The AAD170CE Advanced acoustic-electric cutaway dreadnought guitar is designed from the ground up to deliver rich, bright acoustic tone with a wide dynamic range. The AAD170CE features a nyatoh neck with a low oval grip for superior playability, an ovangkol fingerboard and an okoume body that generates a warm, woody tone ideal for fingerpicking. A lightweight AP11 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 guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making it suitable for a variety of styles and genres. The Ibanez AAD170CE is slightly larger than a traditional dreadnought and is considered a grand dreadnought, constructed to achieve a superb, powerful sound without sacrificing comfort.
