Sta-Tite 14:1 tuning machines and am in love with this little thing now! It seemed almost wrong to spend so much on the tuners when the guitar was so cheap, but I'm still under $ after tax with new tuners and a set of strings, so I'm not gonna complain! I hesitated a long time before dropping bills on another guitar, but I am so glad I did! This is my absolute favorite couch/camp guitar, and may be my favorite guitar overall right now. I feel silly gushing over a guitar with these specs, but in my hands and to my ears, it's worth a lot more than what you may read about it here! Absolutely delighted!!!

PERFECT FOR LEARNING AND WATCHING THE INTERNET

All I did was tune it, and it was ready to go. It came with a hex wrench for my truss rod plus a saddle and nut just in case, but I don't think I'll need them. Good sound, and VERY easy to handle while I watch movies or take guitar lessons online. I saw a few minor complaints lower down this list, but Ibanez must have read them and made improvements. Mine was fine. My dreadnaught was too big to hold while I sat on my Lazy Boy chair watching lessons online, The PN-1 is great and it's beautiful. Thanks to my friend, Paul Eckert, who is always helpful.

Nice little guitar

For the money this is a nice little parlor guitar. The finish on it looks clear and smooth, the neck has a really nice smooth feel. It has held its tune so far and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice inexpensive parlor guitar.
