Ibanez AE205JR Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Ovangkol Fretboard, Open Pore Natural

Born from a long lineage of stringed instruments, the acoustic guitar is steeped in tradition. But music continues to evolve and musicians demand inspiring new tools with which to carve out their own signature sound. In that spirit, we introduce Ibanez AE, our new flagship series of acoustic-electric guitars. Offering supreme tone and playability, Ibanez AE is the next step in a great tradition.

AE body shape
Designed for projection, balance and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds.

Scallop X bracing
The AE features bracing designed to project the guitar's complete sonic spectrum. From deep, robust lows; through a smooth, pronounced mid-range; to bright, articulate highs-the AE X bracing design delivers the complex overtones that are present in only the highest quality acoustic instruments.

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.
