The AEG Series: An Acoustic Designed for Modern Amplified Playing
With the AEG range, Ibanez focuses on comfort and efficiency in real-life situations: an easy-to-play guitar with a fast feel, designed to remain clear when plugged in. The AEG721 follows this logic with a stage-oriented approach, complete electronics, and a 7-string setup that opens the low register without sacrificing playability.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
The Ibanez AEG721 is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists (or motivated beginners) seeking a versatile electro-acoustic, particularly suited for styles where the low end matters: modern pop, alternative rock, acoustic metal, worship, dense accompaniment, as well as fingerstyle approaches requiring quick response. The wide nut and Thin-C profile favor extended chord positions and voicings on 7 strings.
Sound Characteristics
The spruce top delivers clarity, definition, and projection, ideal for maintaining articulation in complex chords. The sapelli back and sides add warm mids and pleasant brightness, useful for standing out in a mix. The Macassar ebony fingerboard and bridge enhance attack, treble precision, and immediate response feel, with rich sustain. Once amplified, the combination of the Fishman S-Core and AEQ-TP2 preamp allows quick tonal balance adjustment via the 2-band EQ, while the built-in tuner facilitates tuning changes between songs.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original specifications, prioritize 7-string phosphor bronze strings with gauges .012/.016/.024/.032/.042/.053/.070 (recommended set: D'Addario XTAPB1253 + .070). For stage use, an XLR cable is relevant to exploit the balanced output, and a spare 9V battery is strongly advised for the onboard electronics.
