IBANEZ AAD54EOMH ADVANCED ACOUSTIC SERIES ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC GUITAR

Thoughtful Innovations and Advanced Acoustic Tone

Ibanez’s Advanced Acoustic guitar lineup fuses forward-thinking ideologies in guitar building with a focus on enhancing the traditional acoustic sound. Crafted from a tried-and-true tonewood combination of a mahogany top and sapele back and sides, the AAD54E projects a warm, vivacious tone from its slightly oversized dreadnought body. The X-M top bracing pattern further reinforces sonic projection while allowing the top to resonate and vibrate freely. The okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard add an intriguing touch of sonic complexity while offering comfortable playability. Fit for the studio, the stage, and everywhere in between, the AAD54E's combination of natural acoustic bliss and an AEQ-TP2 acoustic-electric system has made it many guitarists' go-to acoustic for solo sets, full-band gigs, and recording. Moreover, the innovative A.I.R.port design enables self-monitoring, as it directs the AAD54E's natural sound directly to your ears, instilling confidence in every performance. Add in 18:1 gear ratio tuners and a redesigned headstock to reinforce tuning stability, and the AAD54E stands as a formidable acoustic-electric instrument suited for any player.

Greater sonic projection, greater playability

In search of a grander projection and a more robust low end, Ibanez reimagined the traditional dreadnought from the ground up, resulting in the Grand Dreadnought. This body shape, 5% larger than a standard dreadnought, delivers rich tone, supreme volume, and that powerful low-end response that fans of dreadnought-style guitars crave. Combine this shape with Ibanez X-M bracing, and you’ll be treated to crisp treble and a warm midrange to complement the power of the body shape.

Moreover, the AAD54E has been engineered with ergonomics in mind. Subtle carvings along the edges of the body promote a relaxed picking arm and result in a more natural resting on your leg. Furthermore, the Advanced Access Cutaway provides unfettered access to your highest frets while reducing strain on your hands. The result? An immersive performance experience that allows you to get lost in the music.
