Ibanez AE170 TBK Solid Top Orchestra Acoustic Guitar w/ Pickup Transparent Black High Gloss

Balanced Acoustic Clarity With Comfortable Stage-Friendly Design

The Ibanez AE170 is built for players who want a controlled, articulate acoustic sound with a body shape that feels natural on stage and in long sessions. The AE body uses a shallower depth than a traditional dreadnought, reducing bulk against the body while maintaining projection and balance. A solid Sitka spruce top delivers a wide frequency range, producing clear highs, focused mids, and a supportive low end that responds evenly to changes in picking dynamics.

Flamed maple back and sides add definition and brightness, helping notes stay separated and clear in chord-heavy playing. X-M bracing improves vibration transfer across the top, resulting in fast response and a broad dynamic range. The Comfort Grip maple neck supports relaxed hand positioning, while the Thermo Aged ovangkol fretboard and scalloped bridge contribute to stability and efficient energy transfer. An A.I.R.port directs sound toward the player for improved monitoring, and the T-bar undersaddle pickup paired with the AEQ-TP2 preamp provides a clean amplified signal with simple bass, treble, and volume control.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the AE170 suits players who want a clear, balanced acoustic voice in a comfortable, stage-ready design that supports confident unplugged and amplified performance.
