The front of the AAD50CE-LG electroacoustic guitar is made from solid Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are made from plywood sapele, a wood visually and botanically related to real mahogany. A purpleheart fingerboard with twenty frets is glued to the okoumé neck. The resonance of the top is supported by modified X-M ribbing, which optimally transmits the vibrations of the strings throughout the body. A deep body cutout (Advanced Access Cutaway) ensures good matching even at higher fretboard positions.
The strings are anchored via a plastic zero fret and saddle in chrome Die-Cast mechanisms with an 18:1 gear ratio and a purpleheart headstock. Ibanez Advantage pegs offer the advantages of easy handling and a solid string fit over standard models. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by traditional elements in the form of a rosette composed of black and white rings and a black pickguard.
The instrument's sound is provided by an Ibanez T-bar pickup and an AEQ-TP2 preamp with a two-band EQ and built-in tuner. The signal from the guitar can be output via a standard instrument cable (Jack 6.3 mm) or a balanced XLR output.
