Ibanez AE245-NT Natural

Ibanez AE: A Flagship Series Focused on Guitarists' Inspiration

Coming from a tradition of stringed instruments, this guitar is part of the Ibanez AE series, designed to meet current expectations: superior playing comfort, expressive acoustics, and reliable electronics. The goal is clear: to offer an electro-acoustic capable of supporting evolving styles, with an inspiring instrument ready for recording or stage performance.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

Thanks to its AE format and comfortable neck, this Ibanez is aimed both at intermediate guitarists seeking a serious electro-acoustic and at advanced musicians who want a responsive guitar that's easy to set up. Its warm character is particularly suited to pop, folk, vocal accompaniment, fingerstyle, and pick-based rhythms, with great balance across the entire spectrum.

Sound

The solid mahogany top delivers a round attack, present upper mids, and a naturally musical compression feel, ideal for steady and controlled playing. The mahogany back and sides reinforce this warm signature, with clean lows and focused projection. The carved X-bracing enhances resonance and dynamics, resulting in an instrument that responds well to nuances. When plugged in, the guitar relies on the Ibanez T-bar pickup and Ibanez Custom Electronics preamp to maintain precise articulation and balanced output, practical for rehearsals, stage, or home studio.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For amplification, a 6.35 mm instrument cable is required via the endpin output. For electronics power, have 2 spare CR2032 lithium batteries (3V) on hand to avoid interruptions during concerts or sessions.
