Description

The Ibanez AEG550 bocote acoustic-electric guitar delivers powerful and balanced sound, unplugged or through an amp. It blends comfortable playability, classic finishes and intuitive electronics to create a quality, versatile workhorse. The AEG550 features a single-cutaway body with a spruce top for pristine tonal clarity, and bocote back and sides for eye-catching visuals and full, warm sound. It has a nyatoh neck with a Comfort Grip contour for smooth playability, topped with an ebony fingerboard for rich sustain, tight lows and strong attack in the high end.

The AEG550 has an Ibanez T-bar II undersaddle pickup to reduce noise and provide a wide range of natural, piezo-style sound. The AEQ-TTS preamp offers Volume and Shape controls, to quickly adjust the tone from low and powerful to bright and crisp. It also includes an easy-to-read onboard tuner with LCD display. Additional appointments include an ebony bridge for natural, warm tone, and Advantage bridge pins, with a special bulb-shaped end that allows for an easier grip and prevents the pins from being pushed in too far.

  • Amazing resonance on acoustic and beautiful tone on electric

    First of all, this guitar looks absolutely beautiful. The wood features along the sides and back of the body are just such a great feature, and the designs along the neck and bridge are such great compliments. This guitar just sounds absolutely heavenly when you bump the reverb even the slightest bit, even though you already have so much because of the material of the top of the body. That sound just hits, and keeps hitting. Although this guitar is in incredibly limited stock, I feel so lucky to get my hands on one of them so early. This is a truly amazing guitar, do not let the hefty tag scare you away from it. It's worth every penny.
