This acoustic-electric model features a vibrant solid Sitka spruce top paired with Macassar ebony back and sides, supported by an okoume neck and a resonant purpleheart fingerboard. Equipped with an Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp and T-bar under-saddle pickup, this 6-string delivers transparent clarity when amplified. Its affiliation with the Advanced Acoustic Auditorium series ensures a range of deluxe features, including an Acoustic Information Response (A.I.R.) sound port, a comfortable low-oval neck profile, and chrome-plated 18:1 die-cast tuning machines for impeccable intonation. Whether you're a budding songwriter or a seasoned performer, the Ibanez Advanced Acoustic Auditorium series is an ideal choice.

This Advanced Acoustic Auditorium boasts a single-cut body with a solid Sitka spruce top, producing a clear, sharp, and projecting sound complemented by the deep tones of Macassar ebony back and sides. Ibanez's X-M bracing pattern enhances volume, while the ergonomic low-oval profile of the purpleheart-topped okoume neck ensures maximum sustain and comfort. With a 15.75-inch fingerboard radius, navigating the 20 nickel frets is effortless, making it perfect for folk, bluegrass, and indie musicians.

The Advanced Acoustic Auditorium series not only delivers exceptional sound and feel but also outperforms many others in its price range. Quality hardware appointments, including a purpleheart bridge with six Ibanez Advantage bridge pins and chrome-plated die-cast tuning machines, ensure precise adjustments and reliable intonation. The addition of an A.I.R. sound port, located on the side of the upper bout, enhances the player's auditory experience, providing direct monitoring for a more immersive performance. Despite these innovations, the guitar's standard circular soundhole ensures confident projection for live and studio performances alike.
