Ibanez AE Series AE140 Acoustic Electric Guitar, Weathered Black Open Pore Top/Open Pore Natural Back and Sides

Are you a musician seeking to evolve your sound with a tool that's both steeped in tradition and innovative in design Discover the Ibanez AE Series AE140 Acoustic Electric Guitar, a flagship model that beautifully blends supreme tone and exceptional playability. This acoustic-electric guitar, with its weathered black open pore top and open pore natural back and sides, is a testament to the enduring legacy of acoustic guitar craftsmanship.

The AE140 features a Comfort Grip Nyatoh neck, meticulously contoured to ensure superior playability, and a Laurel fretboard known for its rich, warm tonality. The solid Okoume top of this guitar delivers a full-bodied and bright tone with a warm mid-range, while the Okoume back and sides produce a woody, warm tone that becomes punchy with clear projection when strummed.

The Ibanez AE140 is equipped with an Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup, expertly designed to accurately translate the guitar's full sound to any amplification system. It also boasts an Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with an onboard tuner and a 2-band EQ, conveniently located on the instrument's upper bout for easy access.

The guitar's Laurel Scalloped bridge, lightweight and designed for improved vibration efficiency, enhances resonance and provides flexibility in adjusting the action. The Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, easier to insert and remove than standard pins, ensure the pin and string stay secure.

The AE140 also features the innovative A.I.R. port, a result of intensive research and development. This unique internal structure reflects sound waves and guides them to exit from a precisely positioned sound hole, allowing players to monitor their performance more clearly.

The X-M Bracing, a product of years of trial-and-error, is designed to generate a sound that stands out on stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, along with the allocation of tone braces and finger braces, efficiently transmit string vibration through the bridge to the body, creating a clear bottom and crispy treble sound with a trimmed warm mid-range, while providing a wide dynamic range and high response.

Finally, the AE body shape of the AE140 is designed for projection, balance, and comfort. This contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds, making the Ibanez AE Series AE140 Acoustic Electric Guitar a perfect choice for musicians seeking to carve out their own signature sound.
