Born from a long lineage and musical heritage, the acoustic guitar is steeped in tradition. But music continues to evolve, and musicians demand inspiring new tools with which to carve out their own signature sound. In that spirit, Ibanez's flagship AE series of acoustic-electric guitars offers supreme tone and playability, and represent another great chapter in the acoustic guitar tradition.

Nyatoh neck
The Nyatoh neck provides a rich mid-low end.

Ovangkol fretboard
The Ovangkol fretboard provides greater playing comfort.

Jumbo frets
Jumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.

Solid Sitka Spruce top
Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end.

Okoume back and sides
The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.

Ovangkol bridge
The Ovangkol bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup
The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.

Ibanez Custom Electronics w/Volume and Tone Control
The guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making it suitable for a variety of applications for modern players.

These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage(TM) pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage(TM) the pin and string stay put.

Scalloped X bracing
Scalloped X bracing on the top provides responsive and balanced tone.

AE body shape
Designed for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds.
