The AAM50CE in Open Pore Natural shows off the solid Sitka spruce top and sapele body in their most honest form. Without heavy lacquer, the wood resonates more freely, and you can feel the grain under your hands as you play. The Advanced Auditorium body shape is Ibanez's refined take on the classic auditorium, with a wider waist that produces noticeably richer lows and mids.

Scalloped X-M bracing -- developed over two years of prototyping -- maximizes the top's vibration for clear treble, warm mids, and impressive dynamic range. The A.I.R. player-facing sound port lets you hear the full character of the guitar as you play. With the T-bar undersaddle pickup, AEQ-TP2 preamp, and both 1/4" and XLR outputs, this guitar transitions seamlessly from the practice room to the stage. A refined instrument for the discerning acoustic player.
