Ibanez Advanced Acoustic AAD50CE Acoustic Electric Guitar, Transparent Charcoal

Over the years, the acoustic guitar has evolved, and the Advanced Acoustic Series AAD50CE Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar, Transparent Charcoal Burst Low Gloss, is a testament to this evolution. This instrument, steeped in a rich history, has been meticulously designed from scratch to offer a more vibrant, louder, and richer tone, with an unparalleled dynamic range. The "Grand Dreadnought," as we've named this new body shape, is slightly larger than the typical proportions, producing a powerful, superior sound. The thoughtfully considered ergonomics make it a delight to play, pushing the boundaries of what an acoustic guitar can achieve. The Okoume neck enhances the playing comfort, while the Purpleheart fretboard accentuates the guitar's aesthetic appeal and its rich tonal character. The solid Sitka Spruce top contributes to an expansive frequency range, offering shimmering highs, tight mids, and a full-bodied low end. The Sapele back and sides contribute to a warm mid-range and a bright tone. The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup ensures that this full sound is accurately translated to any amplification system, while the Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with an onboard tuner and 2-band EQ provides additional punch and convenience. The Purpleheart bridge facilitates direct string vibration transfer to the body, producing a natural and warm tone. The Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, with their unique bulb-shaped end, are easy to grip and prevent over-pushing, ensuring the pin and string stay in place. The Grand Dreadnought body, a result of rigorous R&D, offers more volume, a richer tone, and a more powerful low end response. The X-M Bracing, a product of years of trial and error, ensures a clear bottom and crispy treble sound with a warm mid-range, providing a wide dynamic range and high response. The newly designed tapered headstock shape offers lighter weight and straight string alignment, enhancing tuning stability and reducing neck twisting. The deep straight cutaway from the 18th fret and shaved side enable amazing high fret access. In essence, the Advanced Acoustic Series AAD50CE Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar, Transparent Charcoal Burst Low Gloss, is a reimagined acoustic experience, setting new standards for acoustic guitars.
