Ibanez AAM50 Advanced Acoustic Guitar

Ibanez AAM50 Advanced Acoustic Guitar – Open Pore Natural

Part of the forward-thinking Advanced Acoustic series, the Ibanez AAM50 is designed from the ground up to "reimagine the acoustic experience." By combining modern body architecture with innovative ergonomic and acoustic features, this guitar delivers a powerful, balanced voice with an exceptionally wide dynamic range—making it a stellar tool for both stage and studio applications.

Key Features & Innovations:

• Advanced Auditorium Body Shape: Drawing from extensive research of traditional auditorium shapes, this body features a slightly wider waist that has been moved closer to the neck. This critical design change improves overall body-to-weight balance and delivers much richer low-mids that conventional auditorium shapes often lack.
• The A.I.R.port Structure: This unique internal sound port reflects and guides internal sound waves to exit from a precisely positioned acoustic window on the upper bout. This allows you to monitor your own playing with unmatched clarity, creating a much more immersive and direct player experience.
• Solid Sitka Spruce Top: A premium solid soundboard provides an expansive frequency response, offering wave after wave of shimmering highs, focused mid-range clarity, and a full-bodied, robust low end.
• Sapele Back & Sides: Complementing the solid spruce top, the sapele back and sides provide a bright, articulate chime mixed with a warm, full-bodied midrange.
• Proprietary X-M Bracing (AAM Series): Developed over two years of intensive prototyping, the scalloped X-M bracing layout, tone braces, and finger braces transmit string vibrations with maximum efficiency. This layout scoops the mids slightly for a perfectly balanced mix, keeping the treble crisp while maintaining a nylon-like warmth.
• Low Oval Grip Okoume Neck & Rounded Edges: The ultra-comfortable Low Oval neck profile facilitates easy chord strumming, while the rounded body edge binding ensures a smooth feel against your forearm for long playing sessions.
• Functional Tapered Headstock: The carefully researched tapered headstock reduces overall neck weight, provides perfectly straight string alignment to enhance tuning stability, and minimizes neck-twisting effects over time.
• Purpleheart Fretboard & Bridge: The dense purpleheart construction adds a beautiful aesthetic flair while transferring string vibration directly into the body for enhanced natural resonance.
• Ibanez Advantage™ Bridge Pins: Replacing strings has never been easier. The bulb-shaped ends make these pins easy to grip, prevent them from being pushed in too far, and anchor the string securely so it stays put while tuning up.
