As a result, players can monitor what they are playing more clearly, which enhances the overall playing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Auditorium Body\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the concept of Advanced Acoustics - \"Reimagining Acoustic Experience\" in mind, we carefully designed the new body shape of the Advanced Auditorium, drawing on our research into the general Auditorium body shape. After many rounds of prototyping, the Advanced Auditorium body has a slightly wider waist, which has been moved slightly towards the neck. Thanks to these changes, this shape delivers a richer low mids and better body to weight balance, which conventional Auditorium bodies tend to lack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX-M bracing for AAM series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter more than two years of trial and error, research, and prototyping, Ibanez developed its proprietary X-M bracing specifically for Advanced Auditorium guitar bodies to produce the ultimate sound for the stage and studio. The carefully designed scalloped X-M bracing, tone braces, and finger braces efficiently transmit string vibration from the bridge to the body. This bracing provides a wide dynamic range and excellent response. The mids are slightly scooped for better tonal balance, and the treble has the clarity of steel strings while retaining the warmth of nylon strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMacassar Ebony Scalloped bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance, as well as providing more flexibility in adjusting the action than usual bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMacassar Ebony fretboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMacassar Ebony produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow Oval Grip Thermo Aged African Mahogany neck with Rounded Fretboard Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Low Oval neck grip facilitates easy chord strumming and the Rounded Fretboard Edges deliver superior playability.
