When you pick up the Ibanez AAM50CE OPN, you immediately feel the perfect harmony between innovation and tradition. The Advanced Auditorium body offers a unique shape with a slightly widened waistline, allowing for better mid-bass projection and optimal body-to-weight balance. This design has been refined through years of research and prototyping, allowing the guitar to produce a rich, detailed sound ideal for both studio and stage performances. Solid Sitka Spruce on the top accentuates sparkling highs and provides extended dynamic response, while Sapele back and sides contribute notable tonal warmth.

The AAM50CE OPN is also equipped with the Ibanez AEQ-TP2 system, a preamp that integrates a two-band EQ and digital tuner, allowing you to customize the sound to suit your preferences and always stay in tune. This system is associated with a T-bar Undersaddle pickup, which faithfully captures string vibrations for precise amplification. The Purpleheart used for the fingerboard and bridge ensures not only an elegant aesthetic but also optimal transmission of vibrations to the body of the guitar, providing a natural and warm tone. Additionally, the Advanced Access Cutaway allows effortless access to the upper frets, giving you complete freedom to explore the high registers.

Did you know that the AAM50CE OPN incorporates the A.I.R.port, an innovative technology developed by Ibanez to improve sound projection? This internal system reflects sound waves and guides them to a precisely positioned resonance hole, allowing players to hear their playing better and improving the overall musical experience. This technical approach, combined with careful design of the Advanced Auditorium body, required several years of research to refine its acoustic performance.
