Product Detail
The Advanced Acoustic series marks a significant leap in the acoustic guitar's long - standing tradition. It offers a completely new acoustic experience. These guitars are crafted from scratch to produce a richer, brighter, and louder tone with an incredibly wide dynamic range. The 'Grand Dreadnought' body, 5% larger than a standard dreadnought, provides more volume, a deeper low - end, and a fuller tone. It's also very comfortable to play due to great ergonomic design. Ibanez's X - M Bracing, developed through years of testing, creates a unique sound with a clear bottom, crispy treble, and a trimmed warm mid - range, along with a wide dynamic response. The Low Oval Grip Thermo Aged™ Nyatoh neck with Rounded Fretboard Edge makes chord strumming easy and enhances playability. The Functional Tapered Headstock reduces weight and improves tuning stability. The Ovangkol fretboard offers better playing comfort, and the Okoume back and sides produce a warm, woody tone when played softly and a punchy high - mid sound when strummed. This series takes the acoustic guitar to new levels, promising an exciting experience for all players.

Using your Ibanez Grand Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure it's tuned to the factory setting (1E,2B,3G,4D,5A,6E) using the Chrome Die - cast tuners. The Low Oval Grip neck makes it easy to reach and strum chords. For a warm, woody sound, try playing softly or finger - picking. When you want a punchy high - mid sound, go for strumming. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a stable environment. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity as they can damage the wood. Wipe down the strings after each use to prevent corrosion. You can use a soft cloth to clean the body, fretboard, and headstock. Check the tuning regularly, especially if you transport the guitar. And if you're not using it for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve stress on the neck. With proper care, your guitar will serve you well for years to come.
