Ibanez AAD50 acoustic guitar

The Ibanez AAD50 represents a continuation of the Advanced Acoustic line that Ibanez launched in early 2021. These guitars are designed with a 5% larger body than a conventional dreadnought, producing a better low-end response, more volume, and better projection. The AAD50 in particular is built with a solid Sitka Spruce top, with Sapele back and sides, an Okoume neck, and a Purpleheart fretboard and bridge. The guitar offers chrome die-cast tuners, and X-M bracing. It will be available at an estimated retail price of $374.99.

Ibanez AAD50CE acoustic guitar

Next up is the AAD50CE, which is essentially a cutaway version of the AAD50 with onboard electronics. It offers the same build materials, with the addition of an Ibanez Undersaddle pickup, and an Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with an onboard tuner. It has balanced XLR and 1/4″ outputs, and will be available for a list price of $449.99.

Ibanez AEGB24E acoustic bass

Ibanez UKC100 and UKS100 ukuleles

There are two new Ukuleles in Ibanez’s lineup, including the UKC100 and UKS100. Both offer a Sapele top, back, and sides, with an Okoume neck and Purpleheart fretboard and bridge. They also both have a side sound port, and have a neck joint at the 14th fret, instead of the 12th fret. That means they’ll offer better fret access. Both ukuleles come at a list price of $179.99. So what’s the difference between the two ukuleles? The UKC100 has a concert body, while the UKS100 has a soprano body.
