Ibanez AAM100E-BK Advanced Auditorium - Black

Acoustic Guitar with Pickup – Ibanez AAM100E-BK

The Ibanez AAM100E-BK is a western-style acoustic guitar with built-in pickup, part of the Advanced Auditorium series. The series is developed with carefully selected tonewoods and precision construction, offering a balanced sound and comfortable playability both on stage and in the studio.

Construction and Sound

This model features a solid Sitka spruce top with sapele back and sides, providing a natural and even frequency response. The specially designed X-M bracing contributes to a wide tonal range and clear projection, with long sustain suitable for both fingerstyle and pick playing.

The rounded body edges ensure comfortable handling, while the abalone rosette and bone nut and saddle provide tuning stability and accurate intonation.

A.I.R. Port System

Equipped with Ibanez A.I.R. Port (Acoustic Information Response), this model includes a side-mounted sound port designed to improve the player’s monitoring experience. The construction uses angled wooden blocks to direct the sound through the port, delivering a clear and natural tone without affecting the guitar’s acoustic resonance.

Electronics and Connectivity

The AAM100E-BK includes a compact AEQ-TP2 preamp with built-in tuner and Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup. The system minimizes impact on the acoustic tone, producing a stable, natural, and noise-free amplified sound. Balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs provide flexible connectivity for different setups.

Neck and Playability

The neck is made from thermo-aged African mahogany with a low oval profile and rounded fingerboard edges for a smooth feel. Together with a rosewood fingerboard and scalloped bridge, it offers stable playability. With a 634 mm scale length and 43 mm nut width, the guitar suits both rhythm and lead playing styles.
