The Ibanez AAD51CE-DVS Dark Violin Sunburst combines powerful acoustic sound with modern stage suitability and striking design. As a dreadnought acoustic guitar, it delivers an assertive sound volume with rich basses and a clear response. The attractive design underlines its high-quality character and makes it an eye-catcher. Furthermore, the instrument produces a lively tone thanks to the solid top, while the laminated body ensures stability and reliability in everyday use. Equipped with an Ibanez pickup including preamp, the guitar is ideally prepared for the stage, rehearsal room or recording.
In terms of sound, the guitar impresses with a balanced yet powerful response. The solid Sitka spruce top provides a high degree of dynamics and clarity and reacts sensitively to different playing styles. In combination with the X-M bracing, an open tone with defined projection and controlled resonance unfolds across the entire frequency spectrum. The laminated Sapele back and sides complement the sound with warm mids and a pleasant basic fullness. The result is a powerful sound that is convincing for both strumming and fingerstyle and asserts itself just as confidently in a band context as in solo use.
The guitar is also extremely comfortable and practical in terms of playability. The cutaway allows effortless access to the high registers and significantly extends the playing range. Meanwhile, the okoume neck with its low-oval neck profile sits comfortably in the hand and supports a relaxed playing feel. With a nut width of 43 mm, the guitar offers a good balance between comfortable chord playing and precise string separation for delicate playing techniques. The Ibanez Advantage bridge pins also make it easier to change strings. All in all, the result is a very accessible and player-friendly guitar that invites you to enjoy fatigue-free sessions.
The integrated Ibanez pickup with AEQ TP2 preamp makes the guitar a reliable choice for stage and studio. The system transmits the basic acoustic character clearly and balanced and ensures a natural sound on the amplifier or mixing console. The volume control and the two tone controls for bass and treble allow the sound to be quickly and precisely adapted to different playing situations, while the integrated tuner enables discreet and convenient tuning directly on the instrument.

Visually, the guitar impresses with its expressive yet classic appearance. The dark violin sunburst finish gives the instrument a noble depth and the high-gloss finish ensures a stylish presence. In addition, the tortoise pickguard adds a warm, traditional accent and blends harmoniously into the overall look. The design is rounded off by the finely shimmering abalone rosette, which gives the instrument a high-quality and detailed touch. The result is a harmonious design of classic acoustic guitar aesthetics with eye-catching accents.
