Open Box Ibanez AE390NTA Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Level 1 Natural
Description
The AE390NTA Grand Auditorium from Ibanez is born of a long and storied lineage of acoustic instruments, taking cues from ageless designs. This acoustic-electric, with its distinctly contemporary appointments, offers supreme tone and playability to help you find your voice as a musician. The AE390NTA Grand Auditorium pairs traditional vintage craftsmanship with practical modern improvements that appeal to current generations of guitarists, inspiring creativity and the desire to push individual musical boundaries into all-new territory.
Proprietary X-M Bracing for Superb Projection
The AE390NTA acoustic-electric features the proprietary Ibanez X-M bracing pattern, providing substantial resonance and snappy dynamic response. X-M bracing was engineered to maximize string vibration from the bridge to the body, for an accurate, balanced tone with crisp treble and a muscular low end. Due to the way the AE390NTA acoustically resonates, it's an incredibly responsive instrument that translates the nuance of fingerstyle and the intensity of riffs. Moreover, an ingenious A.I.R.port is a specially designed soundhole on the side of the guitar allowing air to flow freely through the body. This, again, lets the guitar "breathe," creating spacious, room-filling sound. It doubly serves as a player-facing "monitor" so you can hear the tones emanating directly from the AE390NTA.
German Spruce and Flamed Maple Tonewoods
The AE390NTA features a solid German spruce top, prized for pristine clarity and sensitivity to player input. Its tight, straight grain produces tons of shimmering overtones with three-dimensional, airy high end. Combined with X-M bracing, the spruce top offers precise articulation to highlight your unique playing style and the tone in your hands. Ibanez constructed the AE390NTA Grand Auditorium with flamed maple on the back and sides, which not only looks stellar, but also influences the guitar's voice. Maple produces a relatively linear response across the spectrum, with a focused tone and quick decay that's ideal for solos, strumming and staccato riffing. Of course, the flame figuring is eye-catching and a welcome complement to the AE390NTA's classy looks.
Superior Playability From a Comfort Grip Neck
Ibanez loaded the AE390NTA acoustic-electric with a fast-playing, Comfort Grip maple neck. Trimmed to a thin C shape with rounded rosewood fretboard edges, the neck promotes superior playability for thumb-over chording and thumb-behind lead playing. Jumbo frets also relieve some of the pressure required to hold notes and can aid in bending, which is already a difficult technique on steel-string acoustics. Infused with some of the wizardry imbued in hard-rocking Ibanez electrics, the AE390NTA has a modern feel that's extremely comfortable, with enough nostalgic familiarity to appeal to players of all stripes.
Amplify Your Sound With Ibanez Electronics
On its own, the Ibanez AE390NTA is a brilliantly articulate, resonant and downright singing guitar. When it's time to perform live or go direct for simplified recording, custom Ibanez electronics are there to provide. An undersaddle T-bar pickup is unobtrusive, and it manages to capture the true character of the unplugged tone with minimal coloration. Included controls are master volume and tone, positioned just near the A.I.R.port on the top side of the guitar. Need authentic acoustic sound out loud? The Ibanez AE390NTA electronics oblige.
For guitarists seeking a high-performance acoustic-electric with the looks and build quality to boot, the AE390NTA Grand Auditorium delivers exceptional tone and playability, unplugged or wired up. Its thin, ergonomically friendly neck and richly resonant properties let you hone your signature sound on stage, in the studio or even just on the couch at home.
