Ibanez AAD100 Dreadnought Acoustic, Open Pore Natural Overview
The Ibanez AAD100 Dreadnought Acoustic has a Grand Dreadnought body shape, which is 5% bigger than a standard dreadnought and produces a more powerful and richer tone. It has a solid Sitka spruce top, which produces a broad dynamic range and clear articulation, sounding good whatever style of music you decide to play, and Okoume back and sides. The AAD100 also has a 20-fret Ovangkol fretboard with rounded edges mounted on a smooth Nyatoh neck, providing extra comfort while playing, and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins which make it easier to change strings as the pins are easier to remove and replace compared to traditional bridge pins.
Overview by Ibanez
The Ibanez AAD100 Advanced Acoustic represents an important step forward in the long and storied tradition of the acoustic guitar. In what amounts to a fully reimagined acoustic experience, these instruments were designed from the ground up to deliver a richer, brighter, and louder tone, with an unprecedentedly wide dynamic range. With slightly larger than typical proportions, we decided to name this new body shape the “Grand Dreadnought.” This reinvented design achieves a superb, powerful sound, and thanks to the extensive consideration given to the ergonomics, it’s extremely comfortable to play. The Advanced Acoustic series pushes the acoustic guitar to new heights, in a way that promises an exciting new experience for all players.
