Introducing the Ibanez AE275BT - Natural Low Gloss, a remarkable blend of traditional design and modern innovation. This Baritone Steel String Guitar is the quintessential stage companion for today's acoustic player. Crafted for performance, the AE275BT combines Ibanez's years of research and development with their aspiration to continuously refine their series since its debut in 2016.

The AE275BT boasts the carefully designed Standard XM bracing, a result of Ibanez's meticulous development process. This scalloped X-bracing efficiently transmits string vibration from the bridge to the body, facilitating clear low-end, crisp treble, and warm mids. The AE275BT also features a baritone scale length which provides a deep low tone and elongated sustain.

The guitar's solid Sitka spruce top and okoume back and sides further enhance its sound qualities. Its playability is heightened by the Thin-C shaped neck contour and rounded edges of the fretboard. The AP11 pickup is lightweight and strategically positioned to minimize feedback, delivering a lively response throughout the entire frequency range while preserving presence and mid-range.

The AE275BT is not just about sound and playability, but also aesthetics. A wood/abalone rosette, transparent pickguard, and specially designed wooden vine inlays add a modern touch to its overall traditional design. The natural matte finish allows the wood to breathe, contributing to better resonance and overall tone.
