Ibanez AAM54CE Advanced Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The Ibanez AAM54CE Advanced Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar brings together innovative design elements that result in expressively resonant tone, articulate amplified sound and enhanced playing comfort. Its slightly larger grand auditorium shape, developed by Ibanez, achieves the loud projection and wide dynamic range that today’s players demand. Combined with the guitar’s onboard electronics, you’ll enjoy superb articulation, sweet, singing overtones and an impressively performing instrument overall you can use in the studio or confidently perform with on stage.

X-M Bracing for Powerful Projection and Full-Bodied Tone

After years perfecting their craft, Ibanez luthiers designed the AAM54CE’s auditorium body to be slightly larger than a traditionally shaped one. This offers room for proprietary Ibanez X-M scalloped bracing to help the instrument resonate freely, generating volume and sustain, with clear, balanced tone across the frequency spectrum. You’ll appreciate the crisp treble, mid-range warmth and robust low end. The Ibanez AAM54CE is abundant in overtones, with an impressive dynamic range that’s ideal for the stage, the coffee shop, the street corner, the recording studio or wherever your music takes you.

Sitka Spruce Top and Sapele Back/Sides for Natural Sound

The AAM54CE combines a solid Sitka spruce top with sapele back and sides to achieve a beautifully balanced acoustic voice. The spruce radiates with complex overtones in the highs and mids, while the sapele offers a focused low end, adding warmth and dimension. Together, they provide the shimmering articulation and tonal depth that discerning players desire from their acoustic-electric. When you’re playing the guitar, seated or standing, a player-facing A.I.R.port soundhole directs powerful tone toward your ears, for an enriched, more satisfying strumming experience. You’ll love the vibrant and nuanced acoustic tone, which also amplifies exceptionally well in situations requiring greater volume.

Ibanez Electronics Faithfully Capture Acoustic Tone

The AAM54CE’s Ibanez electronics system accurately conveys its impressive unplugged tone to any amplifier, PA or recording system. It features an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and streamlined, yet versatile, AEQ-TP2 preamp. The T-bar pickup captures the guitar’s vibrant low end, balanced midrange and airy highs, while the AEQ-TP2 lets you fine-tune your amplified tone with its 2-band EQ. A volume control adjusts the overall output, and an onboard chromatic tuner ensures you’re always on pitch. Just plug in the Ibanez AAM54CE via the endpin jack, and you’re ready to hit the stage or studio with organic acoustic tone that truly resonates with listeners.

Tapered Headstock and Comfortable Neck

The AAM54CE’s functional tapered headstock offers straighter string alignment over the nut for increased tuning stability, as well as a reduced tendency for the neck to twist in reaction to climate changes. A smooth-playing okoume neck, sporting a comfortable Low Oval Grip profile, makes it easy to perform rapid solos in higher positions, supported by the AAM54CE’s deep cutaway at the 18th fret for extra access. Finally, the richly hued purpleheart fretboard looks stunning against the spruce top, while also adding brightness and complexity to the AAM54CE’s tone.

With its impressive projection, rich overtones and balanced acoustic sound, the Ibanez AAM54CE Advanced Auditorium acoustic-electric is ideal for guitarists needing a stage- and studio-ready instrument. Players of all stripes can enjoy its sleek playability, alongside traditional acoustic sound with a uniquely Ibanez twist. Order the Ibanez AAM54CE today.
