The AE245JR-OPN is a short-scale model with a shorter scale and a smaller body suitable for players with a more petite build. The front of the guitar is made of solid okoumé, the back and sides of okoumé overmolded. The resonance of the top is aided by the reduced Scalloped X ribbing. A catalox fingerboard with 20 frets is glued to the exotic nyatoh neck. A convenient bottom cutaway makes it easy to play at the higher positions of the fingerboard.
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 gears and catalox 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 composed of mother-of-pearl ring and maple lines, and double-sided perimeter body binding.
The guitar's sound system is provided by an Ibanez T-bar pickup with an Ibanez Custom preamp. The guitar comes in a gig bag.
