The Ibanez AAD58E Grand Dreadnought brings the brand's forward-thinking acoustic design to players who want rich, powerful tone and real playing comfort in a straightforward, performance-ready instrument. Part of the Advanced Acoustic series, it pairs player-focused engineering with a proven tonewood combination for a responsive, expressive acoustic experience.
A solid Sitka spruce top, Grand Dreadnought body and X-M bracing work together for impressive projection, balanced tone and a wide dynamic range, while rosewood back and sides add warmth, depth and harmonic complexity. The Low Oval Grip okoume neck and durable purpleheart fingerboard make everything from open chords to intricate passages feel natural, and the A.I.R.port directs more of the guitar's sound back toward you for improved monitoring and a more immersive playing experience.
Plugged in, the Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp faithfully translate the guitar's natural voice. The preamp adds a built-in tuner and intuitive two-band EQ for quick adjustments, and balanced XLR plus standard 1/4" outputs cover acoustic amps, PA systems and recording interfaces alike.
Thoughtful appointments round out the package: a lightweight purpleheart bridge for enhanced resonance, a tapered headstock that promotes straighter string pull for better tuning stability, an abalone rosette, chrome die-cast tuners and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. Finished in natural high gloss, the AAD58E is ready for the stage, the studio or the couch.
