The Ibanez AAD70CE-TBN takes the classic dreadnought concept and reimagines it for modern players, pairing a powerful, full-range acoustic voice with superb comfort and stage-ready electronics. With its Solid Sitka Spruce top, Macassar Ebony back and sides and innovative A.I.R.port design, this Advanced Acoustic Grand Dreadnought delivers rich lows, sparkling highs and a wide dynamic range, all wrapped up in a sleek Transparent Charcoal Burst Low Gloss finish.
Built from the ground up for performance, the AAD70CE-TBN combines a Low Oval Grip Okoume neck and Advanced Access Cutaway for an easy, inviting playing feel across all 20 frets. Plugged in, the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp with on-board tuner provide a clear, natural amplified sound with simple, effective control over your tone, whether you are on stage, in the studio or rehearsing with the band.
Advanced Acoustic design
The AAD70CE-TBN is part of Ibanez’s Advanced Acoustic series, designed to push the traditional acoustic guitar into new territory. The Grand Dreadnought body shape, X-M bracing and carefully voiced construction work together to produce a bigger, richer sound with a powerful low end and clear, articulate highs. It is an instrument that responds beautifully whether you are playing softly with fingers or digging in with a heavy pick.
A.I.R.port: player-focused projection
Ibanez’s A.I.R.port system uses a specially designed internal structure and a precisely positioned additional sound port to direct more of the guitar’s sound towards you as you play. This makes it easier to hear the nuances of your dynamics and phrasing, helping you play more expressively and confidently, especially in acoustic settings where monitoring can be a challenge.
Comfortable neck & high-fret access
The Low Oval Grip Okoume neck with satin polyurethane finish feels fast and comfortable in the hand, making chord work and extended sessions less fatiguing. Combined with the Advanced Access Cutaway, which offers a deep, straight cut from the 18th fret and a shaved side, you get effortless access to higher frets for solos, melodic lines and extended chord voicings.
Stage-ready electronics
An Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup captures the guitar’s natural acoustic character and translates it accurately when amplified. The AEQ-TP2 preamp, mounted on the upper bout, provides a handy on-board tuner plus volume, bass and treble controls, along with both 1/4″ and balanced XLR outputs for flexible connection to amps, PAs and recording interfaces.
Key Features
- Solid Sitka Spruce top with Macassar Ebony back & sides: The Solid Sitka Spruce top delivers a broad frequency range with shimmering highs, focused mids and a full low end, while Macassar Ebony back and sides add deep, piano-like bass and sparkling treble. Together they create a bold, articulate voice that works for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle.
- Grand Dreadnought body with X-M bracing: Ibanez’s Grand Dreadnought shape and X-M bracing provide increased volume, a robust low end and a wide dynamic range. The carefully scalloped bracing and optimised brace layout ensure efficient transfer of string vibration, giving you a clear bottom, crisp treble and a controlled, musical midrange.
- A.I.R.port & Advanced Access Cutaway: The innovative A.I.R.port design directs more sound towards you, improving your ability to monitor your playing and hear subtle details. The Advanced Access Cutaway offers deep, comfortable access to the upper frets, making it easier to explore melodic lines and solos higher up the neck.
- Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup & AEQ-TP2 preamp: The T-bar undersaddle pickup captures the guitar’s full acoustic character, while the AEQ-TP2 preamp gives you intuitive control over volume, bass and treble, plus an on-board tuner. Dual 1/4″ and XLR outputs make it simple to plug into a wide range of live and recording setups.
