About this listing
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, the flaghsip Ibanez AE series of acoustic-electric guitars offer supreme tone and playability, and represent another great chapter in the acoustic guitar tradition.Baritone guitars are tuned lower than regular acoustics - generally in B standard instead of E standard. This gives a really fun new perspective for anyone playing who hasn't tried it before. The tone is super full and warm, with a depth that is not normally experienced on an acoustic guitar. If you wish to play your standard repertoire you can simply stick a capo on the neck as the relationship between the strings is the same as normal. They really are a lot of fun and genuinely excellent tool for making music. Even singing along to one will feel different to normal. Give it a try!X-M BracingAfter spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realised the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.AE body shapeDesigned for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds.Ibanez AP11 Magnetic PickupThe newly designed AP11 pickup is small, lightweight, and positioned so it won't inhibit the natural vibrations of the top wood. The pickup generates a highly responsive sound with minimal feedback and delivers a lively response throughout the entire frequency range. The sound is transparent and reflects the guitar's natural acoustic tone while preserving presence and mid-range. The AP11 also works well with effects such as reverb, chorus, and many others.Ibanez Custom Electronics w/ Volume and Tone ControlThe guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making the AE suitable for variety of applications for modern players.Comfort Grip w/Rounded Fingerboard EdgeIn order to achieve supreme playability, the neck was specially designed with Thin-C shape style comfort grip with fingerboard's rounded edge.Jumbo FretsThe jumbo frets support easy fingering.Pau Ferro scalloped bridgeThe lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance, as well as providing more flexibility in adjusting the action than usual bridge.Pau Ferro fretboardPau Ferro produces a well-balanced tonal character from low to high end.Nyatoh neckThe Nyatoh neck provides a rich mid-low end.Okoume back and sidesThe Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.
