Electro-acoustic Grand Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar with Solid Top and Low Gloss Finish
With the Advanced Acoustic series, the Japanese traditional manufacturer expands its acoustic guitar range with a dreadnought acoustic guitar that, due to its 5% larger construction, produces a much more powerful and warmer sound than similar models. The Ibanez AAD170CE-LGS Advanced Acoustic Low Gloss Natural features a body made of laminated okoume, which gives the tone a pleasant warmth that is perfectly complemented by the highly pronounced mid and treble frequencies of the solid Sitka spruce top. In addition, a well-designed X-M bracing provides fast sound development, as well as a rich overtone spectrum. For a great playability, the manufacturer features a flat Nyatoh neck with a fingerboard made of Ovangkol, which is equipped with an extra-grippy low-oval profile. This allows all 20 frets to be easily reached and neatly gripped in tandem with a narrow nut width of 43 mm. A tapered headstock also provides better tuning stability for the 6 steel strings, which run in a straight line over a saddle and bridge inlay made of bone, ensuring clean intonation over the entire scale length of 651 mm. The acoustic guitar is visually enhanced with a fine wooden soundhole rosette and a paper-thin low-gloss finish that allows a deep look at the fine grain of the installed woods. The Ibanez AAD170CE-LGS Advanced Acoustic Low Gloss Natural also provides a natural sound experience on stage, as the magnetic Ibanez AP11 pickup system captures all frequencies equally and passes them on to the amplifier without distortion.
The Advanced Acoustic series convinces with its voluminous sound and clean playability.
