Features:
- A.I.R.port: Our R & D team designed this with a unique internal structure. It reflects sound waves and guides them out of a precisely placed sound hole, so you can hear your playing more clearly and enjoy the experience better.
- Advanced Auditorium Body: Inspired by the idea of 'Reimagining Acoustic Experience', we refined the Auditorium body shape. The slightly wider waist moved towards the neck gives richer low - mids and better body - to - weight balance.
- X - M bracing for AAM series: After over two years of work, Ibanez created the X - M bracing for Advanced Auditorium guitars. It efficiently transfers string vibration, provides a wide dynamic range, and balances tones well.
- Solid Sitka Spruce top: It offers a huge frequency range with shimmering highs, tight mids, and a full low end.
- Sapele back and sides: They give a full - bodied, warm mid - range and a bright tone.

- Purpleheart fretboard: It adds beauty and rich tonal character.
- Purpleheart bridge: It transfers string vibration directly, for a natural and warm tone.
- Functional Tapered Headstock: The new shape is light, with straight string alignment for better tuning stability and less neck twisting.
- Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins: They're easier to handle than old - fashioned pins, with a special end to grip and stay in place.

Using your Ibanez AAM50 - OPN Advanced Auditorium Acoustic Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure it's tuned to the factory settings (1E,2B,3G,4D,5A,6E). You can use the Chrome Die - cast tuners to adjust the tuning. The Low Oval Grip Okoume neck makes it easy to strum chords, so just place your fingers on the fretboard and start playing.
When it comes to the A.I.R.port, it's designed to enhance your playing experience by making the sound clearer. You don't need to do anything special with it, just enjoy the improved sound.
As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. If you need to change the strings, the Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins are easy to remove and replace. Just grab the special bulb - shaped end and pull gently.
Also, check the tuning regularly, especially if you're playing frequently. Over time, the strings may stretch and the tuning may change. If you notice any issues with the guitar, like loose parts or strange noises, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician for inspection.
