Ibanez AE245-NT AE Electro Acoustic Guitar, Natural High Gloss

Ibanez 2017 AE245-NT AE Electro Acoustic Guitar, Natural High Gloss

The 2017 Ibanez AE Electro Acoustic lineup meets the demands of session musicians and live performers that need a guitar for any occasion. Easily adapted to any style or genre, and with high-quality electronics built-in, the AE245 is a versatile guitar that combines decades of Ibanez research and development.

The height of Performance and Tone

The all-Mahogany body of the AE245 generates a woody, warm tone with a soft response when finger picking and provides punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strumming. The fretboard inlay has a delicate but dynamic design. The wooden inlays provide a sophisticated aesthetic appeal. 

The compact, onboard active preamp simply features a mute switch to eliminate unexpected parameter changes during performances. This helps reduce the guitar’s size and weight, minimize body contact, and maximize the acoustic tone. The newly designed under-the-saddle pickup equalizes the volume of each string and delivers a well-balanced signal. The natural acoustic tone from this active circuit is remarkably stable and resists noise. It will support performances on stage, from solos to ensembles.
