Description
‘The Advanced Acoustic series represents a significant step forward in the long and storied tradition of the acoustic guitar. Designed from the ground up to deliver a richer and brighter, tone with an unprecedentedly wide dynamic range, these instruments offer a fully reimagined acoustic experience. The reinvented design achieves a superb, powerful sound, and thanks to the extensive consideration given to ergonomics, these instruments are extremely comfortable to play. The Advanced Acoustic series pushes the acoustic guitar to new heights, promising an exciting new experience for all players.
With the AAD50CE, 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 low end response. It’s also extremely comfortable to play thanks to the extensive consideration given to its ergonomics. Its deep straight cutaway (from 18th fret) and shaved side enable amazing high fret access. The Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ along with a convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner and 2-band EQ, located on the instrument’s upper bout, and the Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.’ – Ibanez
