Ibanez A300E Ambiance Acoustic-Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Fill the room with this beautiful Ibanez acoustic-electric arched-back guitar, complete with a Fishman Sonicore pickup, plus 1/4" and XLR preamp outputs.

Ibanez arched-back Ambiance acoustics show you how an acoustic electric guitar should be by combining a almost handmade appearance and sound at a price you can't afford to refuse. The A300E is heartily equipped with the Fishman's Sonicore pickup and the groundbreaking Aero Blend preamp providing the user with onboard tuners and balanced 1/4 inch and XLR outputs. The Aero Blend preamp utilizes phase control, a notch filter, and a built in microphone to blend with the Sonicore bridge transducer giving you a controllable, versatile tone when amplified. With a quilted maple top and sides and gold Grover die-cast tuners, the A300E is a true marvel of beauty and tone.

Ivorex II nuts are stronger and more durable than bone and even harder than the original Ivorex. Ivorex II allows brilliant highs and more pronounced lows with less mid-range which makes Ivorex II-fitted guitars perfect for amplification.
