A Stellar Solid-top Dreadnought

The Ibanez AAD50 is a stellar dreadnought acoustic guitar with loads of stage- and studio-ready appointments. Teeming with toneful projection, the AAD50's solid Sitka spruce top yields a commanding tone that's accented perfectly by its balanced-sounding sapele back and sides. You also get X-M bracing for added clarity, crispness, and warmth. You'll appreciate the easy playability of the AAD50's okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard, and its chrome die-cast 18:1-gear-ratio tuners ensure rock-solid intonation that you can count on. For a reliable acoustic guitar that won't drain your wallet, look no further than the Ibanez AAD50.

Spruce top gives your guitar punch and projection

Thanks to its powerful, muscular tone, spruce is the classic top wood choice for big-bodied dreadnoughts. That's why Ibanez chose Sitka spruce for the AAD50's top. This solid-wood soundboard yields you a direct, punchy tone that commands attention. Spruce also exhibits near-endless headroom — no matter how hard you strum your AAD50, this acoustic guitar can take it. What's more, the AAD50's sapele back and sides give you a consistent, balanced sound with an extra helping of treble zing. The guitarists here at Sweetwater also appreciate the AAD50's X-M bracing, which adds clarity to its low end, crispiness to its high end, and an ear-grabbing warmth to its midrange.

Dreadnought body provides plenty of acoustic projection

The dreadnought body shape, like the Ibanez AAD50's, has been one of the most popular acoustic guitar body styles ever since it hit the guitar-playing world. Why? Because back in the day, guitarists had to rely solely on the natural projection of their instruments, and the dreadnought body style provided plenty of sound-slinging power. Even these days, with PA systems easily at hand, you'll love the clarity and punch of your AAD50 every time you pick it up.

Diamond in the rough ( Just needs to changes $

Craftsmanship is top of the line. Sounds great right out of the box. Don't know how they can make a guitar like this for the small amount of money. A Vencetmat bone and saddle and bridge pins from amazon 20 bucks and you got a guitar that will match any 1000 guitar. Neck is wonderful feeling on this guitar. Good base and clarity with all chords. Martin Marquis 12's silken 20/80 strings do the job for this guitar. Can't go wrong on this one
