Ibanez Advanced Auditorium Acoustic Guitar - AAM50, Natural | A.I.R.port System
Instrument Type: Non-cutaway Advanced Auditorium pure acoustic guitar
Neck Specifications: One-piece okoume neck with Low Oval Grip profile, 15.75-inch (400mm) radius, satin polyurethane finish, and bolt-on neck joint
Body Material: Solid Sitka spruce top, laminated sapele back and sides, rounded body edge binding, and Open Pore Natural matte polyurethane finish
Pickup Configuration: None (traditional pure acoustic operation)
Hardware & Bridge: Purpleheart bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, plastic compensated saddle, 11mm string spacing, and chrome die-cast 18:1 ratio tuning machines
Scale & Nut Width: 25-inch (634mm) scale length, 43mm plastic nut, and 20 nickel frets on a purpleheart fretboard with white dot inlays
High-Performance Ergonomics and Resonant Tonewood Architecture
Advanced Auditorium Body Contours and Acoustic Information Response Port
The physical foundation of this model bridges vintage tracking comfort with elite performance tolerances. Built with an Advanced Auditorium body geometry, the layout reimagines the traditional acoustic template by shifting a slightly wider waist closer to the neck joint, optimizing structural body-to-weight balance and reinforcing low-mid frequency resonance. A standout physical advancement is the integrated Acoustic Information Response (A.I.R.) sound port, a secondary structural sound hole precisely positioned on the upper bout. This dual-port architecture reflects internal sound waves directly upward toward the player's immediate field of hearing, acting as a personal acoustic monitor without bleeding unwanted proximity frequencies into front-of-house tracking microphones.
Low Oval Grip Okoume Neck and Open Pore Polyurethane Finish
The neck architecture utilizes a premium solid okoume construction that resists mechanical twist and environmental shifts, stabilizing the wood fibers against climate shifts, humidity fluctuations, and rigorous mechanical tension. This satin-finished construction hosts a flat 15.75-inch radius purpleheart fretboard, bringing a fast feel and dense mid-range snap to complex chord voicings and rapid lead passes. The Low Oval Grip profile features meticulously rounded fretboard edges that glide organically against the thumb, minimizing muscle fatigue over extended tracking sessions. The shortened 25-inch scale length reduces cumulative string tension, making multi-fret intervals smoother and single-note flatpicking passes tighter across all 20 frets.
Advanced Projection Dynamics and Balanced Acoustic Performance
Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Sapele Body Architecture
Sonically anchored by a solid Sitka spruce top braced with a proprietary X-M structural configuration, the instrument delivers an expansive dynamic range with exceptional note separation. Paired with sapele back and sides, the guitar generates a broad frequency range stacked with shimmering highs, warm, focused mids, and a crisp, punchy low-end response. The Open Pore Natural matte finish allows the wood pores to remain unchoked by heavy lacquer build-up, letting the soundboard vibrate with maximum acoustic efficiency and organic sustain. This pure acoustic projection makes it an ideal platform for raw microphone tracking in pristine studio environments.
Integrated X-M Bracing Footprint and Advantage Bridge Pins
The interior is structured with a specialized scalloped X-M bracing pattern designed explicitly to match the Advanced Auditorium perimeter, allowing string vibrations to distribute evenly to the purpleheart bridge. This custom architecture efficiently transmits structural energy while slightly scooping the midrange frequencies for a more balanced overall mix. The bridge is outfitted with Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, which utilize a bulb-shaped end to prevent over-insertion while keeping the string ball-end locked firmly against the bridge plate. This reliable mechanical termination locks the string alignment securely, providing a dependable acoustic platform for both aggressive rhythm strumming and microtonal fingerstyle configurations.
