Ibanez AE245-NT Acoustic-Electric Guitar

AE245-NT (Natural High Gloss) Acoustic Guitar

Born from a long lineage of stringed instruments, the acoustic guitar is steeped in tradition. But music continues to evolve, and musicians demand inspiring new tools with which to carve out their own signature sound. In that spirit, we introduce Ibanez AE, our new flagship series of acoustic-electric guitars. Offering supreme tone and playability, Ibanez AE is the next step in a great tradition.

X-M Bracing

After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.

AE body shape

Designed for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds.

Comfort Grip w/Rounded Fingerboard Edge

In order to achieve supreme playability, the neck was specially designed with Thin-C shape style comfort grip with fingerboard's rounded edge.

Jumbo Frets

The jumbo frets support easy fingering.

Pau Ferro bridge

The Pau Ferro bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

Pau Ferro fretboard

Pau Ferro produces a well-balanced tonal character from low to high end.

Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup

The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins

These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
