Ibanez AEL2012 Steel-string 12-string Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Transparent Black Sunburst

A large body guitar isn't always what you want if the sound isn't right. The Ibanez AEL series, however, has the size, projection and beautiful tones that you need for any situation. The AEL is Ibanez's largest acoustic guitar body and is an excellent choice for players who want an expansive, natural acoustic sound. Plugged in, the AEL has Fishman electronics delivering a sweet cascade of acoustic tones, never harsh or tinny, ready for any stage.

If massive projection is what you're looking for, the AEL models can turn up the volume without even plugging in. The AEL body is the largest of the Ibanez AE acoustic-electric guitars, making it a great choice for un-amplified performance situations. However, when plugging in is necessary, AEL models are all loaded with the best-sounding electronics. You can't go wrong with these acoustic cannons.

Features:

Ibanez gold die-cast tuners adorn the headstock of the 12-string AEL2012ETKS.

Ivorex II nuts are stronger and more durable than bone and even harder than the original Ivorex. Ivorex II allows brilliant highs and more pronounced lows with less mid-range which makes Ivorex II-fitted guitars perfect for amplification.
