Description
Ibanez AEL108TD NT Natural 8-String Acoustic Electric Guitar
This 8-string acoustic electric sits naturally in your lap with Ibanez's soft Venetian cutaway—designed for long sessions without shoulder fatigue. The doubled B and E treble strings expand your harmonic vocabulary while keeping hand position and muscle memory intact. A B-stock cosmetic mark at the 6th fret edge does not affect sound or playability—this is a fully functional, ready-to-play instrument.
Construction & Tone
The jumbo body pairs a spruce top with X bracing and mahogany back and sides to project warmth and clarity across a stage or into a live mix. The gloss finish, decorative abalone and maple rosette, and multi-binding give you both visual presence and the structural rigidity needed for gigging durability.
Electronics & Playability
The Fishman Sonicore pickup and AEQ-SP2 preamp with onboard tuner keep your amplified tone transparent and your tuning spot-on between sets, without tonal coloration eating into your voice. A 648 mm scale length and 45 mm nut width give the 8-string spacing room to breathe while the 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot markers stays easy to navigate on stage.
