Ibanez AAM300CE-NT

Advanced Auditorium To this end, we set out to create something entirely new, a series of instruments imbued with old-world, hand-built and rare qualities. Utilizing the highest quality woods and crafted with uncompromising attention to detail, these instruments represent the pinnacle of Ibanez acoustic guitar design and tone. The body shape is created to achieve high playability combined with a well-balanced and resonant sound that settles. Equally at home in the studio or on stage, whether playing solo guitar or in an ensemble. A specially designed X-M bracing gives a wide sound and good projection (how the instrument throws the sound). A rich and long sustain that works well for both picking and fingerstyle playing. AAM300CE features our new A.I.R. Port construction. Acoustic - Information - Response The A.I.R. Port is for better listening for the guitarist. Holes in the sides facing you. It's a great feature. A clear trend among acoustic guitars, but no major brand offers it at an affordable price range. Plus, what the others have, is basically just a hole drilled on the body. Ibanez felt that there had to be some better way for better entrainment.. After trying many different sizes and types of holes and designs, they decided on the perfect sound port design, placing angled wooden blocks that throw the sound out of the port. They also decided to apply it to a wide range of models. The body has solid Sitka Spruce top with Rosewood sides and back. .... Putting electronics, preamps and microphones into acoustic instruments is always a compromise with the acoustic sound of the instrument. On the AAM model this compromise has been minimized by using a very compact active preamp, to affect the acoustic sound as little as possible. The guitar retains its acoustic sound while having a stable, rich, natural and distortion-free plugged-in sound. - Advanced Audiotorium w/Advanced Access Cutaway Body. - Solid Sitka Spruce top. - African Mahogany back & sides. - X-M bracing - Thermo-Aged African Mahogany neck. - Low Oval Grip with Rounded Fretboard Edge - Rosewood fretboard & bridge. - 43mm width nut. - Abalone & Wooden rosette w/Soundhole binding. - Rounded body edge binding. - Bone nut & Compensated Bone saddle. - Chrome Die-Cast machine-heads (18:1 gear ratio). - Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. - Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup. - Ibanez Custom Electronics w/Volume & Tone control. - D'Addario XTAPB1253 strings. - A.I.R. port.
