Story behind Advanced Acoustic Series | Ibanez AAD


Pro-sonic structuring





This Advanced Acoustic Auditorium features a solid Sitka spruce top for a clear, sharp, and forward sound accompanied by the vibrant nature of its flame maple back and sides. Ibanez’s projective X-M bracing pattern adds plentiful volume. Meanwhile, with its ergonomic low-oval profile, the maple-on-maple neck and fingerboard combo is engineered for vivid playability and an incredibly comfortable grip in hand. Its 15.75-inch fingerboard radius offers a remarkably flat playing surface for easy bends and roaming of the 20 nickel frets with effortless precision. Indeed, folk, bluegrass, and indie artists will feel right at home with the Advanced Acoustic Auditorium at their fingertips.

Wield with confidence





Not only does Ibanez’s Advanced Acoustic Auditorium series deliver the exceptional sound and feel you require, but it plays better than most examples in its price range. To thank for such stellar dependability and natural-sounding responsiveness are a handful of quality hardware appointments, starting with a maple bridge that houses six steadfast Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. Anchoring things down on the other end of the guitar, Ibanez has enlisted a set of chrome-plated die-cast tuning machines with an impressive 18:1 gear ratio for making adjustments with the utmost precision while holding its intonation for long periods of play. Take to the stage, press record, or simply strum around the house without a worry!





Immersive A.I.R. sound port





Playing acoustic guitar has always meant a bit of sacrifice in terms of what the artist gets to hear due to the traditional direction of the soundhole. But that’s not the case here. An A.I.R. sound port, located on the side of the guitar at the upper bout, has been integrated into each Ibanez Advanced Acoustic Auditorium series instrument, prioritizing the auditory experience of the player. Superb for songwriting and vocalizing, this structural tactic provides direct monitoring for the guitarist for a more immersive experience with the music. But don’t worry, the Advanced Acoustic Auditorium’s standard circular soundhole in the top still projects confidently for those small stage and miked performances.
