Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Dark Violin Sunburst, the right-handed Ibanez AAD51CE brings a Grand Dreadnought format to acoustic-electric duties. The body is proportionally 5% larger than a traditional dreadnought, while its solid Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides are voiced for a balanced response with clear highs, defined mids, and full lows. The T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp cover amplified use, with an onboard tuner plus Bass, Treble, and Volume controls. An A.I.R.port helps the player hear the guitar, and the cutaway opens access to upper frets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Using one guitar for acoustic practice, amplified rehearsal, recording, and live performance.
- Making quick tuning and Bass, Treble, or Volume adjustments from the guitar.
- Players who need access to upper frets through an Advanced Access Cutaway.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require a left-handed instrument; this model is listed as right handed.
