Ibanez

collapse expand iconDescription

The Ibanez AEG70 Flamed Maple Top Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar offers musicians an instrument with premium features and masterful sound in an affordable, accessible package. Built around a solid sapele body with a distinctive flamed maple top, the lightweight AEG70 projects with warmth and resonance while cutting through in live settings thanks to its Ibanez AEQ-TTS preamp and tuner.

Simple Yet Powerful Electronics Provide Full Tonal Control

The AEG70 starts with an all-new preamp, the Ibanez AEQ-TTS, which offers natural acoustic tone at its center setting along with the ability to adjust to different sonic profiles. With just two knobs—one for volume and one for shape—this streamlined preamp enables you to dial in anything from a full, warm tone to a bright, cutting sound with a simple turn. An easy-to-read LCD tuner is built right into the preamp for convenient tuning on stage or in the studio.

Resonant Sapele Body Enhanced by Distinctive Flamed Maple

The foundation of the AEG70's tone is its sapele body, a dense, musical wood that provides articulate lows, ringing highs and balanced midrange. The guitar's sapele body is capped by a flamed maple top, which not only adds visual flair but also helps produce a focused, woody sound with rich overtones. A slim nyatoh neck offers a comfortable playing feel for guitarists of all styles.

Premium Components for Legendary Playability

In the studio or on stage, the AEG70 delivers a playing experience worthy of any pro. It features an ebony bridge, walnut fretboard and open-gear tuners along with an undersaddle Ibanez T-bar pickup for balanced plugged-in tone. The AEG70's 15.7" fingerboard radius and low action make complex chords and melodic runs easy to play while proprietary Ibanez bridge pins enable fast string changes.

Couldn't be happier

I was disappointed that the Yamaha I went to get was not In.stock. I picked up about 10 other acoustics in the 600 range. I went with this Ibanez and couldn't be more pleased with my decision. It is a BEAUTIFUL guitar. The fit and finish is well above the price point. I would recommend this instrument to anyone. I should have known it would be like every other ibanez (electric or acoustic) that I've played...a whole lot of quality for your money! I have not owned an acoustic in 20 years. I would think about buying one and then find another electric I wanted more. I've fallen in love with the built in tuner. Hit one button and I can easily drop 1/2 step to play some of my favorites. I know the onboard tuner is not new to most folks but for players like me that have never had it, will love the convenience. This instrument has stayed in my hands since my purchase. For me it's not just a home run but a bottom of the ninth walk off grand slam. I love this thing!

A poor sounding, beautiful guitar.

I bought this AEG70 in charcoal burst online. Typically I don't like to buy guitars online until I get the chance to play them first, however due to Covid I've tried to avoid going in-stores. I've been needing a new acoustic for some time now and finally had the chance to buy one. There was nothing observably wrong with the condition of the shipping - the guitar arrived without any incident and on time as expected. Opening the packaging revealed the stunning flamed maple veneer on the body. Its a beautiful guitar. The tuning machines all seem to be high quality. The nut and saddle seem to be made of some cheap material but serve their purpose. The fret-board is unbearably "dry" and scratchy - desperate need of some fret-oil to rehydrate the wood, this affected the playability of the guitar substantially. The most offensive aspect of the guitar was the tone, which I would call a thin toy guitar sound. It sounds like your playing through a tin can. Not what I was expecting for this price range. This is a beautiful guitar, but the range of tone it produces is not worth your money. Try your instruments before you buy them. I'll be returning this one soon.

    Swapped to a warmer sounding set of acoustic strings, and with a nut/neck measuring at 41mm I cannot get it out of her hands.

    When we brought it home we immediately hung it on the wall. Its color is amazing; when I look at it the green just takes me away and makes me want to pick it up and play. So far we haven't had any issues and it's a cool new acoustic. The pickup is clear and the tuner is as well. This guitar will last and help to make many great memories.

    It's a beautiful guitar I love it , there is one minor issue it just vibrates when being played which I figured out was the bridge clip things. I can just replace those other than that it's amazing.
