Ibanez AAM380CE Advanced Acoustic Guitar Natural Gloss

The AAM380CE delivers a comfortable, responsive playing experience through its Advanced Auditorium body with Advanced Access Cutaway and ergonomic Thermo Aged™ African Mahogany neck shaped with a low oval grip and rounded fretboard edge. The Natural Gloss finish highlights premium tonewoods while the cutaway design provides excellent access to higher frets without sacrificing body resonance. This is a serious instrument engineered for both studio recording and stage performance.

Tone & Electronics

Solid Sitka Spruce top paired with rosewood back and sides produces a bright, balanced tone with rich projection that opens up over time. The integrated Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle and Contact pickups work through dual volume controls and dual outputs (mono or stereo), allowing you to blend pickup sources and adapt quickly between acoustic and amplified settings with a single 9V battery powering the system.

Playability & Build

Macassar ebony fingerboard and bridge ensure clear articulation and excellent sustain, while the 20-fret configuration with small maple dot position markers and Luminlay side dots supports precise navigation in any lighting. Hardware includes a compensated bone saddle, scalloped bridge design for superior intonation, black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, bone nut, and chrome die-cast tuning machines with 18:1 gear ratio for stable tuning stability.
