Overview

Ibanez gives the AEG50N a simplified preamp with only two knobs on a compact-bodied nylon-string acoustic-electric. A spruce top, sapele back and sides and a slim neck complete a build the maker says has been accepted for its easy playability.

Easy control and slim playability are the points, with a preamp that moves from low, fat tones to bright, crisp ones using a single knob. Body depth is not given in the listing.

Who it's for

Guitarists who like a slim neck and a compact body, and who want to tune and adjust tone onboard at a glance. Buyers who need a case in the box or a steel-string voice should look elsewhere.

Performance notes

At-a-glance tone control means the center position gives natural acoustic sound, and moving the shape knob goes from low and fat to bright and crisp. The T-bar II undersaddle pickup equalizes the volume of each string for a balanced signal. The onboard tuner has an LCD display on the preamp.
