Combined with a grand dreadnought body shape, the AAD1012E offers delightful tone packed with depth and plenty of projection. You’ll appreciate the easy playability of the AAD1012E’s nyatoh neck and ovangkol fingerboard, and its chrome die-cast 18:1-gear-ratio tuners ensure rock-solid intonation that you can count on. Top this acoustic off with Ibanez Custom Electronics and you’re equipped to bring these 12 strings to any studio or stage.

What’s grander than a dreadnought?

In search of a grander projection and a more robust low end, Ibanez reimagined the dreadnought from the ground up, landing on the shape of the grand dreadnought. This body shape, five percent larger than a standard dreadnought, delivers rich tone, supreme volume, and that powerful low end response they were seeking. Combine this shape with Ibanez X-M bracing and you’ll be treated to crisp treble and a warm midrange to compliment the power of the body shape. The AAD1012E takes it further by adding warm, woody okoume to the back and sides, which ensures a lovely sound whether you’re fingerpicking or playing lush chord structures. Lastly, the AAD1012E offers a Low Oval Grip Thermo Aged nyatoh neck with rounded fretboard edges that deliver superior playability.

Electronics to keep you plugged in

When its time to change gears the AAD1012E can shift right along with you, thanks to its Ibanez Custom Electronics that offer volume and tone control for plugged-in sessions. The highly responsive Ibanez AP11 magnetic pickup won’t color your sound with unwanted tones; instead, it delivers plugged-in sound that exhibits the natural acoustic tones of your guitar without inhibiting the spruce top’s resonance.
