Ibanez AE390NTA Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The AE390NTA Grand Auditorium from Ibanez is born of a long and storied lineage of acoustic instruments, taking cues from ageless designs. This acoustic-electric, with its distinctly contemporary appointments, offers supreme tone and playability to help you find your voice as a musician. The AE390NTA Grand Auditorium pairs traditional vintage craftsmanship with practical modern improvements that appeal to current generations of guitarists, inspiring creativity and the desire to push individual musical boundaries into all-new territory.

Proprietary X-M Bracing for Superb Projection

The AE390NTA acoustic-electric features the proprietary Ibanez X-M bracing pattern, providing substantial resonance and snappy dynamic response. X-M bracing was engineered to maximize string vibration from the bridge to the body, for an accurate, balanced tone with crisp treble and a muscular low end. Due to the way the AE390NTA acoustically resonates, it's an incredibly responsive instrument that translates the nuance of fingerstyle and the intensity of riffs. Moreover, an ingenious A.I.R.port is a specially designed soundhole on the side of the guitar allowing air to flow freely through the body. This, again, lets the guitar "breathe," creating spacious, room-filling sound. It doubly serves as a player-facing "monitor" so you can hear the tones emanating directly from the AE390NTA.

Superior Playability From a Comfort Grip Neck

Ibanez loaded the AE390NTA acoustic-electric with a fast-playing, Comfort Grip maple neck. Trimmed to a thin C shape with rounded rosewood fretboard edges, the neck promotes superior playability for thumb-over chording and thumb-behind lead playing. Jumbo frets also relieve some of the pressure required to hold notes and can aid in bending, which is already a difficult technique on steel-string acoustics. Infused with some of the wizardry imbued in hard-rocking Ibanez electrics, the AE390NTA has a modern feel that's extremely comfortable, with enough nostalgic familiarity to appeal to players of all stripes.
