Body made of curly maple

The piccolo tuning and compact tenor size produce a fresh sound rich in overtones, with concise response and transparent articulation. The laminated curly maple body ensures focused projection with tight basses, well-defined mids, and brilliant highs. Chords sound airy and detailed, while individual notes stand out clearly, making the guitar ideal for melody lines, arpeggios, or percussive playing styles. The instrument complements arrangements with a characterful, shimmering timbre.

Cutaway design

A key premium feature is the cutaway, which allows comfortable access to the higher registers and extends the playing range. The okoume neck sits comfortably in the hand, supporting a fluid playing experience. Chords and melodies can be executed precisely on the purpleheart fingerboard with a 15.75" radius. Combined with a 42 mm nut width and 432 mm short scale length, the guitar offers comfortable playability and encourages creative techniques.

In-house pickup and preamp

For amplified performance, the EWP17M1E-SFO is equipped with an Ibanez undersaddle pickup and AEQ2U preamp, allowing the characteristic piccolo sound to be transmitted to an amplifier or PA with clarity and balance. The built-in tuner enables quick, precise tuning, while tone controls provide flexible sound shaping.

Soda Float Open Pore Finish

Visually, the guitar is presented in the eye-catching Soda Float Open Pore Finish, which highlights the curly maple grain naturally. The open-pore varnish emphasizes the organic character of the wood and gives the instrument a modern aesthetic. A shimmering single-ring rosette adds an elegant accent, completing the unique, harmonious design.
