Ibanez AAD50 – Advanced Acoustic Grand Dreadnought (Transparent Charcoal Burst)
The Ibanez AAD50 is part of the company’s forward‑thinking Advanced Acoustic series—guitars built from the ground up to deliver a wider dynamic range, enhanced projection, and rich tonal complexity. With a 5% larger Grand Dreadnought body, the AAD50 produces an impressively powerful low end, smooth midrange, and articulate highs, all while remaining surprisingly ergonomic thanks to its carefully engineered contours
Solid Sitka Spruce Top • X‑M Bracing • 5% Larger Grand Dreadnought Body
Its Solid Sitka Spruce top paired with sapele back and sides ensures a balanced tonal response with depth and clarity. The signature X‑M bracing system further enhances resonance by efficiently transmitting string vibration throughout the body, offering clear bass, crisp treble, and a responsive feel ideal for both strumming and fingerstyle
The AAD50’s Functional Tapered Headstock improves tuning stability and reduces neck twist, while Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins make string changes easier and more secure. This model stands out in its Transparent Charcoal Burst Low Gloss finish, available in select markets.
