But music continues to evolve, and musicians demand inspiring new tools with which to carve out their own signature sound. In that spirit, Ibanez introduces AE, their flagship series of acoustic-electric guitars, offer supreme tone and playability, and represent another great chapter in the acoustic guitar tradition.Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck with Rounded Fretboard EdgeThe Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck contour and rounded edges provide superior playability.Rosewood FretboardRosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused midrange.Jumbo FretsJumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle PickupThe Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.Ibanez Custom Electronics with Volume and Tone ControlThe 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 BridgeThe lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance, as well as providing more flexibility in adjusting the action than usual bridge.Ibanez Advantage Bridge PinsThese 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.X-M BracingAfter spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.AE Body ShapeDesigned for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds.Comfort Grip with Rounded Fingerboard EdgeIn order to achieve supreme playability, the neck was specially designed with Thin-C shape style comfort grip with fingerboard's rounded edge.
