Born from a long lineage and musical heritage, the acoustic guitar is steeped in tradition. But music continues to evolve, and musicians demand inspiring new tools with which to carve out their own signature sound. In that spirit, we introduce Ibanez AE, our flagship series of acousticelectric guitars, offer supreme tone and playability, and represent another great chapter in the acoustic guitar tradition.

Features

• Nyatoh neck: The Nyatoh neck provides a rich midlow end.
• Ovangkol fretboard: The Ovangkol fretboard provides greater playing comfort.
• Solid Okoume top: Solid Okoume top offers a fullbodied and warm midrange and a bright tone.
• Okoume back and sides: The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or fingerpicked and provide punchy highmids with a clear projection when strummed.
• Ibanez Tbar Undersaddle pickup: The Ibanez Tbar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.
• Ibanez Custom Electronics: The compact, onboard active preamp features a mute switch to eliminate unexpected parameter changes during performances. This helps to reduce the guitar’s size and weight, minimize body contact and maximize the acoustic tone.
• Ovangkol bridge: The Ovangkol bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.
• Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins: These pins really are an advantage over oldfashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulbshaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
• Gig bag included: It comes with Ibanez gig bag which is designed specifically to fit and protect this instrument.
