Ibanez AE200JR Mini Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Dark Tide Blue Flat

The Ibanez AE200JR Mini Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar, representing the flagship AE series, brings together the best of classic design with modern appointments. The AE200JR features a solid Sitka spruce top, okoume back and sides, and scalloped bracing that work together to produce a broad frequency range with impressive projection and volume. A true workhorse, the Ibanez AE200JR offers comfortable playability, room-filling tone that punches above its size and onboard electronics when you need to plug in.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Scalloped Bracing

The top wood is key for any acoustic guitar's voice, and the AE200JR delivers with a solid piece of choice Sitka spruce. This wood organically produces a wide range of overtones, resulting in sparkling highs, focused mids and enveloping low end. Internally, scalloped X-bracing further enhances bloom and volume, ensuring that the instrument sympathetically resonates as a quality acoustic should. This carefully designed bracing system sends vibration from the strings through the bridge directly into the body. Guitarists of all types will appreciate the dynamic range and balanced frequency response of this premium Sitka spruce top and advanced bracing technique.

Comfortably Playing Neck and Fingerboard

The AE200JR sports a nyatoh neck and ovangkol fingerboard for smooth, comfortable playability. The satin-finished nyatoh neck features a slim profile that feels fast and effortless, echoing the speed associated with Ibanez electrics in a more subdued presentation. Ovangkol has a tighter grain compared to an offering like rosewood, resulting in a fingerboard that promotes accurate, low-fatigue playing as your fingers glide from fret to fret. The wood's crisp attack also brings out note clarity, which is always a favorable quality, especially for voicing larger chords. Together, the nyatoh neck and ovangkol fingerboard make the AE200JR feel familiar and comfortable to play while also showcasing your technique.
