Grand dreadnought electroacoustic guitar for left-handers
With the Advanced Acoustic series, the Japanese traditional manufacturer expands its acoustic guitar program with a dreadnought western guitar with cutaway, which due to its and 5% larger construction produces a much more powerful and warmer sound than comparable models. The Ibanez Ibanez AAD170CE-LGS Lefthand features a body made of laminated okoume, which gives the tone a pleasant warmth that is perfectly complemented by the highly pronounced midrange and treble frequencies of the solid Sitka spruce top. In addition, a well-designed X-M bracing ensures a fast sound development, as well as a rich overtone spectrum. For obliging playability, the manufacturer relies on a flat Nyatoh neck with an Ovangkol fingerboard, which is equipped with an extra-grippy low-oval profile. This allows all 20 frets to be easily reached and cleanly gripped in conjunction with a narrow nut width of 43 mm. A tapered headstock additionally provides a higher tuning stability of the 6 steel strings, which run straight over a nut and a bridge inlay made of bone, ensuring a clean intonation on the entire scale length of 651 mm. Visually, the acoustic guitar is finished with a fine wooden soundhole rosette and a gauzy low-gloss finish that allows a deep look at the fine grain of the woods used. On stage, too, the Ibanez AAD170CE-LGS Advanced Acoustic Low Gloss Natural provides a natural sound experience, as the magnetic Ibanez AP11 pickup system captures all frequencies evenly and passes them on to the amplifier unaltered.
