IBANEZ AAM70CE-TBN EL. ACOUSTIC GUITAR

Enhanced sound projection

The A.I.R.port technology in this guitar marks a significant advancement in acoustic guitar design. By manipulating the internal structure to reflect sound waves and channel them through a strategically placed sound hole, players experience a level of clarity in their monitoring unmatched by traditional designs. This innovation is particularly beneficial for artists who need to hear their music accurately during live performances or recording sessions, providing a clear, immersive acoustic experience.

Advanced body shape

Breaking away from conventional designs, the Advanced Auditorium Body on this guitar offers a unique balance of aesthetics and acoustics. The slightly wider waist and repositioned shape result in richer low mid frequencies and improved body-to-weight balance. This design caters to musicians who desire a more resonant and full-bodied sound, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques.

Dynamic X-M bracing

Developed specifically for the Advanced Auditorium body, the X-M bracing system is a testament to Ibanez’s commitment to acoustic excellence. This bracing pattern, a result of extensive research and development, enhances the guitar’s ability to transmit string vibrations across the body, resulting in a wide dynamic range and responsive sound. The scooped mids and clear treble tones further enhance the guitar’s tonal balance, making it suitable for both stage and studio use.

Exquisite materials and craftsmanship

From its Solid Sitka Spruce top delivering shimmering highs to the exotic appearance and tonal depth of Macassar Ebony back and sides, this guitar is a showcase of premium materials and craftsmanship. The combination of these woods not only provides a broad frequency range but also adds to the guitar’s visual appeal. The Low Oval Grip Okoume neck and Purpleheart fretboard and bridge further contribute to its playability and tonal richness, making this guitar a delight for both the eyes and ears.
