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.
The Low Oval neck grip facilitates easy chord strumming and the Rounded Fretboard Edges deliver superior playability. Thermo Aging, a special drying process, makes the neck light and hard and provides excellent stability and enhanced resonance.
Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.
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 offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.
The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.
The Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ along with a convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner and 2-band EQ, located on the instrument’s upper bout.
The lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance and provides more flexibility in adjusting the action than does a typical bridge.
These 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.
Through intensive research and development, we have designed the A.I.R.port with a unique internal structure that reflects sound waves and guides them to exit from a precisely positioned sound hole. As a result, players can monitor what they are playing more clearly, which enhances the overall playing experience.
With the concept of Advanced Acoustics ''Reimagining Acoustic Experience'' in mind, we carefully designed the new body shape of the Advanced Auditorium, drawing on our 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
