Ibanez AE140 Acoustic Electric Guitar

Filled with professional-grade features, the all-okoume Ibanez AE140 Acoustic-electric guitar is an excellent choice for the advancing guitarist seeking a high-performance instrument. The solid okoume top and body provide a warm, mahogany-like tone, enhanced by a personal A.I.R. sound port that delivers superior sonic feedback directly to your ears. For playing comfort, the laurel-topped nyatoh neck with its Comfort Grip profile is highly favored by guitarists of all styles. Additionally, the stage-ready Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp and pickup system includes built-in tone controls and an onboard tuner. A convenient cutaway completes the package, making the AE140 a powerful acoustic-electric guitar ready for the stage.

The Ibanez AE140 offers an outstanding all-okoume tone. With a solid okoume top and matching okoume back and sides, this guitar echoes the classic tradition of hardwood-topped six-strings. Okoume's warm, rich, and slightly dark tone is beloved by singer-songwriters and fingerpickers for its ability to soften high frequencies. Celebrated by tonewood experts, okoume is known for its mahogany-like midrange, crisp timbre, and clearly defined attack.

The AE140's innovative A.I.R.port enhances solo playing with superior sonic feedback. Unlike most acoustic guitars that project sound only through the soundhole, the A.I.R.port design includes a secondary soundhole on the upper bout, directing sound towards the player's ears. This feature provides a fuller and more pleasing tone in both seated and standing positions, giving players an accurate representation of what the audience hears.
