The Ibanez FRH is the perfect solution for guitarists seeking the expressive tone of nylon strings with the familiar playability of an electric guitar. Designed with both comfort and performance in mind, this unique hybrid instrument blends acoustic warmth with sleek, stage-ready features.
Its thin, compact FR-style body is tailored for exceptional playability, boasting superior high fret access and a modified hollow design. The lack of a traditional sound hole not only minimizes feedback—making it ideal for amplified live settings—but also directs the pure acoustic tone toward the player through a smartly placed side sound port.
The FRH’s tonal character is shaped by a Flamed Maple top for brilliance and clarity, paired with Sapele back and sides for a warm, midrange-rich response. A Nyatoh neck and Rosewood fretboard deliver a comfortable grip and a focused, well-balanced tone. The 46mm nut width and 400mmR fretboard radius ensure easy fingering and smooth transitions, especially for those accustomed to electric neck profiles.
Electronics-wise, the Ibanez undersaddle pickup captures every nuance of your playing, while the AEQ210T preamp adds tonal control and a built-in tuner for on-the-go precision.
Whether you're a classical guitarist seeking modern playability or an electric player wanting to explore nylon tones, the FRH offers a versatile, feedback-resistant design that shines on stage and at home.
