The Ibanez Advanced Acoustic guitar is designed with the concept of "Reimagining Acoustic Experience" in mind, delivering superior playability and a wide dynamic tonal range for both stage and studio. It features a proprietary Advanced Auditorium body shape combined with X-M Bracing and the innovative A.I.R.port for an unparalleled monitoring and tonal performance.

Core Innovations

• A.I.R.port: A unique sound reflection system that guides sound waves towards the player, allowing you to monitor your performance more clearly.
  
• X-M Bracing: Proprietary scalloped bracing designed to efficiently transmit string vibration, providing a wide dynamic range, enhanced response, and balanced tone (scooped mids, clear treble, warm bass).
  
• Advanced Auditorium Body: Slightly wider waist moved toward the neck for richer low-mids and improved body-to-weight balance compared to conventional Auditorium shapes.
  

Acoustic Tone Foundation

• Solid Sitka Spruce Top: Offers an enormous frequency range with shimmering highs, tight mids, and a full-bodied low end, perfect for various styles.
  
• Rosewood Back & Sides: Provides a well-balanced, solid tone with a focused midrange, known for its rich overtones and sustain.
  

Neck Feel & Ergonomics

• Low Oval Grip Thermo Aged™ African Mahogany Neck: The comfortable neck grip and Rounded Fretboard Edges deliver superior playability. The special Thermo Aging process makes the wood lighter, harder, and more resonant.
  
• Macassar Ebony Fretboard: Produces tight lows and mids, strong attack in the highs, and quick response with rich sustain.
  
• Advanced Access Cutaway: A deep, shaved cutaway starting at the 18th fret ensures unhindered access to the highest frets.
  
• Luminlay Side Dots: Glow-in-the-dark position markers make it easy to see your fretboard position even on the darkest stages.
  

Ibanez Custom Dual Pickup System

• Pickups: Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle & Contact Pickup.
• Preamp: Ibanez Custom Electronics with dedicated Undersaddle Pickup Volume and Contact Pickup Volume controls.
  
• Versatility: The Custom Electronics allow you to blend the signals of the two pickups across the entire tonal spectrum, creating unique and natural amplified tones suited to any playing style or genre.
• Output: Features Dual Outputs (Mono Out / Stereo Out) for flexible connection options to mixing boards or acoustic amps.

Reliable Hardware

• Bridge: Lightweight Macassar Ebony Scalloped Bridge enhances vibration efficiency for better resonance.
  
• Tuning: Chrome Die-cast tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio provide precise and stable tuning.
  
• Ibanez Advantage™ Bridge Pins: Easier to insert and remove than standard pins, ensuring the pin and string stay securely in place.
