Description
The Ibanez AAD77CE is built for players who need a versatile acoustic-electric that can handle both intimate settings and stage work without compromise. This Grand Dreadnought brings more volume and low-end response than a standard dreadnought-about 5% larger proportionally-while maintaining comfortable ergonomics for long playing sessions. If you're a songwriter, performer, or studio player who needs an instrument that sounds great unplugged but translates well through an amp or PA, this one delivers.
The solid Sitka spruce top paired with flamed maple back and sides gives you a bright, articulate tone with strong projection and clear note separation. Ibanez's X-M bracing system creates crisp treble and solid bass response with a controlled midrange that cuts through a mix without getting muddy. The onboard AEQ-TP2 preamp includes a 2-band EQ and built-in tuner positioned on the upper bout for easy access, while the T-bar undersaddle pickup captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice when plugged in. The A.I.R.port-a specially designed secondary sound hole-helps you hear yourself better while playing, which we've found particularly useful for stage monitoring.
The okoume neck has a low oval profile that feels fast for chord work and comfortable for extended playing, topped with a purpleheart fretboard that adds warmth to the overall tone. The advanced access cutaway gives you clean reach up to the 18th fret and beyond, while the tapered headstock design improves tuning stability and reduces neck weight. Build quality is solid throughout, and those Advantage bridge pins make string changes much less frustrating than traditional pins. We've had good experience with Ibanez's Advanced Acoustic series-they're well-engineered instruments that hold up to regular gigging and offer more thoughtful design details than most guitars in this price range.
