The layered body of the AEG550-BK is made of a spruce front board and an exotic bocote back and sides with a distinctive pattern. Glued to the nyatoh wood neck is an ebony fingerboard adorned with a distinctive vine leaf inlay design. A good match even at the highest positions of the fingerboard is facilitated by the lower body cut-out.
Sufficient volume for the needs of public performance or playing with a band is provided by Ibanez AEQ-TTS electronics with an integrated tuner built into the guitar's bellows and an underblock piezo pickup. The strings are mounted in Die-Cast tuning machines in gold finish with 18:1 gear ratio and ebony fingerboard. Ibanez Advantage pegs offer advantages over standard models in terms of ease of handling and firm string attachment. The nice workmanship is accentuated by the pearl rosette (abalone) and decorative inlay and company logo on the headstock.
