Grand Dreadnought Design and Classic Tonewoods for Rich, Powerful Sound
Built around Ibanez's innovative Grand Dreadnought body, the AAD58E delivers the bold projection, enhanced comfort and expansive dynamic range that define the Advanced Acoustic platform. A solid Sitka spruce top provides excellent clarity, balance and responsiveness, while rosewood back and sides contribute warmth, depth and rich harmonic complexity. Working together with Ibanez's X-M bracing, these carefully matched elements maximize vibration transfer for a full, expressive acoustic voice that remains equally rewarding for relaxed practice sessions, songwriting and live performance.
Okoume Neck for Comfortable, Confident Playability
The AAD58E's Low Oval Grip okoume neck is designed to make everything from open chords to more intricate passages feel natural and comfortable.

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.

Together, they make the AAD58E equally capable as a live performance instrument or a reliable recording companion.
