About This Product!
Description
Docs
The AEF1812 12-string acoustic-electric features the AEQ-SS Shape Shifter EQ and the Fishman Soncicore pickup, which work together to give your audience the most clear and real guitar sound possible, fresh from the strings to their ears. The Shape Shifter is also one of most unobtrusive EQ's available. It gives you more volume, with less distortion than other EQ's. The Shape Shifter also eliminates feedback with a phase reversal switch.Battery changing is easy with a separate battery compartment, and the low battery light gives you plenty of warning when your battery power is low, which won't happen often, due to circuitry that promotes long battery life.
The AEF1812 also features Ivorex Saddle. Ivorex responds faster, and produces much more clear tones, with stronger highs and lows. Ivorex is also much stronger than bone so it lasts longer. These tonal and quality improvements make Ivorex fitted guitars especially suited for amplification.

Ibanez AEF1812 12-String Acoustic Electric Guitar with Cutaway (Natural) Reviews
10 out of 10
"Taylor sound for an Ibanez price!"
Feature:
nice size, great feel. Ibanez, for whatever reason only puts 1 strap peg on their guitars, so I've had to add the other on both of my guitars. It's too early to rate their long term durability, but they look great, and play great. The choice of Elixir strings, at least in my opinion is great. No squeak at all, and a crisp new sound all the time.
Quality:
Cosmetically, they're beautiful, fit and finish are great. Long term, I can't say since I've only recently purchased mine.
Value:
try them head to head with guitars with similar features, at twice the price, and judge for yourself. I'm fortunate to have two very large music stores to be able to compare several brands head to head, before I made my decision.
Desirability:
There's not a lot to choose from in the acoustic/electric 12 string market, but I've played Taylors, and Ovations, and honestly, they don't sound any better, and they play about the same. I can't justify the $1500 dollar and up price for one of theirs, when Ibanez offers the same quality for under $500.
Sound:
extremely easy to play. I've owned an ovation 12 string for over 20 years, and the Ibanez is so much easier to play. I've played some of the newer Ovations, and while they too are easier to play than my old one, they cost more than twice as much as the Ibanez, and don't sound any better, nor do they paly any easier.
Overall:
I can't say anything negative. I wasn't looking to buy Ibanez when I started looking, but after playing them, and comparing prices, they round pretty good against the higher priced brands. I hope they're as durable as they are beautiful.

"Great sound, looks great, easy playing, good value"
Feature:
Single cut away allows simulating mandolin - like at the ending of Maggie Mae. Powered pre-amp & 3 channel equalizer allows volume control and some shaping of the sound.
Quality:
Absolutely no complaints.
Value:
I worked in a music store in the 60's - today's prices are amazing by comparison considering inflation.
Desirability:
Beautiful curved back - mahogony grain. Unusual inlay around sound hole.
Sound:
Great in acoustic or amplified use.
Support:
No contact
Overall:
I do not expect to ever have to replace it. The more I play it, the better it gets.
