As part of their new Advanced Acoustic series, the AAD100 represents a bold step forward in design and tone. With the AAD100, Ibanez offers a grand dreadnought acoustic that has slightly larger overall dimensions. The result is not only a richer and brighter sound but a bump in volume! The AAD100 features a solid Sitka spruce top with okoume back and sides, plus an open-pore finish that really lets the natural wood tone come through. A Thermo-Aged nyatoh neck with ovangkol fingerboard delivers ultra-smooth response, making the AAD100 ideal for both flatpicking and fingerpicking.
In addition to the AAD100’s slightly larger overall body, it comes with Ibanez’s X-M bracing design that enhances the treble and midrange and helps to ensure a clear bottom end. The X-M label comes from the pattern itself: an intricate overlapping of X-shaped and M-shaped support. Not only does the X-M bracing give you a boost in tone, it also helps to provide support and durability for the long haul.
Ibanez not only treated the nyatoh neck to its Thermo-Aged processing which removes impurities from the wood but they also cut it to a low-oval-grip profile, giving you a smooth, comfortable ride up and down neck as you explore chords and leads. In addition, the okoume fingerboard comes with rounded edges for even more comfort. All that strumming and picking are also supported by a scalloped ovangkol bridge, making the instrument lighter in weight while improving the overall vibration when you play. Many of us here are blown away by the tone and playability of the Advanced Acoustic series, and you will be, too!
