A Modern Performance-minded Powerhouse
Complete with a truly top-end arrangement of premium tonewoods, the Ibanez AE390’s bold looks and crisp tone are sure to command the attention of any audience. This guitar’s top-tier tonewood duo offers a distinctive combination rarely seen on guitars of any price point: German spruce and gorgeous flame maple, providing you with an exceptionally articulate tone that’s brimming with bell-like highs, touch-sensitive response, and superb string-to-string balance. Next, a rosewood fingerboard, Comfort Grip maple neck, and deep body cutaway supply a sleek and high-performance feel from the open position to the highest reaches of the AE390’s upper register. Meanwhile, when it’s time to plug in, you’ll benefit from the stage-ready Ibanez electronics system and A.I.R.port for superior sonic feedback. Sitting at the ready to hit the stage or cover your next studio session, the Ibanez AE390 is a thoroughly modern reimagining of the acoustic-electric guitar that seamlessly merges eye-catching aesthetics with superlative acoustic-electric performance.
Top-tier tonewoods
Boasting a brilliant treble-tinged tone, the maple back and sides that comprise the Ibanez AE390’s body deliver an extraordinarily defined and articulate sonic voice. Maple is an all-time classic tonewood that’s championed at Sweetwater for its sweet string-to-string balance and crisp high end, making it particularly well-suited for cutting through a dense band mix or strumming along with light accompaniment. Paired with the maple back and sides is a premium solid German spruce top — a highly revered strain of spruce that emboldens the AE390 with bell-like trebles and an incredibly dynamic response.
Cutting-edge A.I.R.port
Whether you’re strumming through tunes on the couch or woodshedding your next performance piece, the Ibanez AE390’s A.I.R.port (Acoustic Information Response) makes solo playing a joy with superior sonic feedback. While most acoustic guitars project solely through their soundhole — and away from your ears — Ibanez’s A.I.R.port-equipped guitars sport a secondary soundhole on the upper bout pointed directly toward your ears. This design offers a more pleasing and full-sounding tone in both the seated and standing positions and a brilliant aural snapshot of what your audience hears on the other end!
