Full Description
View Full DescriptionAdvanced Auditorium Body for Superior Resonance
Drawing on the concept of Advanced Acoustics, the Ibanez AAM50CE-OPN boasts an Advanced Auditorium body shape that has been meticulously crafted to redefine acoustic performance. Extensive research and prototyping led to a slightly wider waist and a repositioning of the body towards the neck. These modifications deliver a richer low mid-range and improved body-to-weight balance, addressing the shortcomings commonly found in conventional Auditorium bodies.
X-M Bracing for Optimized Sound Projection
After years of research and experimentation, Ibanez has developed its proprietary X-M bracing system exclusively for the Advanced Auditorium body in the AAM series. The scalloped X-M bracing, combined with carefully positioned tone braces and finger braces, efficiently transmit string vibration from the bridge to the body. This results in a wide dynamic range, excellent response, and a balanced tone. The mids are slightly scooped for better tonal balance, while the treble offers the clarity of steel strings with the warmth usually associated with nylon strings.
Solid Sitka Spruce Top for Exceptional Resonance
The Ibanez AAM50CE-OPN features a solid Sitka Spruce top, renowned for its ability to produce an enormous frequency range. This tonewood delivers wave after wave of shimmering highs, along with tight mids and a full-bodied low-end response. The result is a well-balanced and versatile sound that suits a variety of playing styles and musical genres.
Sapele Back and Sides for Rich Tonal Character
The back and sides of the AAM50CE-OPN are crafted from sapele, a tonewood known for its rich and warm mid-range. This choice of material contributes to the instrument's overall brightness and full-bodied tone. Whether you're strumming chords or fingerpicking melodies, the sapele back and sides provide a lush and vibrant sonic foundation.
Low Oval Grip Okoume Neck for Comfortable Playability
The AAM50CE-OPN features a low oval grip Okoume neck, designed to facilitate easy chord strumming. This ergonomic neck shape fits comfortably in the hand, allowing for a comfortable playing experience even during long performances or recording sessions. Enjoy effortless transitions between chords and dynamic control over your playing with this well-crafted neck.
Purpleheart Fretboard and Bridge for Enhanced Tonality
Both the fretboard and bridge of the AAM50CE-OPN are constructed from Purpleheart, a tonewood known for its beautiful appearance and rich tonal character. The Purpleheart fretboard not only adds to the guitar's aesthetic allure but also enhances the overall tonality of the instrument. The Purpleheart bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone that resonates with depth and clarity.
