With great clarity, the Ibanez AE315FMH acoustic guitar's all solid flamed Okoume body generates a dynamic frequency range from deep lows to sparkling highs. The AE body shape features contemporary design elements to achieve high playability and create a well-balanced sound that adheres to the concept of the flagship AE series. The combination of the specially designed Scalloped X Bracing and Tone Projection Back Bracing produces a versatile sound character. A rich sustain is provided, which works for both finger and plectrum playing. The fretboard inlay has a delicate but dynamic design. The wooden inlays give a sophisticated feel to the guitar.

The compact, onboard active preamp simply features a mute switch to eliminate unexpected parameter changes during performances. This helps reduce the guitar's size and weight, minimize body contact, and maximize the acoustic tone. The newly designed under-the-saddle pickup equalizes the volume from each string and delivers a well-balanced signal. The natural acoustic tone from this active circuit is remarkably stable and resists noise. It will support performances on stage, from solos to ensembles.
