A sublime tonewood duo

Crafted with okoume, the back and sides of this guitar's body offer tonal qualities that are much like that of mahogany. With its accentuation of midrange frequencies, it produces a wonderfully even tone that begs the addition of sparkling overtones. Resonant and rich, the sound is enough to make for a truly immersive listening experience and an even more divine playing experience. Better still, it is comfortably lightweight, meaning you'll never get tired of carrying such a stunning instrument on stage. Play and play, your audience will love you for it.

Paired with the sublime okoume back and sides is a perfectly matched spruce top. It delivers a pristine sound that is laced with brightness and crisp articulation, teaming superbly with its body tonewood companion. Such a broad dynamic range lends itself to many different playing styles and means your music will always sound full and beautifully defined. From swooping lows to shimmering trebles, these two versatile tonewoods promise an unforgettable performance.

Prepare for flawless fretting

One of the ultimate deciders of playability is the guitar neck. After all, you want something that allows you to slide across the frets with comfort and speed. Built from nyatoh, the neck of the Ibanez AEG5012 is silky-smooth, guaranteeing a flawless performance. Its warm tone is a must for that raw acoustic feel and its sturdy construction ensures it will last you for years to come. Mounted onto such a wondrous neck is a fretboard crafted from laurel, a wood that brings amazing tonal and practical capabilities. Similar to rosewood, it softens any harsh frequencies, resulting in a balanced tone that makes the sparkling characteristics of the spruce and 12 strings shine even more. It begs any type of fretting technique - such a soft finish won't slow you down.

The wonders of 12 strings

12 strings… what an enticing feature, and what possibilities they bring. With glistening harmonies, rich textures, and sharp clarity, your music will be completely mesmerising to anyone who listens. They bring a gorgeous fullness of sound, perfect for larger venues where your music needs to be projected further and wider.

Dynamic sound projection

The beauty of the Ibanez AEG5012 lies in its astounding versatility. Take with you anywhere and deliver a captivating performance. Its warm tone is ideal for smaller, more intimate settings, and its T-bar II undersaddle pickup makes it suitable for more expansive environments. The pickup responds beautifully to the natural, acoustic tonal qualities. So, the stunning, authentic sound you have invested in is never tainted when amplified. Equipped with an Ibanez AEQ-TTS preamp, this guitar also allows for your unique tailoring. Create a sound that is well and truly yours, the Ibanez AEG5012 has been designed for exquisite tone.
