Ibanez AAD170CE-LGS Acoustic Guitar – Natural Low Gloss

Ibanez AAD170CE-LGS Acoustic Guitar – Natural Low Gloss

The Ibanez Advanced Acoustic Series Aad170ce represents a significant evolution in acoustic guitar design. Introduced as part of Ibanez’s innovative Advanced Acoustic series, this grand dreadnought model features an Advanced Access cutaway, delivering enhanced upper-fret access and a powerful, projective voice. Crafted with premium materials and advanced bracing, it is designed for the discerning player seeking superior resonance and playability.

Premium Tonewoods and X-M Bracing

At the heart of the Aad170ce is a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Ibanez’s proprietary X-M bracing, which maximizes vibration and delivers a rich, dynamic acoustic response. The back and sides are constructed from laminated okoume, offering a warm and balanced tonal foundation. The top is finished in a sophisticated Natural Low Gloss, complemented by elegant black binding and a wooden multi-rosette.

Thermo-Aged Nyatoh Neck and Ovangkol Fingerboard

Playability is paramount in the Advanced Acoustic series. The guitar features a one-piece Thermo-aged nyatoh neck with a low oval grip profile, providing exceptional comfort and stability. The 20-fret ovangkol fingerboard features rounded edges for a broken-in feel right out of the box, while the small white dot inlays offer a clean, classic aesthetic.

Professional Electronics and Hardware

For amplified performance, the Aad170ce is equipped with an Ibanez AP11 magnetic pickup and Ibanez Custom Electronics, featuring intuitive volume and tone controls. The scalloped ovangkol bridge houses a compensated bone saddle and black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins for secure string retention. Chrome die-cast tuning machines ensure precise tuning stability, and a red tortoise pickguard adds a touch of vintage flair.
