Ibanez AEG Series Acoustic/Electric Guitar; AEG550

The AEG Series' slender, single-cutaway bodies deliver powerful and balanced acoustic sound, unplugged or through an amp or PA system. These guitars combine easy playability, classic solid and sunburst finishes, and intuitive electronics to create a quality, workhorse acoustic guitar that will rise to any occasion. High quality Ibanez under-saddle pickups and Ibanez preamps with onboard tuners provide sparkling tones that sound great in any environment.

Key Features:

- Comfort Grip Nyatoh neck... The Comfort Grip Maple Neck contour provides superior playability.

- Ebony fretboard... Ebony produces tight lows and mid range with a strong attack in the high end and features a quick response and rich sustain.

- Spruce top... Spruce remains the most popular wood for acoustic guitar tops, mainly due to its pristine tonal clarity.

- Bocote back and sides... The Bocote back and sides shows a beautiful wood grain and provide a powerful and warm sound.

- Ibanez T-bar II Undersaddle pickup... The Ibanez T-bar II under-saddle pickup reduces noise and provides wide range of natural piezo-style sound.

- Ibanez AEQ-TTS preamp w/Onboard tuner... The small and simple preamp offers two controls: volume and shape. A natural acoustic sound is found in the center position on the shape knob and allows players to easily adjust from low, fat and powerful tones to a bright and crisp sound while using only one control. A new, easy-to-read onboard tuner with LCD (liquid crystal display) is located on the preamp.

- Ebony bridge... The Ebony bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

- Ibanez Advantage bridge pins... These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage the pin and string stay put.
