Ibanez AEG, The Electric Player's Acoustic, Gets Upgrades

The acoustic guitar designed to give electric players a stage-ready instrument built for comfortable play, the AEG line expands to include seven new models.

Among the new additions are two new AEG20IIs, three AEG10IIs, and two nylon stringed AEG10IIs, that reflect the company's commitment to the line's continual improvement.

"The new models are even easier to handle and to play, what with smaller body size, which is also shallower, for the sake of feedback resistance. We're doing a slightly shorter scale length and we switched to a satin finish on the back of the neck. These are all ease-of-play improvements," says Ibanez USA Acoustic Guitar Product Manager Frank Facciolo.

"We've also paired a Fishman Sonicore pickup with our AEG-FT1 preamp and onboard tuner to really elevate the value of these incredibly affordable guitars. They look great, and sound even better in both acoustic and amplified settings," says Facciolo.

SPECS:

  • 5pc maple/walnut
  • Wizard Premium neck
  • Quilted maple top/ American basswood body
  • Maple fingerboard
  • Pickups
  • DiMarzio IBZ-n (H) neck

  • Edge Zero II tremolo bridge
