Ibanez AAD50CE-LBS Electro Acoustic Guitar In Light Brown Sunburst Low Gloss

Beauty and function in an affordable package. That’s the Ibanez AAD50CE-LBS electro acoustic guitar for you! This exquisite ‘Grand Dreadnought’ instrument is designed to not only deliver big and bold tones acoustically, but plugged in too — via its discrete undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp. This means that you can easily plug into a dedicated acoustic amp, PA system, or audio interface for hassle-free live performances and recording sessions.

Key Features

• Grand Dreadnought Body — Through a rigorous R&D process spanning several years, Ibanez has reimagined the dreadnought from the ground up, pursuing the height of rich sound, robust low end, and rich tone. This brand new body shape is called the ‘Grand Dreadnought’. Proportionally, the Grand Dreadnought body is 5% larger than a standard dreadnought, allowing for more volume, richer tone, and more powerful bass response.
• X-M Bracing — After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the 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.
• Advanced Access Cutaway — Its deep straight cutaway (from 18th fret) and shaved side enable amazing higher-fret access.
• 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.
• Sapele Back & Sides — Offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range with vibrant highs.
• Functional Tapered Headstock — Provides lighter weight, as well as a straight string alignment which enhances tuning stability and reduces any neck twisting effect.
• Ibanez T-Bar Undersaddle Pickup — Accurately translates that full and organic acoustic sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.
• Ibanez AEQ-TP2 Preamp with Onboard Tuner — Delivers the extra punch of onboard EQ along with a convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner, located on the instrument’s upper bout.
• Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins — Easier to take out and simpler 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.
