Ibanez AAM50 Advanced Acoustic Series Acoustic Guitar, Open Pore Natural

Purpleheart fretboard

The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this bass.

Solid Sitka Spruce top

Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end.

Sapele back and sides

Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.

Purpleheart bridge

The Purpleheart bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

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.

X-M Bracing

After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.

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.
