Ibanez [New Year's Sale] [Discontinued Product Special Price] Ibanez AAM340CE-RUB

This advanced auditorium model features an innovative acoustic design that allows performers to experience the sensation of being enveloped in sound.
This model is based on the design philosophy that Ibanez has cultivated over many years, and is designed not just to produce volume or power, but to allow the player to experience the sound in the most comfortable way possible.

The AIR Port located on the side of the body has a unique structure that controls the flow of sound using two internal reverberation structures, efficiently delivering sound to the player.
This allows the player to feel their performance in a more three-dimensional and natural way.
A major feature is that it does not simply increase the volume, but allows you to experience the breadth and depth of the sound.

The body shape uses the Advanced Auditorium design, which pursues stability and acoustic balance during performance.
The slightly wider waist than a typical auditorium and the narrowed waist positioned closer to the neck create an excellent weight balance.
In addition, the body edges are rounded, making it less stressful to play for long periods of time.

The internal structure uses Ibanez's proprietary XM bracing.
Based on the know-how cultivated in the development of dreadnoughts, it has been redesigned specifically for the Advanced Auditorium, and despite its compact body size, it combines solid bass with clear mid- and high-range sounds.
Its appeal lies in its three-dimensional sound that doesn't get lost in a band ensemble.

The body is made of all African mahogany.
It features a warm mid-low range and a straightforward, well-balanced response, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles, from fingerstyle to strokes.

The neck is made of African mahogany that has been Thermo Aged™ treated to remove excess moisture and resin from the wood, improving response and stability.
The low oval grip shape and rounded fingerboard edges make it fit naturally in your hand, making it less tiring to play for long periods of time.

The deeply carved cutaway from the 18th fret onwards and the bold shaping of the heel area make for excellent playability in the higher positions, allowing for comfortable solo playing and melodic phrases.

The head shape is designed to achieve both weight balance and resonance, preventing unnecessary imbalances in the center of gravity while achieving natural sustain.
The scalloped rosewood bridge efficiently transmits string vibrations to the top, producing a rich resonance.

The pickup system is equipped with Ibanez Custom Electronics, which combines under-saddle pickups and contact pickups.
Although it has a simple configuration with only volume and tone, it allows you to create a sound that is easy to use on stage without compromising the nuances of the natural sound.

Ibanez Advantage(TM) bridge pins eliminate the need to bend the ball ends when changing strings, providing a secure hold and high workability.
