AE510 Acoustic-Electric Guitar

With great clarity, the combination of a Sitka spruce top and pau ferro body helps Ibanez's AE510 acoustic-electric guitar generate a dynamic frequency range with gorgeous deep lows and sparkling highs. It enhances the versatility of Ibanez's AE body to match any playing styles, from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking.

The AE510 comes with a specially designed under-the-saddle pickup that detects pure and natural acoustic tones, equalizes the volume of each string, and delivers a well-balanced signal. The compact, onboard active preamp simply features a mute switch to eliminate unexpected parameter changes during performances. This helps reduce the guitar’s size and weight, minimize body contact, and maximize the acoustic tone. The signal from this active circuit is remarkably stable and resists noise. It will support performances on stage, from solos to ensembles. In order to shape the AE510’s tone to best fit whatever the musical situation calls for, the outboard Ibanez acoustic guitar preamp AGP10 features an extremely versatile EQ, as well as intuitive volume/gain controls, notch filter and balanced output option.

AE Series
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. Fueled by this, Ibanez developed their flagship AE series of acoustic-electric guitars, designed specifically for the acoustic performer.

The AE body shape features contemporary design elements to achieve high playability and create a well-balanced sound that adheres to the concept of the AE series. The combination of the specially designed scalloped X bracing and Tone Projection Back Bracing produces a versatile sound character. It creates rich sustain is which works for both finger and plectrum playing.
