The Ibanez AAD51LCE is a modern, stage-ready electro acoustic that takes the classic dreadnought idea and supercharges it. With its larger Grand Dreadnought body, innovative A.I.R.port soundhole design and X-M bracing, it delivers a powerful, full-range acoustic tone that you can hear clearly as a player and project confidently through any PA.

Part of Ibanez’s Advanced Acoustic series, this guitar has been designed from the ground up for comfort, clarity and dynamic range. A Low Oval Grip Okoume neck and Advanced Access Cutaway make it easy to move around the neck, while the solid Sitka Spruce top and Sapele back and sides provide a rich, balanced voice that works for strummers, flatpickers and fingerstyle players alike. Plug in via the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp and you get a clear, natural amplified sound with simple, effective controls and an onboard tuner.

Advanced Grand Dreadnought design

The Grand Dreadnought body has been carefully reworked to give you more volume, a richer low end and a wider dynamic range than a traditional dreadnought, while still sitting comfortably against the body. Extensive ergonomic shaping and a rounded body edge binding help reduce fatigue during longer sessions, so you can enjoy that big, room-filling sound without fighting the instrument.

Player-focused A.I.R.port & X-M bracing

Ibanez’s A.I.R.port places a secondary soundhole on the side of the guitar with a specially designed internal structure that reflects and guides sound towards you. Combined with the X-M bracing, which efficiently transfers string vibration through the bridge to the body, you get a clear, responsive tone with tight lows, crisp highs and a controlled midrange, as well as a more immersive listening experience while you play.

Comfortable neck & high-fret access

The Low Oval Grip Okoume neck with a satin polyurethane finish feels slim and fast in the hand, making chord work and single-note lines feel effortless. A deep Advanced Access Cutaway from the 18th fret, along with a shaved side, opens up the upper register so you can reach higher frets with ease for solos, melodic fills and more adventurous chord voicings.

Stage-ready electronics & hardware

The Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp give you a clear, natural amplified tone with volume, bass and treble controls right where you need them. An easy-to-read onboard tuner keeps you in check on stage, while dual balanced XLR and 1/4″ outputs make it simple to connect to a PA, mixer or acoustic amp. Purpleheart bridge and fretboard, chrome die-cast tuners and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins round out a reliable, gig-ready specification.

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.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Electro-Acoustic

Electro-acoustic guitars are acoustic instruments fitted with built-in pickups or microphones that allow them to be amplified or connected directly to a PA system or amplifier. They retain the natural acoustic tone and feel of a traditional acoustic guitar while adding the convenience of onboard electronics.

They are commonly used for live performance and recording, especially in situations where consistent volume and clarity are needed. Electro-acoustic guitars often include controls for volume and tone, and sometimes built-in tuners, making them a practical choice for gigging musicians who want an acoustic sound with modern flexibility.

Left-Handed Guitars

Left-handed guitars are designed specifically for players who fret with their left hand and pick or strum with their right. These instruments are true mirror images of standard right-handed models, with the body shape, control layout, nut, bridge, and string order all reversed.

A properly made left-handed instrument offers better comfort, balance, and access to controls, particularly on guitars with offset bodies or complex electronics. Left-handed models allow players to perform naturally without adapting technique, making them the most practical and playable option for left-handed musicians.
