Ibanez tread new tonal territory with the AJ70ME

Ibanez Acoustic Artwood
Words by Mixdown staff

In 2025, the Ibanez Artwood series ventured into entirely new territory with the release of the AJ70ME Jumbo model. This acoustic guitar features a solid Sitka Spruce top, on-board electronics, and a high-gloss black finish complemented by acrylic block inlays. It’s an amazing and accessible acoustic instrument offering pro-level features ready to roll out at your next show.

Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp w/Onboard tuner

The Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ along with a convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner and 2-band EQ, located on the instrument’s upper bout.

The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed. It also features an Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.

Ibanez Advantage bridge pins

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.
