Spruce remains the most popular wood for acoustic guitar tops, mainly due to its pristine tonal clarity. Meranti back and sides provide a warm and balanced tone. The Nandu Wood fretboard provides a rich and warm tone. The Nandu Wood bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone. The Ibanez Undersaddle Pickup accurately reproduces the acoustic nature of the guitar. AEQ-2T preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the frequencies of Bass and Treble, and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in.
