Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar

With the AE170, Ibanez has created an electro-acoustic folk guitar where aesthetics and comfort go hand in hand without a false note. Its solid Sitka spruce top, enhanced by a glossy natural finish, dialogues with a red flamed maple back and sides, offering a visual presence that matches its sonic expressiveness. Thanks to its AEQ-TP2 preamp, its playing asserts itself with clarity, while the maple Comfort Grip neck promotes an intuitive grip. Designed to accompany every nuance of your playing, it ensures a direct connection with your musicality, both in its subtleties and in its flights.

The Ibanez AE170 Natural Gloss Top + Red Back Gloss is a real bridge between your playing and the authenticity of acoustic sound. Its Auditorium-type body, designed for balance and projection, combines with an A.I.R.port side opening that optimizes the diffusion of vibrations towards the musician. Thus, each chord, each note resonates with an increased presence, reinforcing this feeling of total immersion. While the X-M bracing stabilizes and enriches the harmonic response, the Ovangkol Thermo Aged bridge amplifies the transmission of vibrations, for a rendering that is as natural as it is detailed.

While your fingers travel over the Ovangkol Thermo Aged fingerboard, the Comfort Grip profile of its maple neck ensures a fluidity that will free up the interpretation. Between ergonomics and sound, this design neglects nothing to offer immediate playability, without constraints. However, it is with the AEQ-TP2 preamp that it reveals its full potential: incorporating a 2-band equalizer and an integrated tuner, it adjusts each nuance with precision, guaranteeing instant adaptation to your style and your sound environment.

While some models struggle to restore their authenticity in amplification, the AE170 relies on the T-bar sensor under the saddle to capture the richness of its tone. Thanks to this technology, the dynamics are respected, allowing the subtleties of the game to emerge without compromise. As comfort does not stop there, the oil bath mechanics and the headstock nut optimize the stability of the tuning, making every moment spent with this guitar a fluid and intuitive experience.
