The Ibanez AEG1221 is a 12-string electro-acoustic guitar designed to deliver the wide, bright sound characteristic of this format in a comfortable and manageable AEG body. Its spruce top pairs with sapeli sides and back, providing a balanced and defined response, while the cutaway allows easy access to the higher frets on the neck.
The Comfort Grip neck made of nyatoh and the Macassar ebony fingerboard offer a comfortable and precise playing experience, which is especially important on a 12-string guitar.

Our Opinion
The AEG1221 is an especially appealing choice for players seeking the character of a 12-string without the bulk of a large acoustic body. Its AEG format and Comfort Grip profile make it more comfortable to play than many traditional 12-strings, while still delivering that rich, harmonic-filled sound ideal for strumming, arpeggios, and open chords.
Additionally, the T-bar II system combined with the AEQ-TTS preamp makes it a very practical guitar for live performances. We believe it’s a great option for musicians wanting to add a 12-string to their setup with simple electronics, easy access to higher registers, and a distinctive Black Out aesthetic that stands out from the usual.
