The Ibanez Advanced Auditorium Acoustic Guitar is a 6-string acoustic guitar.Low Oval Grip Okoume NeckThe guitar features an Okoume neck with a low oval grip.Purpleheart FretboardThe Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this guitar.Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle PickupThe Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.Ibanez AEQ-TP2 Preamp with Onboard TunerThe 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.Purpleheart BridgeThe Purpleheart bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.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.Functional Tapered HeadstockThe newly designed headstock shape is the result of thorough research and investigation. Its tapered shape provides lighter weight, as well as a straight string alignment which enhances tuning stability and reduces any neck twisting effect.Advanced Access CutawayIts deep straight cutaway (from 18th fret) and shaved side enable amazing high fret access.
