Six Strings of Advanced Projection
Sound your best with the AAD50 Advanced Acoustic from Ibanez. This Sitka spruce-topped sapele instrument outputs tones thriving with articulation, top-end shimmer, and balance. Combined with a grand dreadnought body shape, the AAD50 offers delightful tone packed with depth and plenty of projection. You'll appreciate the easy playability of the AAD50's okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard, in addition to its chrome die-cast 18:1-gear-ratio tuners that ensure rock-solid intonation. When it comes to Ibanez acoustics that really shine without a massive price tag, the AAD50 is at the top of the list for many strummers at Sweetwater.

What's grander than a dreadnought?
In search of a grander projection and a more robust low end, Ibanez reimagined the dreadnought from the ground up, landing on the shape of the grand dreadnought. This body shape, five percent larger than a standard dreadnought, delivers rich tone, supreme volume, and that powerful low end response they were seeking. Combine this shape with Ibanez X-M bracing and you’ll be treated to crisp treble and a warm midrange to compliment the power of the body shape. The AAD50 takes it further by adding warm and balanced sapele to the back and sides, which ensures a lovely sound whether you're fingerpicking or playing lush chord structures.
Solid sitka spruce top for timeless tone
Sitka spruce has been a preferred top wood among luthiers for decades, thanks to its wide-ranging tonality. The Ibanez AAD50 acoustic features a solid Sitka spruce top, giving this guitar impressive projection and detail. And another benefit of a solid wood top is how it will sound even better as the years go by — the more you play it, the more the top "settles in" to its role as a soundboard, yielding more harmonic richness and depth as it ages.
