I have 2 of these. One from 2017 made in China and One from last year made in Indonesia, bought form Adorama at a few more beans than this deal... Can't say enough good things about them. PERFECT for beginners, all the way through seasoned 30+yr players like myself. I'm about to put a HyVibe in the first one. Trying to resist the temptation to buy a few more for modifications like7 string, 'angel strung' and alternate tunings. Service from Adorama was top notch too. As for 10mm tuners, if they don't fit , it's nothing a steady hand and proper size drill bit cant make happen...

Anyone happen to know if Grover rotomatic tuners are a "drop in" fit on this current model Ibanez? They are 10mm peg hole. Looking for a cheap beater acoustic and already have a spare set of Grovers laying around. Will be my dedicated rain song tuning / campfire axe. Pet peeve of mine is dealing with crappy feeling tuners even if they work great since I do a lot of drop/open tuning changes. Sounds nuts but I'm sure some of you know what I mean.

The hex head of the threaded ferrule on the OEM Machine Head takes a 10 mm socket, and measures the same as the size of the hole in the headstock with my calipers, so I'm guessing you're good to go. PM with link to pics sent.
I've always been a fan of the Artwood and Exotic Wood series Ibanez acoustics. Had one over a decade ago and wish I never got rid of it. Just all around good guitars for beginners and experienced players. Can't be beat for a beginner at the price, though.
