Macassar Ebony Fretboard:

Gotoh Machine Heads:

Macassar Ebony Bridge:
The Macassar Ebony bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.
Ibanez Advantage Bridge Pins with Red Dot:
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
Gig Bag Included:
It comes with Ibanez gig bag which is designed specifically to fit and protect this instrument.
X-M Bracing with a Reinforcing Wood Plate for Body Tapping:
After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.
AE Body Shape:
Designed for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds.
Comfort Grip with Rounded Fingerboard Edge:
In order to achieve supreme playability, the neck was specially designed with Thin-C shape style comfort grip with fingerboard's rounded edge.
Scratch Pad:
You can create scratch sound with this oil-finished, solid Sitka Spruce pad, which adds another flavor on percussive sounds.
