Detail 01
A.I.R.port player-facing soundhole
Directs the guitar’s projected sound toward the player.

Independent shopping perspective
Designed around Ibanez’s slightly larger Advanced Auditorium shape, the AAM54CE pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with sapele back and sides. X-M scalloped bracing is intended to support projection, sustain and a broad dynamic response, while the player-facing A.I.R.port directs sound toward the player. A Low Oval Grip okoume neck and deep 18th-fret cutaway shape the playing experience. When amplification is required, the T-bar pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp provide 2-band EQ, volume control and chromatic tuning.
