Developed as part of Ibanez's innovative Advanced Acoustic series, the Ibanez AAD371E Grand Dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar pairs forward-thinking acoustic engineering with elegant visual appointments for players who value exceptional performance and timeless style. Its solid German spruce top, Grand Dreadnought body and X-M bracing work together to deliver impressive projection, outstanding clarity and a wide dynamic range, while the flamed maple and rosewood three-piece back adds warmth, articulation and striking visual character. A comfortable Low Oval Grip flamed maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with rounded edges and the player-focused A.I.R.port enhance both comfort and playing experience, while the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp faithfully reproduce its natural acoustic sound with onboard EQ, a built-in tuner and dependable stage-ready connectivity. Finished in high-gloss Antique White with premium appointments throughout, the AAD371E is as visually inspiring as it is musically expressive.
Grand Dreadnought Design and Premium Tonewoods for Powerful, Expressive Tone
At the heart of the AAD371E is Ibanez's Grand Dreadnought body, a modern reinterpretation of the traditional dreadnought that delivers greater projection, enhanced comfort and an expansive dynamic range. A solid German spruce top responds with exceptional clarity, balance and sensitivity, while the flamed maple and rosewood three-piece back contributes warmth, focused articulation and complex resonance. Working together with Ibanez's innovative X-M bracing, these carefully engineered elements maximize vibration transfer for a bold, expressive acoustic voice that responds naturally to every nuance of your playing.
Flamed Maple Neck for Smooth, Comfortable Playability
The AAD371E pairs a Low Oval Grip flamed maple neck with a smooth rosewood fingerboard to create a comfortable, broken-in feel from the very first chord. The slim neck profile encourages effortless movement whether you're playing intricate fingerstyle passages or first-position chords, while the rounded fingerboard edges enhance long-playing comfort. Together, they deliver a natural playing experience that makes the guitar feel equally inviting for extended practice sessions, recording and live performance.
Ibanez Electronics for Natural Amplified Performance
Designed to preserve the guitar's natural acoustic character, the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup faithfully translates every nuance of your playing when plugged in. The Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp features a built-in tuner and intuitive two-band EQ for quick tonal adjustments onstage or in the studio, while balanced XLR and standard 1/4" outputs provide flexible connectivity for acoustic amplifiers, PA systems and recording interfaces. Together, they make the AAD371E equally capable as a live performance instrument or a reliable recording companion.
Elegant Appointments and Performance-Focused Hardware
Refined appointments give the AAD371E a sophisticated appearance that complements its innovative design. An Antique White high-gloss finish highlights the beautiful flamed maple grain, while a mother-of-pearl and wooden rosette adds understated elegance around the soundhole. The lightweight rosewood scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for enhanced resonance, while the functional tapered headstock promotes straighter string pull for improved tuning stability. Gold die-cast tuners and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins complete the instrument with dependable performance and premium visual appeal.
