Ibanez AAM370M1CETPA Acoustic Electric Guitar Transparent Panda High Gloss Finish

The Advanced Acoustic series represents a significant step forward in the long and storied tradition of the acoustic guitar. Designed from the ground up to deliver a richer and brighter, tone with an unprecedentedly wide dynamic range, these instruments offer a fully reimagined acoustic experience. The reinvented design achieves a superb, powerful sound, and thanks to the extensive consideration given to ergonomics, these instruments are extremely comfortable to play. The Advanced Acoustic series pushes the acoustic guitar to new heights, promising an exciting new experience for all players. With the concept of Advanced Acoustics - "Reimagining Acoustic Experience" in mind, Ibanez carefully designed the new body shape of the Advanced Auditorium, drawing on Ibanez's research into the general Auditorium body shape. After many rounds of prototyping, the Advanced Auditorium body has a slightly wider waist, which has been moved slightly towards the neck. Thanks to these changes, this shape delivers a richer low mids and better body to weight balance, which conventional Auditorium bodies tend to lack. After more than two years of trial and error, research, and prototyping, Ibanez developed its proprietary X-M bracing specifically for Advanced Auditorium guitar bodies to produce the ultimate sound for the stage and studio. The carefully designed scalloped X-M bracing, tone braces, and finger braces efficiently transmit string vibration from the bridge to the body. This bracing provides a wide dynamic range and excellent response. The mids are slightly scooped for better tonal balance, and the treble has the clarity of steel strings while retaining the warmth of nylon strings. The 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. The guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making the AE suitable for variety of applications for modern players. Ibanez Advantage bridge 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.
