Enhanced Sound Projection
The Ibanez AAM380CE-NT features a ground-breaking innovation called the A.I.R.port. Through our meticulous research and development, Ibanez has crafted a unique internal structure that reflects sound waves and directs them to exit from a precisely positioned sound hole. This design allows you to monitor their playing more clearly, resulting in an enhanced overall playing experience. With the A.I.R.port, you can hear every detail of your performance with utmost clarity.
Richer Tones and Balanced Feel
Drawing on the concept of Advanced Acoustics - "Reimagining Acoustic Experience," Ibanez has engineered the Advanced Auditorium body shape, specifically tailored for the AAM series. The result is a slightly wider waist, moved towards the neck. This refined design delivers richer low mids and better body-to-weight balance, which sets it apart from conventional Auditorium bodies.
Ultimate Sound for Stage and Studio
After more than two years of meticulous experimentation and development, Ibanez proudly presents the proprietary X-M bracing system. Designed exclusively for the Advanced Auditorium guitar bodies, this innovative bracing delivers the ultimate sound for both stage and studio applications. The scalloped X-M bracing, tone braces, and finger braces work in harmony to efficiently transmit string vibration from the bridge to the body, resulting in unmatched responsiveness and a wide dynamic range. The scooped mids offer superior tonal balance, while the treble maintains the clarity of steel strings and the warm richness of nylon strings.
Versatile and Resonant
The AAM380CE-NT is equipped with a solid Sitka Spruce top, renowned for its exceptional tonal characteristics. This top wood offers an enormous frequency range, delivering wave after wave of shimmering highs, tight mids, and a full-bodied low end. The Sitka Spruce top of this guitar ensures that your playing is projected with versatility, clarity, and resonance.
Balanced Solid Tone
To further enhance the tonal excellence of the AAM380CE-NT, premium rosewood was selected for its back and sides. Rosewood is celebrated for its well-balanced and solid tone, with a focused mid-range that adds depth and character to your playing. With rosewood back and sides, this guitar offers a tonal palette that is sure to inspire and impress.
Natural Amplification
The AAM380CE-NT is equipped with Ibanez Custom Electronics, ensuring a natural and faithful amplification of your guitar's sound across the entire tonal spectrum. The system allows each pickup's signal to be amplified with precision, providing a versatile range of tones to suit your playing style and genre. With the ability to blend the sound of the two pickups, you can create a variety of captivating tones that truly reflect your musical expression.
Seamless High Fret Access
Embrace the freedom to explore every inch of the fretboard with the AAM380CE-NT's Advanced Access Cutaway. Its deep straight cutaway, starting from the 18th fret, allows for astounding high fret access. Combined with the shaved side of the cutaway, this design ensures that you can effortlessly reach those upper register notes without any hindrance, enabling you to unleash your creativity to the fullest.
