Ibanez AE275BT Acoustic Electric Guitar | AP11 Magnetic Pickup Package
Instrument Type: 6-string baritone acoustic-electric guitar with Venetian cutaway
Neck Specifications: One-piece nyatoh neck with Comfort Grip profile, 15.75-inch (400mm) radius, satin finish, and dovetail set-in neck joint
Body Material: Solid Sitka spruce top, laminated okoume back and sides, ivory plastic binding, Natural Low Gloss polyurethane finish, and a clear pickguard
Pickup Configuration: Soundhole-mounted passive Ibanez AP11 magnetic pickup linked to an internal custom preamp matrix with discrete volume and tone controls
Hardware & Bridge: Pau Ferro scalloped bridge with black ebony bridge pins, compensated bone saddle, 11mm string spacing, and chrome die-cast 18:1 ratio tuning machines
Scale & Nut Width: 27-inch (685.7mm) baritone scale length, 44mm bone nut, and 20 jumbo nickel silver frets on a pau ferro fretboard with unique wooden vine position markers
High-Performance Ergonomics and Resonant Tonewood Architecture
Contemporary AE Body Contours and Venetian Cutaway
The physical foundation of this model bridges vintage tracking comfort with elite performance tolerances. Built with the specialized AE body configuration, the layout balances projection and comfort by contouring a trimmed waist with an expanded lower bout to optimize structural body-to-weight alignment and reinforce deep low-end baritone acoustic resonance. A standout physical advancement is the integrated Venetian cutaway, a smooth, rounded carve that drops the body shoulder away from the neck joint. This structural architecture allows the player's palm to navigate cleanly past the 14th fret up to the upper register frets without hitting raw body binding, facilitating effortless single-note transitions during complex performance tracking.
Thin-C Comfort Grip Neck and Rounded Fretboard Edges
The neck architecture utilizes a premium solid nyatoh construction that resists mechanical twist and environmental shifts, stabilizing the wood fibers against climate shifts, humidity fluctuations, and rigorous mechanical tension. This matte-finished construction hosts a 15.75-inch radius pau ferro fretboard, bringing a fast feel and dense mid-range snap to complex chord voicings and rapid lead passes. The Comfort Grip profile features meticulously rounded fretboard edges that glide organically against the thumb, minimizing muscle fatigue over extended tracking sessions. The extended 27-inch baritone scale length supports heavy gauge factory strings (.016 to .070) at a traditional B-to-B factory tuning, maintaining rigid string tension for tight tracking across all 20 jumbo frets.
Advanced Projection Dynamics and Balanced Utility Electronics
Low-Profile AP11 Magnetic Pickup and Volume/Tone Potentiometers
Sonically anchored by a solid Sitka spruce top braced with a proprietary X-M structural configuration, the onboard electronics deliver a powerful voice optimized for transparent acoustic reproduction and direct line-level sound reinforcement. Mounted discretely at the base of the fretboard extension, the lightweight AP11 magnetic pickup floats over the soundhole without choking the natural vibrations of the top wood. This setup captures individual string dynamics and top-board transients with flat, non-compressed fidelity while remaining highly resistant to feedback on loud stages. The internal circuitry connects to low-profile volume and tone control wheels hidden just inside the upper soundhole rim, providing immediate tone-shaping capabilities without requiring invasive body carves or large plastic preamp cutouts.
Scalloped Bridge Layout and X-M Bracing Footprint
The real power of this tonal design lies in the integration of a lightweight scalloped pau ferro bridge, which improves the vibration transfer efficiency of the soundboard by reducing raw bridge mass. This flexible bridge works in unison with a compensated bone saddle and ebony bridge pins to optimize string-to-body kinetic energy coupling, producing clear low-end, crisp treble, and trimmed, warm mid-range textures. The interior is structured with a specialized X-M bracing pattern designed explicitly to match the AE body perimeter, allowing string vibrations to distribute evenly across the okoume back and sides. This custom architecture efficiently transmits structural energy, providing an expansive dynamic range that lets baritone acoustic tracking sit beautifully as a layered color tone or a heavy foundational guitar within a dense studio mix.
