Ibanez AAM780E Natural High Gloss

With the concept of Advanced Acoustics: "Reimagining the acoustic experience," the new body shape of the Advanced Auditorium has been carefully designed based on research into the overall shape of the Auditorium body. After numerous prototypes, the Advanced Auditorium body features a slightly wider waist, shifted slightly towards the neck. Thanks to these modifications, this shape provides richer bass response and better balance between the body and weight, addressing common issues found in conventional Auditorium bodies.

Through extensive research and development, the A.I.R.port has been designed with a unique internal structure that reflects sound waves and guides them to exit through a precisely positioned sound hole. As a result, players can monitor what they are playing more clearly, enhancing the overall experience.

The Low Oval neck shape facilitates strumming and the rounded edges of the fingerboard provide a superior feel. Thermo Aging, a special drying process, makes the neck lightweight and hard, offering excellent stability and improved resonance.

Ibanez Custom Electronics amplifies the signal from each pickup naturally across the tonal spectrum. Combining the two pickups allows players to create a wide range of tones suited to their playing style or musical genre.

Ebony bridge pins improve vibration transfer for better resonance.

About Ibanez

Ibanez is a manufacturer of guitars and basses based in Japan. The brand name originates from the Spanish luthier Salvador Ibáñez, whose excellent guitars were distributed in Japan by Hoshino Gakki. The 1929 recession impacted the company, leading to its closure in 1933. The Japanese market was left without supply, so in 1935, the importer started manufacturing Spanish guitars under the name "Ibanez Salvador," which later became simply "Ibanez."
