Ibanez AJ7012M2E Jumbo 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Black

Built for players who want the power and dimension of a true 12-string jumbo, the Ibanez AJ7012M2E delivers wide-open projection, lush harmonic depth and reliable amplified performance for stage, studio and songwriting. Its large jumbo body is paired with a 25.5" scale length to support strong volume, firm string tension, and clear note separation across all twelve strings. A solid Sitka spruce top with okoume back and sides shapes a wide, expressive voice with shimmering highs, supportive mids, and a full low end, while the nyatoh neck and wider 1.89" nut width provide comfortable spacing for clean 12-string voicings. Equipped with an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp featuring Bass, Treble, and Volume controls plus an onboard tuner, the AJ7012M2E is built to perform confidently both unplugged and amplified for stage work, recording, and songwriting.

A Jumbo Body That Delivers Scale and Presence

The large jumbo body allows the AJ7012M2E to move more air than smaller acoustic shapes, giving chords extra depth and volume. This body size works especially well with a 12-string setup, helping octave pairs bloom naturally while maintaining clarity. The longer 25.5" scale length keeps string tension firm and balanced, supporting strong projection and consistent response across the neck.

Spruce and Okoume for Depth and Clarity

A solid Sitka spruce top provides fast response and wide dynamic range, allowing shimmering highs and tight mids to remain clear under varying attack. Okoume back and sides add warmth and a woody character, responding smoothly to lighter fingerpicking while delivering punchy high-mids and clear projection when strummed. Together, these tonewoods give the guitar an expressive yet controlled voice.

Neck and Fingerboard Designed for 12-String Control

The nyatoh neck contributes a rich mid-low response and stable feel, important for managing the added tension of a 12-string instrument. A laurel fretboard adds warmth and a smooth playing surface, while the 1.89" nut width provides comfortable string spacing for clean chord voicings. With 20 frets and a 15.75" fretboard radius, the neck feels balanced and approachable despite the wider layout.

Hardware That Supports Resonance and Stability

A laurel bridge transfers string vibration efficiently into the body, reinforcing the guitar’s natural warmth and sustain. Ibanez Advantage bridge pins make string changes easier and help keep strings securely seated, an important detail on a 12-string where tuning stability and consistent tension matter.

Electronics for Confident Amplified Performance

The AJ7012M2E is equipped with an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup paired with the AEQ-TP2 preamp, delivering clean, natural amplified sound. The preamp offers Bass, Treble, and Volume controls along with an onboard tuner mounted on the upper bout for quick adjustments. This setup makes the AJ7012M2E well suited for live performance, recording sessions, and songwriting situations where the layered sound of a 12-string needs to translate clearly and reliably.
