Ibanez AASD50LG advanced acoustic series dreadnought guitar

Grand Dreadnought body

Through a rigorous R&D process spanning several years, Ibanez has reimagined the Dreadnought from the ground up, pursuing the height of rich sound, robust low end, and rich tone. This brand new body shape is called the Grand Dreadnought.

This one is a really nice guitar, it has a straight neck, low action and a big, rich tone.  All notes play normally.  It is a refurbished b-stock guitar, so it has been stamped "Used" on the back of the headstock to prevent false warranty claims.  It has a small finish flaw on the headstock, treble side, a light spot that isn't off putting, but is visible.  If you like acoustic guitar with a big, but even sound with strong bass that are easy to play, then this might just be your match.  

Proportionally, the Grand Dreadnought body is 5% larger than a standard dreadnought, allowing for more volume, richer tone, and more powerful low end response. It's also extremely comfortable to play thanks to the extensive consideration given to its ergonomics.

After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized 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.

Functional Tapered Headstock

The newly designed headstock shape is the result of thorough research and investigation. Its tapered shape provides lighter weight, as well as a straight string alignment which enhances tuning stability and reduces any neck twisting effect.
