Low Oval Neck
Designed with the guitarist's comfort in mind, the AAM380CE features Ibanez's ergonomically contoured Low Oval neck profile with a Macassar ebony fingerboard. The slimmed-down grip width of the African mahogany neck and smoothly rounded fingerboard edges facilitate easy, fatigue-free chord changes and single-note runs alike. A smooth satin finish enhances the neck's speedy feel, while the Thermo Aged treatment ensures lasting stability and resonant sustain.

Scalloped Bridge Design With Advantage Pins
The AAM380CE's scalloped Macassar ebony bridge lends even more resonance to your guitar, in addition to the benefit of adding more flexibility to adjusting your action than the conventional bridge. Thanks to Ibanez's clever Advantage bridge pins, changing strings on the AAM380CE is frustration-free. A bulbous end provides an easy grip so pins slide in and out of the bridge smoothly. The pins also seat firmly in the bridge to maintain proper string height and intonation over time. With its intuitive bridge design, you can swap out strings confidently in quickly.

Dual-Pickup System
To complement its rich acoustic voice, the AAM380CE incorporates a dual-pickup system for amplifying your sound with incredible realism. The undersaddle pickup captures the top's vibrant complexity, while the soundhole-mounted contact pickup adds percussive attack and string articulation. Onboard volume controls let you dial in the perfect blend. Thanks to its excellent dynamics and sensitivity, the AAM380CE pickup system preserves the nuances of your playing technique through your amp. Added effects in your signal chain like reverb and chorus sound lush and immersive. Plug in the AAM380CE and your acoustic tone will shine even in loud band scenarios.
