The AEG51 is an AEG Series acoustic/electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in late 2022 and was produced in China.

The AEG51 features a thinner grand concert-shaped body with a soft Venetian cutaway. The top is laminated spruce with black and white binding on okoume back and sides with a high gloss finish. The round soundhole has an abalone rosette. It has a satin-finish Nyatoh neck with a 25" scale, and a 20-fret laurel fingerboard with white dot position markers. Components include a plastic saddle in a laurel bridge, Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut, and chrome Ibanez die-cast tuning machines. Electronics consist of an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup connected to an Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with an onboard tuner and LCD display powered by a 9V battery and balanced XLR and ¼" stereo outputs.

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.

Spruce top

Spruce remains the most popular wood for acoustic guitar tops, mainly due to its pristine tonal clarity.

Laurel bridge

The Laurel bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

Laurel fretboard

The Laurel fretboard provides a rich and warm tone.

Comfort Grip Nyatoh neck

The Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck contour provides superior playability.

Okoume back and sides

The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.
