The Ibanez AE245s solid top and all-okoume construction prove why Ibanezs craftsmanship is so renowned.

Speaking of sound the AE245 is bound to whisk you away into a world of tonal bliss. The okoume body exudes an abundance of richness and warmth granting you a stunning full-bodied tone that carries each chord beautifully. And when youre ready to give your sound some oomph youll have an Ibanez T-bar undersaddle pickup and custom electronics at your control letting you plug in and deliver pristine well-sculpted sound without any undesirable noise.
