Ibanez AEL108TD Acoustic-Electric Guitar, 8-String

The Ibanez AEL108TD-NT is an AEL body acoustic/electric 8-string guitar with the B and high E string doubled. This configuration produces a natural chorus effect and accentuates the ringing sound of a 12-string, while eliminating the sonic clutter of higher octave tones on the lower 4 strings. It also permits the player to easily execute clean mid/bass runs on the G, D, A and low E strings and liberates them from the occasionally cumbersome performance challenges of a traditional 12-string. While this feature is usually only found on high-end boutique instruments, the AEL108TDNT is a surprisingly affordable acoustic, inviting more players than ever to experience this unique string arrangement and the creative opportunities it affords.

The AEL108TD-NT features a Spruce top, Mahogany back & sides, and Rosewood fretboard and bridge. Electronics include a Fishman Sonicore pickup and an AEQ-SP2 preamp for complete tone control, plus an onboard tuner for quick, discreet tuning. Other features include chrome Die-Cast tuners, Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a beautiful Abalone rosette and a high gloss natural finish.

The AEL Series is the largest acoustic guitar body and is an excellent choice for players who want an expansive, natural acoustic sound. Plugged in, the AEL has Fishman electronics delivering a sweet cascade of acoustic tones, never harsh or tinny, ready for any stage.
