Ibanez AAM70CE Tonewoods

Exotic Tonewoods

The Ibanez AAM70CE is equipped with a solid Sitka spruce top that generates an enormous frequency range, giving you wave after wave of airy highs, focused mids and full lows. Its unique Macassar ebony back and sides provide deep, resonant bass tones and crystalline highs that complement the balanced spruce top and put a finishing touch on a tonality that sits well in any mix. These tonewoods produce a vibrant acoustic voice that feels both nostalgic and wholly original, so players of all types can pick up an AAM70CE and sound like themselves.

Ibanez AAM70CE X-M Bracing

Advanced X-M Bracing

Ibanez designed the AAM70CE's X-M bracing to provide a balanced tonal response with a wide dynamic range, optimized for amplified performance settings. The carefully engineered scalloped bracing transmits your playing articulation with clarity, creating a crisp treble and robust low end. You'll appreciate the dynamic control and quick response, which guitarists have come to expect from a "living" acoustic instrument that breathes and blooms with the space in which it's played. The Ibanez AAM70CE's slightly oversized auditorium body and unique X-M bracing combine to produce expressive acoustic-electric tonality that works in every setting.

Ibanez AAM70CE Neck

Smooth-Playing Okoume Neck

The Ibanez AAM70CE features an okoume neck and purpleheart fretboard adding to its striking aesthetics while also accentuating low- and high-end frequencies. Its Low Oval Grip profile boasts a flatter fingerboard radius and slimmer nut width for enhanced playability, beckoning electric players to dive into a brand-new world of guitar tones. Of even greater assistance is a deep body cutaway at the 18th fret, giving players who like to fly around the fretboard the opportunity to spread their wings. The AAM70CE also includes a functionally significant tapered headstock that increases tuning stability and prevents neck warping.

Ibanez AAM70CE Preamp

Ibanez Onboard Electronics

Plug in the AAM70CE to hear its acoustic tone accurately amplified thanks to the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup. Shape your amplified tone with the Ibanez preamp's 2-band EQ, control the output with a designated volume control and stay on pitch with the onboard tuner. Proprietary Ibanez electronics provide the versatility you need for the stage or studio, faithfully reproducing the sound you've come to love as the guitar's organic acoustic properties interact with a room. Play it loud, without hesitation, confidently knowing custom-designed Ibanez electronics represent the instrument in its best light.
