Ibanez AE390 AE Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Solid German Spruce, Natural Top & Aqua Blue Gloss Back

Born from a long lineage and musical heritage, the acoustic guitar is steeped in tradition. But music continues to evolve, and musicians demand inspiring new tools with which to carve out their own signature sound. In that spirit, we introduce Ibanez AE, our flagship series of acoustic-electric guitars, offer supreme tone and playability, and represent another great chapter in the acoustic guitar tradition.

Comfort Grip Maple neck with Rounded Fretboard Edge

The Comfort Grip Maple Neck contour and round edges of the fingerboard provide superior playability.

Rosewood fretboard

Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Jumbo frets

Jumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.

Solid German Spruce top

Solid German Spruce top offers sensitive tones and pristine clarity.

Flamed Maple back and sides

Flamed Maple back and sides create an attractive visual profile and offer bright and tight tones.

Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup

The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.

Ibanez Custom Electronics w/Volume and Tone Control

The guitar also features on-board treble and bass controls for contouring the tone, making it suitable for a variety of applications for modern players.

Rosewood Scalloped bridge

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins

These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.

A.I.R.port

X-M Bracing

After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.

AE body shape

Designed for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds.

Comfort Grip w/Rounded Fingerboard Edge

In order to achieve supreme playability, the neck was specially designed with Thin-C shape style comfort grip with fingerboard's rounded edge.
