Born from a long lineage and musical heritage, the acoustic guitar is steeped in tradition. 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.

Product Features

Comfort Grip Nyatoh neck with Rounded Fretboard Edge
The Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck contour and round edges of the fingerboard provide superior playability.

Rosewood fretboard
Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Jumbo frets
Jumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.

Solid Flamed Okoume top
Solid Flamed Okoume top offers a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.

Flamed Okoume back and sides
The attractive Flamed Okoume back and sides offer punchy and rich mid-range tones.

Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup
The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.

Ibanez Custom Electronics w/Volume and Tone Control
The guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making it suitable for a variety of applications for modern players.

Rosewood Scalloped bridge
The lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance and provides more flexibility in adjusting the action than does a typical bridge.

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins
These 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.

A.I.R.port
Through intensive research and development, we have designed the A.I.R.port with a unique internal structure that reflects sound waves and guides them to exit from a precisely positioned sound hole. As a result, players can monitor what they are playing more clearly, which enhances the overall playing experience.
