This enhanced monitoring experience improves playing confidence and overall connection with the instrument.
X-M Bracing For Enhanced Dynamics
Ibanez’s advanced X-M Bracing system has been carefully engineered to maximise tonal response and stage performance. The specially scalloped bracing pattern improves vibration transfer throughout the body, delivering tight low end, crisp treble response, and a controlled warm mid-range.
The result is a highly responsive acoustic guitar with excellent projection and a wide dynamic range.
Stage Ready Electronics
The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup captures the natural acoustic character of the guitar with impressive accuracy. Paired with the AEQ-TP2 preamp, players can easily shape their sound using the onboard 2-band EQ while benefiting from a clear and easy-to-read digital tuner.
This makes the AE140-OPN an ideal choice for live performance, rehearsal, and recording applications.
