Ibanez - AAM340CE Advanced Auditorium with Cutaway Acoustic/Electric Guitar - Rustic Black High Gloss

Low Oval Grip Thermo Aged™ African Mahogany neck with Rounded Fretboard Edge
The Low Oval neck grip facilitates easy chord strumming and the Rounded Fretboard Edges deliver superior playability. Thermo Aging, a special drying process, makes the neck light and hard and provides excellent stability and enhanced resonance.

Rosewood fretboard
Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Solid African Mahogany top
Solid African Mahogany top offers a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.

African Mahogany back and sides
The African Mahogany back and sides offer full-bodied warm mid range.

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 Custom Electronics w/Volume and Tone Control
The guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making it suitable for a variety of applications for modern players.

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.

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.

A.I.R.port
Through intensive research and development, Ibanez have designed the A.I.R.port with a unique internal structure that reflects sound waves and guides them to exit from a precisely positioned sound hole. As a result, players can monitor what they are playing more clearly, which enhances the overall playing experience.

Advanced Auditorium Body
With the concept of Advanced Acoustics - "Reimagining Acoustic Experience" in mind, Ibanez carefully designed the new body shape of the Advanced Auditorium, drawing on their research into the general Auditorium body shape. After many rounds of prototyping, the Advanced Auditorium body has a slightly wider waist, which has been moved slightly towards the neck. Thanks to these changes, this shape delivers a richer low mids and better body to weight balance, which conventional Auditorium bodies tend to lack.

X-M bracing for AAM series
After more than two years of trial and error, research, and prototyping, Ibanez developed its proprietary X-M bracing specifically for Advanced Auditorium guitar bodies to produce the ultimate sound for the stage and studio. The carefully designed scalloped X-M bracing, tone braces, and finger braces efficiently transmit string vibration from the bridge to the body. This bracing provides a wide dynamic range and excellent response. The mids are slightly scooped for better tonal balance, and the treble has the clarity of steel strings while retaining the warmth of nylon strings.

Functional Tapered Headstock
The newly designed headstock shape is the result of thorough research and investigation. Its tapered shape provides lighter weight, as well as a straight string alignment which enhances tuning stability and reduces any neck twisting effect

Advanced Access Cutaway
Its deep straight cutaway (from 18th fret) and shaved side enable amazing high fret access.
