Get full-bodied acoustic sound with an innovative design.
The Ibanez AAM50 Advanced Auditorium acoustic guitar brings together decades of innovation with a focus on the needs of today's players. This full-bodied acoustic guitar is designed to deliver an impressively wide tonal range along with playing comfort. The AAM50 features a resonant X-M scalloped bracing system inside its Advanced Auditorium body shape to generate a dynamic tone that maintains clarity when playing complex chords. Players will appreciate the smooth oval grip okoume neck that feels familiar and allows effortless fretting. Decorative yet functional, the rich purpleheart fingerboard provides an elegant look while adding warmth to the AAM50's overall sound. Whether strumming open chords or intricate fingerstyle passages, the combination of solid Sitka spruce top and sapele back/sides produces balanced tone with crisp treble and a robust low end. The AAM50's tapered headstock not only provides better stability and quicker tuning response, but also enhances the overall lightweight feel of this inspiring acoustic guitar.
Reshape Your Acoustic Tone With the X-M Bracing System
After years perfecting the art of acoustic bracing, Ibanez engineered the innovative X-M scalloped bracing pattern to take your tone to the next level. Strategically placed X-shaped braces and additional finger braces work together to transfer string vibration efficiently through the bridge and out the body. You'll hear and feel how the X-M design allows the AAM50 to project with impressive volume while maintaining note clarity even during aggressive strumming or quick chord changes. From the tight lows to the shimmering highs, this advanced bracing gives you a wide tonal palette to create with.
Play All Night Long With the Oval Grip Okoume Neck
Once you get your hands on the AAM50's smooth okoume neck, you'll immediately notice how comfortable it feels. The oval profile has just the right contour for wrapping your thumb around easily. Combined with the manageable 43mm nut width, the okoume neck lets you play complex chords and riffs with less fatigue. No more pain or cramping to limit your practice sessions or gigs. The AAM50 provides the familiar feel that makes playing your favorite acoustic songs a breeze, even during extended sessions.
Accent Your Sound With the Vibrant Purpleheart Fingerboard
Beyond its eye-catching appearance, the AAM50's Purpleheart fingerboard enhances the overall tone and playing experience. The rich coloration and moderate density of Purpleheart wood adds a touch of natural compression to bring out the low-end warmth. You'll notice how well the treble notes sing with added sweetness too. Combined with the 20 comfortably spaced frets, the smooth and stable Purpleheart fingerboard makes it easy to play with speed and precision. Whether you're into fingerstyle or strumming, the AAM50's fingerboard looks, feels and sounds amazing.
Hear Your Acoustic Tone Come Alive
From the very first strum, you can tell the AAM50 was designed to deliver an inspiring acoustic guitar experience. The solid Sitka spruce top has the perfect blend of flexibility and stiffness to produce full-bodied tone with excellent note separation. Even delicate fingerpicking comes through with clarity. The sapele back and sides add just the right amount of warmth to balance out the crisp treble response. Each note sings with the gorgeous harmonic overtones that nylon strings are loved for. Tuning up is smooth and stable thanks to the AAM50's lightweight tapered headstock. Take your playing to the next level with the Ibanez AAM50 Advanced Auditorium acoustic guitar.
