Ibanez AE170 Transparent Black High Gloss

The Ibanez AE170 represents the modern edge of acoustic design, built for players who want clarity, balance, and comfort in one refined instrument. Its contemporary AE body shape offers excellent projection while remaining comfortable against the body, making it easy to play for long sessions. A solid Sitka spruce top delivers a wide dynamic range with crisp highs and focused mids, supported by flamed maple back and sides that add brightness, definition, and visual depth under the Transparent Black finish.

Playability is enhanced by the Comfort Grip maple neck and Thermo Aged ovangkol fretboard, which feel smooth, stable, and familiar in the hands. Plugged in, the T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp capture the guitar’s natural voice accurately, with simple EQ controls and a clear onboard tuner. Designed for stage, studio, and home use alike, the AE170 blends forward-thinking construction with dependable acoustic character.
