Ibanez AAM300CE Features:
- A.I.R. port: Through rigorous research and development, Ibanez crafted the A.I.R.port with an exclusive internal structure that redirects sound waves to exit through a strategically positioned sound hole. This design enables players to achieve heightened clarity in monitoring their performance, thereby elevating the overall playing experience.
- X-M Bracing for AAM Series: After over two years of extensive trial, research, and prototyping, Ibanez introduced the exclusive X-M bracing tailored for Advanced Auditorium guitar bodies. This meticulously crafted scalloped bracing, along with tone and finger braces, optimally transfers string vibrations from the bridge to the body. The result is a broad dynamic range, exceptional response, and a balanced tonal profile with subtly scooped mids and clear treble reminiscent of steel strings, while preserving the warmth of nylon strings.
- Rosewood Fretboard: Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.
- 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.
- African Mahogany Back and Sides: The African Mahogany back and sides offer full-bodied warm mid range.
- Rosewood Scalloped Bridge: The lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance and provides more flexibility in adjusting the action than does a typical bridge.
- Advanced Access Cutaway: Its deep straight cutaway (from 18th fret) and shaved side enable amazing high fret access.
- Functional Tapered Headstock: The redesigned headstock shape is the outcome of meticulous research and investigation. Its tapered design ensures reduced weight, promotes a straight string alignment for enhanced tuning stability, and minimizes the potential for neck twisting effects.
- Ibanez Custom Electronics w/Volume and Tone Control: featuring a on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making the AE suitable for variety of applications for modern players
- 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: Advantage™ pins offer distinct advantages over traditional counterparts. They are easily removable and insertable, thanks to a specially designed bulb-shaped end that ensures a secure grip and prevents over-insertion. Importantly, Advantage™ ensures both the pin and string remain securely in place.
