The AE295-WK's front plate is made of solid Okoumé, while the back plate and sides are made of Okoumé plywood. Carefully designed reduced X-M ribbing and rib placement ensures efficient transmission of string vibrations through the fingerboard to the body. Glued to the exotic nyatoh wood neck is a pau ferro fingerboard fitted with twenty jumbo-sized frets. The neck's narrow "C" profile and rounded fingerboard edges give players greater playing comfort, and the fingerboard surface is decorated with a wood inlay with vine leaf motifs.
Stable tuning and ideal resonance are guaranteed by the anchoring of the strings through the bone compensated saddle and the zero fret in the company's high-quality 18:1 gear ratio mechanics and pau ferro headstock. Ibanez Advantage pegs offer the benefits of easy handling and a firm string attachment over standard models. The guitar's design is enhanced by decorative touches in the form of a rosette consisting of a mother-of-pearl ring and wood lines and a logo placed on the stylish headstock.
The AP11 magnetic pickup installed to the guitar's fingerboard offers an amplified acoustic sound with preserved dynamics, natural response across the entire frequency spectrum and minimal susceptibility to feedback. The character of the sound can be shaped using the Tone and Volume controls discreetly located in the guitar's headstock.
