Description
The Ibanez AJ70M1E-BK is a full-bodied electro acoustic that delivers rich, piano-like chords and enveloping textures in a sleek Black High Gloss finish. With a solid Sitka Spruce top, jumbo body and stage-ready electronics, it’s built to inspire whether you’re strumming big open chords, layering textures in the studio or taking your songs to the stage.
A comfortable Nyatoh neck and Laurel fingerboard make the AJ70M1E-BK super playable, while the Laurel bridge and Okoume body work together to produce a warm, woody response with plenty of projection. Plug in, and the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp capture that natural acoustic character with clarity and control, complete with an onboard tuner and dual outputs for flexible live setups.
Solid Sitka Spruce top
A solid Sitka Spruce top provides a wide frequency range with tight mids, full low end and waves of shimmering highs. This responsiveness rewards both gentle fingerpicking and hard strumming, giving you a dynamic, expressive instrument that will open up even more as it is played over time.
Comfortable neck & warm Laurel fingerboard
The Nyatoh neck offers a rich mid-low character and is carved for comfort across the entire 25.5-inch scale. A Laurel fingerboard adds warmth to the tone and a smooth playing surface, while acrylic block inlays give a clear visual guide up the neck.
Stage-ready electronics
The Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup accurately translates the guitar’s full acoustic sound when amplified. Paired with the AEQ-TP2 preamp, you get an onboard tuner, 2-band EQ and both balanced XLR and 1/4″ outputs, making it easy to go straight into a PA, audio interface or acoustic amp with confident, controllable tone.
Key Features
- Solid Sitka Spruce top: Delivers a broad tonal spectrum with articulate highs, focused mids and a full low end. This helps all the strings ring clearly, from delicate fingerstyle to powerful strumming.
- Okoume back & sides: Okoume back and sides provide a warm, woody character with punchy high mids and clear projection. The guitar responds sweetly to softer playing yet retains definition and presence when you dig in with a pick.
- Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup with AEQ-TP2 preamp: The T-bar undersaddle pickup captures the natural acoustic tone of the jumbo body, while the AEQ-TP2 preamp adds volume, bass and treble controls plus a handy onboard tuner. Balanced XLR and 1/4″ outputs give you flexible connection options for stage and studio.
- Comfortable Nyatoh neck & Laurel hardware: A Nyatoh neck with gloss polyurethane finish offers a smooth, solid feel, and the laurel fingerboard and bridge enhance warmth and sustain. Ibanez Advantage bridge pins make string changes easier and more secure.
