Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Ibanez’s Grand Dreadnought body, the AAD54E is a six-string acoustic-electric with a solid African mahogany top and sapele back and sides. Its 25.6-inch scale and X-M bracing are designed for a firm low end, defined response and a broad dynamic range. The onboard T-bar pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp put volume, bass and treble adjustments within reach when amplified. An A.I.R.port directs reflected sound toward the player, while the Advanced Access Cutaway opens up the higher fret area.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsals or amplified sets where onboard volume, bass, treble and tuning controls are useful.
- Players moving between lighter fingerstyle passages and stronger strumming attacks.
- Acoustic parts that use higher neck positions through the Advanced Access Cutaway.
