Description

The left handed Advanced Acoustic AAD170LCE pushes the acoustic guitar to new heights, in a way that promises an exciting new experience for all players. With slightly larger than typical proportions, Ibanez decided to name this new body shape the "Grand Dreadnought." This reinvented design achieves a superb, powerful sound, and thanks to the extensive consideration given to the ergonomics, its extremely comfortable to play. The Advanced Acoustic series represents an important step forward in the long and storied tradition of the acoustic guitar. In what amounts to a fully reimagined acoustic experience, these instruments were designed from the ground up to deliver a richer, brighter, and louder tone, with an unprecedentedly wide dynamic range. Low Oval Grip Thermo Aged Nyatoh Neck with Rounded Fretboard Edge: The Low Oval neck grip is designed for easy chord strumming and the Rounded Fretboard Edges provides superior playability. Thermo Aged, a special drying process, makes the neck light and hard and provides stability and better resonance. Ovangkol Fretboard: The Ovangkol fretboard provides greater playing comfort. Solid Sitka Spruce Top: Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end. Okoume Back and Sides: The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed. Ibanez AP11 Magnetic Pickup: The AP11 pickup is small, lightweight and positioned so it wont inhibit the natural vibrations of the top wood. The pickup generates a highly responsive sound with minimal feedback and delivers a lively response throughout the entire frequency range. The sound is transparent and reflects the guitars natural acoustic tone while preserving presence and mid-range. The AP11 also works well with effects such as reverb, chorus and many others. Ibanez Custom Electronics with Volume and Tone Control: The guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making it suitable for a variety of applications for modern players. Ovangkol Scalloped Bridge: The lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance, as well as providing more flexibility in adjusting the action than usual bridge. 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. Grand Dreadnought Body: Through a rigorous R&D process spanning several years, Ibanez has reimagined the Dreadnought from the ground up, pursuing the height of rich sound, robust low end, and rich tone. This brand new body shape is called the Grand Dreadnought. Proportionally, the Grand Dreadnought body is 5% larger than a standard dreadnought, allowing for more volume, richer tone, and more powerful low end response. Its also extremely comfortable to play thanks to the extensive consideration given to its ergonomics X-M Bracing: After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.
