Ibanez AEG721 7-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Black OutExtended-Range Acoustic Performance with a Bold Blacked-Out Look

The Ibanez AEG721 7-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Black Out combines the comfort and versatility of Ibanez's popular AEG body with the expanded range of a seventh low-B string. Designed for players who want to move beyond the limitations of a traditional six-string acoustic, the AEG721 delivers deeper bass response, expanded chord voicings, and exciting new possibilities for solo arrangements and accompaniment.

Its spruce top provides clarity and definition, while the sapele back and sides contribute warmth, body, and a pleasing midrange response. The result is a versatile acoustic voice that maintains definition across all seven strings—even when you venture into the guitar's extended lower register.

Finished in Ibanez's dramatic Black Out treatment with black hardware, a Macassar ebony fingerboard and bridge, and black-dyed bone nut and saddle, the AEG721 has a modern stage-ready appearance to match its extended-range capabilities.

The Power of a Seventh String

The AEG721 adds a low B below the standard low E, giving guitarists an entirely new range of notes without changing the familiar tuning of the traditional six strings.

The factory tuning from the first through seventh strings is E-B-G-D-A-E-B.

That additional low B opens up exciting possibilities for deeper bass lines, fuller chord voicings, alternate arrangements, contemporary fingerstyle playing, worship music, solo acoustic performance, and other styles where an extended lower register can add depth and impact.

If you're already comfortable on a six-string guitar, the AEG721 lets you keep everything you already know while adding another dimension to your playing.

Comfortable AEG Body & 25" Scale

Extended range doesn't have to mean an uncomfortable instrument.

Ibanez designed the AEG721 around its popular AEG body, providing a comfortable playing experience whether you're sitting or standing. Its cutaway design also provides convenient access to the upper frets.

The Comfort Grip 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple neck features a comfortable Thin-C profile and is paired with a Macassar ebony fingerboard. A 25" scale length helps give the AEG721 an approachable feel, while the 50.2mm nut width provides the additional room needed for seven strings.

Fishman Electronics for Stage and Studio

The AEG721 is equipped for serious amplified performance with a Fishman S-Core pickup and Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp.

The preamp provides easy access to Volume, Bass, and Treble controls, along with an onboard tuner—an especially convenient feature when keeping seven strings performance-ready.

Ibanez also gives you both 1/4" and balanced XLR outputs, allowing the guitar to connect easily to an acoustic amplifier, PA system, mixer, audio interface, or recording setup.

Why You'll Love the Ibanez AEG721

If you've ever wished your acoustic guitar could reach just a little deeper, the Ibanez AEG721 gives you that extra range without requiring you to abandon the familiar feel and tuning of a six-string guitar.

The additional low-B seventh string can add tremendous depth to chord voicings, bass lines, fingerstyle arrangements, and accompaniment. It is especially useful for players who want a fuller acoustic sound when performing solo or in a small ensemble.

You'll also appreciate the AEG721's comfortable design. The 25" scale, Comfort Grip neck, cutaway AEG body, and Macassar ebony fingerboard make this extended-range acoustic approachable and enjoyable to play.

When it's time to plug in, the combination of a Fishman S-Core pickup, Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp, onboard tuner, and both balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs makes the AEG721 ready for the stage, church, studio, or rehearsal room.

And for players who prefer a contemporary aesthetic, the Black Out finish, black tuners, black-dyed bone nut and saddle, and dark Macassar ebony fingerboard and bridge give this guitar a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from a traditional acoustic.
