This Advanced Acoustic Auditorium features a solid Sitka spruce top for a clear, sharp, and forward sound accompanied by the warm resonance of sapele back and sides. Ibanez’s projective X-M bracing pattern adds plentiful volume. Meanwhile, with its ergonomic low-oval profile, the purpleheart-topped okoume neck is engineered for maximum sustain and an incredibly comfortable grip in hand. Its 15.75-inch fingerboard radius offers a remarkably flat playing surface for easy bends and roaming of the 20 nickel frets with effortless precision. Indeed, folk, bluegrass, and indie artists will feel right at home with the Advanced Acoustic Auditorium at their fingertips.
