Instrument Type: 6-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Neck Specifications: AEG Comfort Grip Okoume Neck with 15.75-inch / 400mm Radius Purpleheart Fretboard
Body Material: Laminated Sapele Top, Back, and Sides with Open Pore Polyurethane Finish
Pickup Configuration: Ibanez Undersaddle Piezo Pickup with AEQ-2T Preamp and Built-In Tuner
Hardware & Bridge: Chrome Die-Cast Tuners with Purpleheart Bridge and Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins
Scale & Nut Width: 25-inch / 634mm Scale Length with 1.69-inch / 43mm Plastic Nut
The structural design of this 6-string acoustic-electric guitar centers around a specialized, shallow-depth AEG body profile, optimized to deliver a lighter physical frame and minimize feedback when performing at high stage volumes. The entire body shell—including the soundboard, back, and matching side walls—is crafted from selected sapele wood, treated with an ultra-thin Weathered Black Open Pore polyurethane coat. This open-pore application allows the natural grain structure of the sapele timber to breathe and resonate freely, yielding an inherently warm, balanced acoustic signature with a rich midrange focus. The body is joined to a stable okoume neck topped with a smooth purpleheart fretboard, featuring 20 frets and a soft Venetian cutaway that permits unhindered thumb navigation into upper-register chord shapes.
The hardware elements on this guitar upgrade traditional staging points to improve daily tuning management and mechanical string anchoring. The purpleheart bridge assembly utilizes proprietary Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, which feature a distinct bulb-shaped tip that prevents the pin from sliding loose under sudden string pull while seating the ball end perfectly against the bridge plate. For amplified applications, the undersaddle piezo element routes straight to a top-mounted active Ibanez AEQ-2T preamplifier network powered by a single 9-volt cell. This preamp configuration features an accessible dashboard complete with separate volume, bass, and treble tone controls, augmented by a standalone chromatic tuner display that remains active for quiet tuning sessions without necessitating a connected quarter-inch instrument cable.
