The AE245-NT is a seriously impressive acoustic-electric for the money. It's got a surprisingly rich voice thanks to that Okoume top, and the Ibanez pickup system is genuinely useful for gigs or recording. This is a great choice for gigging singer-songwriters or students looking for a versatile, well-playing instrument without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
The T-bar system is surprisingly good for the price point, offering a natural sound, but it won't match the nuance of a premium acoustic pickup.
The Katalox fretboard is smooth and fast, but it can occasionally feel slightly tacky in humid conditions – a quick lemon oil application solves this easily.
Okoume offers a warmer, mellower tone than spruce, with a slightly less pronounced high-end – great for players who prefer a softer, more rounded acoustic sound.
