Ibanez AAD77M1E Open Pore Antique White

4lbs 13oz.

Ibanez’s Advanced Acoustic guitar lineup fuses forward-thinking ideologies in guitar building with a focus on enhancing the traditional acoustic sound. Crafted from a tried-and-true tonewood combination of a Sitka spruce top and flame maple back and sides, the AAD77ME projects a punchy, vivacious tone from its slightly oversized dreadnought body. The X-M top bracing pattern further reinforces sonic projection while allowing the top to resonate and vibrate freely. The okoume neck and maple fingerboard add an intriguing touch of sonic complexity while offering comfortable playability. Fit for the studio, the stage, and everywhere in between, the AAD77ME's combination of natural acoustic bliss and an AEQ-TP2 acoustic-electric system has made it Mom's guitarists' go-to acoustic for solo sets, full-band gigs, and recording. Moreover, the innovative A.I.R.port design enables self-monitoring, as it directs the AAD77ME’s natural sound directly to your ears, instilling confidence in every performance. Add in 18:1 gear ratio tuners and a redesigned headstock to reinforce tuning stability, and the AAD77ME stands as a formidable acoustic-electric instrument suited for any player.

Greater sonic projection, greater playability

In search of a grander projection and a more robust low end, Ibanez reimagined the traditional dreadnought from the ground up, resulting in the Grand Dreadnought. This body shape, 5% larger than a standard dreadnought, delivers rich tone, supreme volume, and that powerful low-end response that fans of dreadnought-style guitars crave. Combine this shape with Ibanez X-M bracing, and you’ll be treated to crisp treble and a warm midrange to complement the power of the body shape.

Moreover, the AAD77ME has been engineered with ergonomics in mind. Subtle carvings along the edges of the body promote a relaxed picking arm and result in a more natural resting on your leg. Furthermore, the Advanced Access Cutaway provides unfettered access to your highest frets while reducing strain on your hands. The result? An immersive performance experience that allows you to get lost in the music.

Exclusive Ibanez electronics

The AAD77ME provides the best of both worlds: a naturally pleasing acoustic timbre and the capacity for faithful amplified projection. Thanks to its AEQ-TP2 preamp and T-bar under-saddle pickup, this acoustic is ready for the stage. Whether plugging into your favorite acoustic amp or a DI setup, a selection of simple controls, including Volume and a 2-band EQ, allows you to fine-tune your sound to fit the room you’re in. The AEQ-TP2 also features a built-in chromatic tuner that silently keeps your performance sounding its absolute best.
