Ibanez AAM50CE-OPN Advanced Acoustic 6-String Auditorium Guitar in Open Pore Natural!

The Advanced Acoustic series marks a significant leap forward in the long and storied tradition of the acoustic guitar. These instruments were designed from the ground up to deliver a richer and brighter tone with an unprecedentedly wide dynamic range, offering a completely new acoustic experience. The innovative design ensures outstanding, powerful sound, and thanks to comprehensive ergonomic considerations, these instruments are extremely comfortable to play. The Advanced Acoustic series takes the acoustic guitar to new heights and promises an exciting new experience for all players.

A.I.R.port

Through intensive research and development, the A.I.R.port features a unique internal structure that reflects sound waves and directs them out through a precisely positioned sound hole. This allows players to hear what they play more clearly, enhancing the overall playing experience.

Advanced Auditorium Body

With the concept of Advanced Acoustics – "Reimagining Acoustic Experience" in mind, the new body shape of the Advanced Auditorium was carefully designed, based on research into the general auditorium body shape. After many rounds of prototyping, the Advanced Auditorium body features a slightly wider waist, shifted slightly toward the neck. Thanks to these changes, this shape delivers richer low mids and a better balance between body and weight, which is often lacking in conventional auditorium guitars.

X-M Bracing of the AAM Series

After more than two years of trial and error, research, and prototyping, Ibanez developed the proprietary X-M bracing specifically for Advanced Auditorium guitars to produce the ultimate sound for stage and studio. The carefully designed scalloped X-M bracing, tone braces, and finger braces efficiently transfer string vibrations from the bridge to the body. These braces provide a wide dynamic range and excellent response. The mids are slightly scooped for better tonal balance, and the highs have the clarity of steel strings while retaining the warmth of nylon strings.
