Ibanez Advanced Acoustic Grand Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric

The Ibanez Advanced Acoustic Grand Dreadnought is a modern reimagining of the classic dreadnought — bigger, bolder, and built for today’s stage player. With a solid Sitka spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, innovative X-M bracing, and dual-output electronics, this guitar delivers powerful projection, clarity, and real-world versatility.

At Roxy Music, every acoustic guitar receives a full professional setup before shipping. We’ve been helping musicians since 1939, and with over 2,800 five-star reviews on Reverb, you can buy with confidence knowing your instrument will arrive dialed in and ready to play.

Grand Dreadnought Power

Ibanez redesigned the traditional dreadnought from the ground up. The Grand Dreadnought body is approximately 5% larger than a standard dreadnought, giving you:

• More overall volume
• Stronger low-end response
• Expanded dynamic range
• Comfortable, ergonomic feel

The solid Sitka spruce top provides shimmering highs, focused mids, and full-bodied lows, while flamed maple back and sides add brightness, clarity, and eye-catching visual appeal.

X-M Bracing & A.I.R.port Innovation

The carefully engineered X-M bracing system efficiently transfers vibration for clear lows, crisp highs, and a controlled, warm midrange. It responds beautifully to both light touch and aggressive strumming.

Ibanez’s A.I.R.port system reflects and directs sound toward the player, making it easier to hear yourself clearly without sacrificing projection to the audience. An A.I.R.port cover is included.

Stage-Ready Electronics

• Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup
• Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with onboard tuner
• 2-band EQ for quick tone shaping
• Balanced XLR output and standard 1/4" output

Whether you’re plugging into a PA via XLR or running into an acoustic amp, this guitar is ready for live performance or recording.

Comfort & Playability

• Low Oval Grip Okoume neck for smooth chord work
• Maple fretboard with bright attack and definition
• 650mm (25.6") scale length
• Chrome die-cast tuners with 18:1 ratio

The neck profile makes long sets comfortable, and the maple fretboard adds snap and articulation that pairs perfectly with the spruce and maple body combination.
