The Ibanez AAM50-OPN Acoustic Guitar in Open Pore Natural finish is a proud member of the Advanced Acoustic series, a line that represents a significant leap forward in the long and storied tradition of the acoustic guitar. This series has been designed from the ground up to deliver a richer, brighter tone with an unprecedentedly wide dynamic range, offering a fully reimagined acoustic experience.

The AAM50-OPN is not just a guitar, it’s a reinvention of the acoustic experience. The design achieves a superb, powerful sound, and thanks to the extensive consideration given to ergonomics, this instrument is extremely comfortable to play. The Advanced Acoustic series pushes the acoustic guitar to new heights, promising an exciting new experience for all players.

A.I.R.port

One of the standout features of the AAM50-OPN is the A.I.R.port. Through intensive research and development, Ibanez has 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, enhancing the overall playing experience.

Advanced Auditorium Body

The AAM50-OPN features an Advanced Auditorium body. With the concept of “Reimagining Acoustic Experience” in mind, Ibanez carefully designed this new body shape, drawing on 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 richer low mids and better body to weight balance, which conventional Auditorium bodies tend to lack.

X-M bracing for AAM series

Finally, the AAM50-OPN features Ibanez’s proprietary X-M bracing, developed 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.
