The AEG Series: Modern Comfort and Plug-and-Play Efficiency
This 12-string fits the AEG spirit: an electro-acoustic guitar designed for ease of play and amplified use. Its AEG body shape, slimmer than a traditional large body, promotes comfort and reduces fatigue during long sessions while maintaining balanced projection for both home practice and stage performance.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This Ibanez AEG 12-string is perfect for beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking a straightforward and enjoyable electro-acoustic, as well as for stage musicians wanting a reliable 12-string for plugging in. It excels in folk, pop, acoustic rock, singer-songwriter accompaniment, and arpeggio textures, where the harmonic richness of double strings immediately adds depth.
Sound
The spruce top provides clarity and attack, particularly appreciated on a 12-string to maintain note-to-note definition. The okoumé back and sides promote a warm and even response, with present mids that help the guitar remain clear in a mix. The slim AEG body offers a quick attack and balanced output, very effective for strumming. Plugged in, the combination of the Ibanez Tbar II undersaddle pickup and the Ibanez AEQTTS preamp delivers a precise signal; the "Shape" control allows quick tonal adjustment from a rounder to a brighter sound, and the built-in tuner ensures secure tuning changes during rehearsals and on stage.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original setup, prioritize an Ibanez IACS12C string set (gauges .010/.010/.014/.014/.023/.008/.030/.012/.039/.018/.047/.027). For transport, the ICB540BK gig bag is recommended by the manufacturer. Finally, for amplification, a 6.35 mm (1/4") jack cable suits the instrument output.

The AEG series is designed for the small size, which is easy to carry and is popular with teenagers.
Good finish sound a bit muffled considering the volume of the case.Automatically translated

The guitar plays surprisingly lightly for a factory guitar. The action is as if it has already been fully adjusted.
