Ibanez Advanced Acoustic AAM50CE in Open Pore Natural
X-M Bracing
After spending 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.
Functional Tapered Headstock
The newly designed headstock shape is the result of thorough research and investigation. Its tapered shape provides lighter weight, as well as a straight string alignment which enhances tuning stability and reduces any neck twisting effect
Features:
-Low Oval Grip Okoume neck
-The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this bass.
-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.
-Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.
-The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.

-Convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner and 2-band EQ, located on the instrument’s upper bout.
