Ibanez AE140-WKH, Weathered Black Open Pore Top, Open Pore Natural Back and Sides Overview
Born from a long lineage and musical heritage, the acoustic guitar is steeped in tradition. However, as music continues to evolve, musicians demand inspiring new tools with which to carve out their own signature sound. In that spirit, we introduce the Ibanez AE, our flagship series of acoustic-electric guitars, offering supreme tone and playability, representing another great chapter in the acoustic guitar tradition.
Product Features:
Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck: The Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck contour provides superior playability.
Laurel Fretboard: The Laurel fretboard provides a rich and warm tone.
Solid Okoume Top: The Solid Okoume top offers a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.
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 clear projection when strummed.
Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle Pickup: The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates the full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.
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.
Laurel Scalloped Bridge: The lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance and provides more flexibility in adjusting the action than a usual bridge.
Ibanez Advantage™ Bridge Pins: These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
Special Features:
A.I.R.port: Through intensive research and development, we have 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.
X-M Bracing: After 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.
AE Body Shape: Designed for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE’s perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds…
