Ibanez AAD50CE-LG

The Advanced Acoustic series represents an important step forward in the long and storied tradition of the acoustic guitar. In what amounts to a fully reimagined acoustic experience, these instruments were designed from the ground up to deliver a richer, brighter, and louder tone, with an unprecedentedly wide dynamic range. With slightly larger than typical proportions, we decided to name this new body shape the "Grand Dreadnought." This reinvented design achieves a superb, powerful sound, and thanks to the extensive consideration given to the ergonomics, it's extremely comfortable to play. The Advanced Acoustic series pushes the acoustic guitar to new heights, in a way that promises an exciting new experience for all players. * Okoume neck: The Okoume neck provides greater playing comfort. * Purpleheart fretboard: The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this bass. * Solid Sitka Spruce top: Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end. * Sapele back and sides: Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone. * Purpleheart bridge: The Purpleheart bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone. * Ibanez Advantage(TM) bridge pins: These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage(TM) 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(TM) the pin and string stay put.
