Description

The Ibanez AEG5012-BKH is a sleek, stage-ready 12-string electro acoustic that delivers shimmering, chorus-like textures in a slim, comfortable body. With a bright spruce top, warm okoume back and sides and a simple, intuitive Ibanez AEQ-TTS preamp, it is built to give you inspiring acoustic tone whether you are unplugged at home or plugged into a PA. A comfortable nyatoh neck and slightly shorter 634 mm scale make this 12-string far more approachable than many traditional designs, helping you enjoy that rich, full sound without the usual fight. Finished in a striking Black High Gloss with chrome hardware, it looks as good under the lights as it sounds through the speakers. Comfortable 12-String Playability The AEG5012-BKH features a Comfort Grip nyatoh neck paired with a laurel fretboard, creating a smooth, stable playing feel that makes 12-string chords and arpeggios far less demanding on the hands. The 634 mm scale length adds a slightly slinkier string tension, helping complex voicings ring out cleanly while reducing fatigue over longer sets or writing sessions. Balanced, Musical Acoustic Tone A spruce top provides the bright, articulate attack that lets every string in a 12-string chord be heard, while okoume back and sides add warmth and a balanced low-mid response. Together they deliver a clear, musical acoustic voice that works just as well for delicate fingerpicking as it does for big, open strums, ensuring your parts sit nicely in a band mix or solo performance. Plug-in-and-Play Electronics Equipped with an Ibanez T-Bar II undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TTS preamp, the AEG5012-BKH offers a clean, natural amplified sound with minimal fuss. Simple volume and shape controls let you quickly dial in a usable tone on stage, while the built-in LCD tuner keeps you in tune without needing extra gear on your pedalboard or in your gig bag. Stage-Ready Looks and Practical Hardware The high-gloss Black finish and chrome hardware give the AEG5012-BKH a smart, modern look that suits any stage. A laurel/walnut bridge enhances tonal transfer and resonance, while Ibanez Advantage bridge pins make string changes quicker and more secure, so you can spend more time playing and less time wrestling with hardware. Key Features Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck – The slim, ergonomic neck profile in nyatoh offers a stable, comfortable feel that makes 12-string playing more accessible, helping you fret chords cleanly and play longer without excessive hand strain. Spruce Top with Okoume Back and Sides – A spruce soundboard delivers bright, articulate clarity, while okoume back and sides add warmth and balance, giving you a full, musical acoustic voice that suits both strumming and fingerstyle. Ibanez T-Bar II Pickup and AEQ-TTS Preamp – The undersaddle pickup captures a clear, natural acoustic tone, and the AEQ-TTS preamp provides straightforward volume and shape controls plus an LCD tuner, making it easy to get gig-ready sound in seconds. Laurel/Walnut Bridge with Ibanez Advantage Pins – The laurel/walnut bridge improves tonal transfer and resonance, while Ibanez Advantage bridge pins are designed for quick, secure string changes, ideal for players who regularly gig or record.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Guitar

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.

12 String

12-string guitars use six pairs of strings, with each pair tuned either in unison or an octave apart, creating a fuller and more harmonically rich sound than a standard six-string. This paired-string design produces a natural chorusing effect, giving the instrument a wide, shimmering character.

They are commonly used for rhythm playing, strummed parts, and open chords, where their bright, layered sound adds depth and presence. 12-string guitars are popular in folk, rock, and acoustic music, and are especially valued for creating expansive textures rather than detailed lead playing.

Acoustic Guitar

Acoustic guitars produce their main sound through the vibrating strings and body. This tag includes steel-string, classical and electro-acoustic instruments across several body sizes. Construction, scale length, neck dimensions and an optional pickup system are useful points of comparison.
