Ibanez AEQ-2UT preamp w/Onboard tuner

Walnut bridge

The Walnut bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

Walnut fretboard

A Walnut fretboard features a well-balanced tonal character from low to high end.

Ibanez Advantage bridge pins

These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
