Ibanez AEG240 Thinline Acoustic Electric Trans Red Sunburst B-Stock 11
Description
Ibanez AEG240 Thinline Acoustic Electric Trans Red Sunburst B-Stock
The AEG240 is a studio-ready acoustic electric that captures articulate, feedback-free performances in a thin, controlled body designed for home recording and layering over electric tracks. Its compact 25" scale and shallow 2¾" depth make it exceptionally comfortable to play for extended session work, while the mahogany neck with satin finish responds naturally during tracking. This is a producer's instrument—engineered to deliver consistent acoustic texture and transient response without fighting your mix chain.
Construction & Sonic Character
Flamed maple top paired with mahogany back, sides, and neck creates a lightweight, resonant structure that stays articulate and clean at input levels. The thin grand concert body shape with soft Venetian cutaway and X-bracing delivers focused midrange and controlled projection ideal for overdubbing and layering—21 frets of rosewood fingerboard provide familiar response and intonation stability, while gold die-cast tuners lock pitch reliably through long tracking sessions.
Electronics & Recording Integration
The Fishman Sonicore pickup paired with Fishman Sonicore preamp captures string articulation and finger detail with minimal noise floor or phase coloration, controlled via simple rotary volume and tone knobs for real-time adjustment during takes. Dual outputs—micro USB and ¼"—connect directly to your audio interface or DAW, letting you record pristine direct signal without ambient room noise or mic bleed concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will those finish flaws affect playability?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional and carries manufacturer warranty, but has minor cosmetic imperfections. This unit has finish flaws on the back of the neck and near the heel—purely visual marks that have zero impact on tone, playability, or structural integrity.
Will this acoustic feedback on stage when amplified?
No. The thin, feedback-resistant body design with shallow 2¾" depth and lightweight flamed maple/mahogany construction is specifically engineered to resist feedback at volume, making it stage-ready for amplified performance.

How do I connect this to my PA system or recording interface?
The guitar features dual outputs: a micro USB port for direct recording into your computer or interface, and a ¼" output jack for connecting to a PA system or amplifier. Simple rotary volume and tone knobs control the Fishman Sonicore preamp.
Is this guitar suitable for folk and indie styles?
