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, which enhances the overall playing experience.

Thermo Aged™ Ovangkol fretboard
Thermo Aged™, a special drying process, makes the Ovangkol fretboard light and harder and provides increased stability.

Solid Sitka Spruce top
Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end.

Flamed Maple back and sides
Flamed Maple back and sides create an attractive visual profile and offer bright and tight tones.

Thermo Aged™ Ovangkol Scalloped bridge
The lightweight, scalloped bridge enhances vibration transfer for improved resonance and offers greater flexibility when adjusting the action compared to a traditional bridge. Thermo Aged™, a specialized drying process, makes the bridge even lighter and harder for increased stability.

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.

AE body shape
Designed for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds.

Comfort Grip Nyatoh neck
The Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck contour provides superior playability.

Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup
The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.

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.
