Story behind Advanced Acoustic Series | Ibanez AAD


What's grander than a dreadnought?





In search of a grander projection and a more robust low end, Ibanez reimagined the dreadnought from the ground up, landing on the shape of the grand dreadnought. This body shape, five percent larger than a standard dreadnought, delivers rich tone, supreme volume, and that powerful low end response they were seeking. Combine this shape with Ibanez X-M bracing and you’ll be treated to crisp treble and a warm midrange to compliment the power of the body shape. The AAD190CE takes it further by adding warm, woody okoume to the top, back, and sides, which ensures a lovely sound whether you're fingerpicking or playing lush chord structures. Lastly, the AAD190CE offers a Low Oval Grip Thermo Aged nyatoh neck with rounded fretboard edges that deliver superior playability.

Electronics to keep you plugged in





When its time to change gears the AAD190CE can shift right along with you, thanks to its Ibanez Custom Electronics that offer volume and tone control for plugged-in sessions. The highly responsive Ibanez AP11 magnetic pickup won’t color your sound with unwanted tones; instead, it delivers plugged-in sound that exhibits the natural acoustic tones of your guitar without inhibiting the spruce top’s resonance. Sweetwater tip: try using this electronics system with reverb or chorus pedals!
