The Ibanez AAD50CE is a stellar cutaway dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar with loads of stage- and studio-ready appointments. Teeming with toneful projection, the AAD50CE's solid Sitka spruce top yields a commanding tone that's accented perfectly by its balanced-sounding sapele back and sides. You also get X-M bracing for added clarity, crispness, and warmth, plus AEQ-TP2 electronics for top-notch plugged-in tone. You'll appreciate the easy playability of the AAD50CE's okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard, and its chrome die-cast 18:1-gear-ratio tuners ensure rock-solid intonation that you can count on. For a reliable acoustic-electric guitar that won't drain your wallet, look no further than the Ibanez AAD50CE.

X-M Bracing

After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.

Advanced Access Cutaway

Its deep straight cutaway (from 18th fret) and shaved side enable amazing high fret access.

Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp w/Onboard tuner

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.
