Ibanez AAD371E-ATW Advanced Acoustic Antique White High Gloss

Ibanez AAD371E - Grand Dreadnought With An Independent Advanced-Acoustic Concept!

The Ibanez AAD371E from the Advanced Acoustic series pairs a solid German spruce top with a grand-dreadnought body, X-M bracing and an elaborately constructed three-piece back of flamed maple, rosewood and flamed maple. The acoustic build is enhanced by the Ibanez A.I.R.port and stage-ready electronics consisting of a T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp with integrated tuner.

Grand Dreadnought With X-M Bracing

With the Advanced Acoustic series, Ibanez reinterprets the classic dreadnought concept. The grand-dreadnought body provides the foundation for a powerful acoustic voice with wide dynamic range. The solid German spruce top works together with the specially developed X-M bracing, while sides of flamed maple and the three-piece back of flamed maple, rosewood and flamed maple define the characteristic wood combination of this model. The rosewood binding with a rounded body edge complements a build focused on ergonomics and high-quality workmanship.

Comfortable Playability Across The Scale

The three-piece neck of flamed maple and amaranth features the Ibanez Low Oval Grip profile. Combined with the rounded fretboard edge, the neck is designed for a comfortable feel. The rosewood fretboard has a 400 mm radius and specially designed inlays. With a 650 mm scale length, a 43 mm bone nut and a dovetail neck-to-body joint at the 14th fret, the AAD371E follows proven acoustic construction principles and blends them with the modern Advanced-Acoustic approach.

A.I.R.port For Direct Sound Perception

One of the standout features of the AAD series is the Ibanez A.I.R.port. Through this additional opening, part of the sound generated inside the body is directed toward the player, allowing for a more immediate perception of the instrument while playing. The scalloped rosewood bridge, a compensated bone saddle and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins complete the acoustic construction.

Ibanez T-bar And AEQ-TP2 For Amplified Use

For stage, rehearsal and recording the AAD371E is equipped with an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup. The matching Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp provides controls for volume, bass and treble plus a built-in tuner with a separate on/off switch. In addition to a 6.3 mm jack output there is a balanced XLR output, so the guitar can be flexibly connected to acoustic amps, mixers and other audio equipment.

Thoughtful Hardware And Distinctive Details

Gold-colored die-cast tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio allow for precise tuning. The factory stringing in gauges .012 to .053 is set up for standard six-string tuning E-A-D-G-B-E. Together with the generous grand-dreadnought body, the solid spruce top and the considered electronics concept, this results in a versatile electro-acoustic western guitar for dynamic strumming, nuanced picking and direct amplified use.
