Ibanez AE Series Acoustic Guitars for the Stage

Ibanez built the AE Series for guitarists who spend their time in front of a crowd. The thinner necks make long sets easier on the fretting hand, and the cutaway lets you reach the upper frets for solos without a struggle. When the house engineer hands you a DI, the Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez AEQ preamp put your tone-shaping at your fingertips.

Pick the branch that matches your stage routine. Standard AE models are the straightforward gigging choice. AEW guitars like the AEW120BG add exotic-wood tops that look striking under stage lights. AEG guitars go slimmer for comfort and include nylon-string options for classical and Latin players. AEWC adds another variation on the same stage-ready idea.

Players who split time between coffeehouse sets, church stages, and open mics will feel at home here, and collectors can browse the finish options. LV Guitars keeps the lineup below current, so check back for the latest arrivals.
