Slimmer Body Acoustic-electric from Ibanez

Always committed to designing instruments with the player in mind, the Ibanez AEG200 represents a continuation of the popular AEG series. With a reduced-depth body, this slimmer acoustic-electric is light and easy to play. The AEG50 features a spruce top with sapele back and sides — a tonewood pairing that delivers a sweet, rounded tone with a prominent low end. A nyatoh neck with walnut fingerboard offers stellar playability and response. Meanwhile, an Ibanez T-Bar II undersaddle and AEQ-TTS preamp pump out beautifully articulate amplified tone. The AEG50 also features a smooth, deep cutaway that gives you access to those higher notes up the neck.

Stellar amplified tone

The placement of the Ibanez T-Bar II undersaddle pickup captures palm hits and bass drum-like tones — great for experimental, expressive styles of play. In addition, the AEQ-TTS preamp lets you tweak your amplified sound to suit various styles, and with an onboard tuner, you can stay in tune while you perform — a feature guitarists really appreciate.

AEG body shape feels great and keeps feedback at bay

The shallow body design of the AEG50 is not only comfortable to play, but it also keeps feedback at bay when plugged in. The undersized body eliminates the boominess you get from larger-bodied acoustics, making it ideal for live performance as well as recording. And its undersized design means it's lighter, making it a perfect "campfire" guitar that travels easily.

Ibanez AEG50 Acoustic-electric Features:

  • Beautifully designed acoustic-electric with slimmer body design for comfortable playing
  • Nylon strings add extra warmth and sweetness
  • Spruce top increases note definition
  • Sapele back and sides delivers full, rounded tone
  • Nyatoh neck offers stellar playability and response
  • Ibanez T-Bar II undersaddle and AEQ-TTS preamp kicks out beautifully articulate amplified tone
  • Onboard tuner keeps you in tune during your performance
  • Ibanez Advantage bridge pins keep strings in place

Just what i needed....

Been looking for an affordable yet playable Nylon/Classical guitar for quite some time. This instrument fills the bill! although not as loud acoustically because of the shallow body, it is still quite pleasant unplugged. I will most likely use some amplification even in small settings, just to tailor to my liking. Well built as all Ibanez I've encountered, awesome for the price!

Great gift as a quality option

I've purchased through Sweetwater for a good while now and don't see any reason to ever stop! That being said, I've always received every order no more than 48 hours after purchase, often times the next day, this is meant as a gift for my wife in hopes she finds as much joy. The only negative i have is upon opening it to inspect, the #5 string had popped and almost completely unwound! I can't imagine they'd allow it to leave in such a way so quiet possibly, the FedEx team was in a hurry while loading/unloading. Rather then taint her affinity for Ibanez acoustics, I went out Xmas eve and bought a nice new set of black D'Addario nylons! Crisis averted and gift well received!

Ibanez AEG50N acoustic electric

For the price this is a great nylon string acoustic guitar . Sounds great
Rated 3/5

Great playability but doesn't project

I bought this and a Cordoba Fusion 5 at the same time. As far as the feel of the neck and the action they are very close. Unplugged the sound is vastly different. The Cordoba is beautiful and resonant with good projection. The Ibanez is not. Plugged into an amp the Ibanez is fine. I do love Ibanez overall as this is my third. I also have a Yamaha 372 which has the best sound of the three. I have also owned a Cordoba C5 and a Washburn C5CE as well. In order as far as overall the Yamaha 372 sounds the best with the Cordoba Fusion 5 a close second. Adding in the cutout and the electronics and the Fusion is my go to nylon guitar.
