A Perfect Fusion of Tone and Style - The Ibanez AE160-VWS is a premium 6-string acoustic-electric guitar, built for players who seek rich tone and modern playability. Its spruce top delivers bright, resonant highs, while the ovangkol back and sides add warmth and depth to the sound. The nyatoh neck ensures stability and smooth fretting, complemented by an ovangkol fingerboard for comfortable playability and a natural feel.
Designed for both unplugged and amplified performance, the AE160-VWS offers exceptional sound clarity and versatility. With its elegant craftsmanship and balanced tonal response, this guitar is perfect for musicians looking for a reliable and expressive instrument.
Born from a long lineage and musical heritage, 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 flagship series of acoustic-electric guitars, offer supreme tone and playability, and represent another great chapter in the acoustic guitar tradition.
Through intensive research and development, we have designed the A.I.R.port with a unique internal structure that reflects sound waves and guides them to exit from a precisely positioned sound hole. As a result, players can monitor what they are playing more clearly, which enhances the overall playing experience.
Thermo Aged™, a special drying process, makes the Ovangkol fretboard light and harder and provides increased stability.
