Ibanez AE295 Acoustic Guitar in Weathered Black Open Pore

But music continues to evolve, and musicians demand inspiring new tools with which to carve out their own signature sound. In that spirit, we introduce Ibanez AE, our flagship series of acoustic-electric guitars, offer supreme tone and playability, and represent another great chapter in the acoustic guitar tradition. Features Comfort Grip Maple neck with Rounded Fretboard EdgeThe Comfort Grip Maple Neck contour and round edges of the fingerboard provide superior playability. Katalox fretboardKatalox produces a tight mid-low and a strong attack in the high end. Katalox also features a quick response and rich sustain. Jumbo fretsJumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing. Solid Okoume topSolid Okoume top offers a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone. Okoume back and sidesThe 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. Ibanez AP11 Magnetic pickupThe AP11 pickup is small, lightweight and positioned so it won’t inhibit the natural vibrations of the top wood. The pickup generates a highly responsive sound with minimal feedback and delivers a lively response throughout the entire frequency range. The sound is transparent and reflects the guitar’s natural acoustic tone while preserving presence and mid-range. The AP11 also works well with effects such as reverb, chorus and many others. Ibanez Custom Electronics w/ Volume and Tone ControlThe guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making it suitable for a variety of applications for modern players. Katalox Scalloped bridgeThe lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance, as well as providing more flexibility in adjusting the action than usual bridge. Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pinsThese pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ 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™ the pin and string stay put. X-M BracingSpending a few years with trial and error, Ibanez finally reached to out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet providing wide dynamic range and highly response. AE body shapeDesigned for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds. Comfort Grip w/Rounded Fingerboard EdgeIn order to achieve supreme playability, the neck was specially designed with Thin-C shape style comfort grip with fingerboard's rounded edge.
