Ibanez AE100-DBF

The Ibanez AE100-DBF is a 6-string acoustic-electric guitar from the AE series, featuring Ibanez's contemporary AE body with a slightly shallower body depth for improved comfort and playability. Its solid Sitka Spruce top is paired with Okoume back and sides, delivering a balanced and responsive acoustic tone with clear highs, tight mids and a full low-end response. X-M Bracing is designed to provide strong projection and clear low-frequency response, making the guitar suitable for strumming, fingerstyle playing, songwriting and live performance.

The guitar features a Comfort Grip Nyatoh neck with a Rounded Fretboard Edge, paired with a Laurel fretboard and scalloped Laurel bridge. Its 634 mm (25") scale length, 43 mm nut width and 400 mm fretboard radius provide a comfortable playing feel. The 20-fret design uses specially designed inlays and an Abalone soundhole rosette, while the A.I.R.port helps direct reflected acoustic sound toward the player for improved monitoring while playing.

For amplified performance, the AE100-DBF is equipped with an Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp with an onboard tuner. The system provides convenient 2-band EQ controls along with a built-in digital tuner, while balanced XLR and 1/4-inch outputs allow connection to acoustic amplifiers, PA systems and recording equipment. Chrome die-cast tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio, Ibanez Advantage bridge pins and D'Addario XTAPB1253 strings complete the instrument. Its Dark Tide Blue Flat finish gives the guitar a distinctive modern appearance.
