The Ibanez AAM380CE Advanced Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar brings together exceptional tonewoods, innovative bracing and dual pickups for the ultimate amplified acoustic experience. Built for the progressive player, the AAM380CE features an Advanced Auditorium body shape that produces a powerful yet balanced tone with impressive projection. The solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides generate a rich low end, focused midrange and crisp treble, while the X-M scalloped bracing transmits those vibrations efficiently through the body. The result is a guitar with a wide dynamic range, clear bass and shimmering highs.

Resonate Brightly With Innovative X-M Bracing

Ibanez's carefully designed scalloped X-bracing system, along with the allocation of tone braces and finger braces, transmits string vibration with clarity through the bridge to the body. This X-M bracing pattern creates crisp treble, trimmed warm mids and a clear low end. Yet it also gives you a wide tonal range with quick response.

Dual Pickup System Blends Undersaddle and Soundhole Pickups

The AAM380CE's dual pickup system uses an undersaddle pickup complemented by a soundhole pickup to give you an array of tonal flavors. Blend the two pickups to dial in anything from a robust, natural acoustic tone to a focused amplified sound with crystalline highs. The mix of undersaddle and soundhole pickups preserves the AAM380CE's rich resonance and allows its solid Sitka spruce top to shine.

Straight String Alignment Enhances Tuning Stability

The AAM380CE's tapered headstock shape provides precise string alignment for rock-solid tuning stability. By reducing string friction and potential neck twist, the headstock design keeps the AAM380CE in tune through rapid chord changes, string bending and heavy strumming. You can count on tuning reliability whether crafting rich acoustic textures in the studio or performing high-energy live sets.

Change Strings Easily With Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins

The Advantage bridge pins from Ibanez make string changes much simpler compared to standard pins. Their special bulb shape enables a solid grip so you can remove and insert them with ease. The pins stay locked in position for reliable tuning.

See the Frets Clearly With Luminlay Side Dots

The AAM380CE has Luminlay side dot inlays along its fingerboard. These glow-in-the-dark position markers make it easy to see every fret, even when playing on dimly lit stages.

Sculpt Your Sound With the Onboard Preamp

Plug in to amplify your acoustic tone through the Ibanez preamp's EQ controls. Shape your sound to cut through a mix or highlight fingerstyle nuance. The preamp captures the AAM380CE's natural acoustic character for amplification that's transparent yet bold.
