Independent shopping perspective
The AE160 is a right-handed six-string acoustic-electric in Ibanez’s Grand Auditorium body shape, finished in Vintage Mahogany Sunburst. Its solid Sitka spruce top is paired with ovangkol back and sides, while a Comfort Grip nyatoh neck meets a Thermo Aged ovangkol fingerboard. An Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup feeds an AEQ-TP2 preamp for amplified work, with an onboard tuner and two-band EQ for adjustments at the instrument.
