AE325 Natural Low Gloss

The AE325 is an AE series acoustic/electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2020. It was produced in China.

The AE325 features a Venetian cutaway body shape constructed of a solid Sitka spruce top with standard X-M bracing on laminated flamed okoume sides and back with a low gloss finish. The soundhole is round with an abalone and wooden rosette, soundhole binding and a clear pickguard. It has an African mahogany and pau ferro Comfort Grip neck with a 20-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard with rounded edges, special wooden vine position markers and Luminlay side dots. Components include a compensated bone saddle in a scalloped Macassar ebony bridge with Ibanez Advantage pins, a bone nut, and chrome die-cast tuning machines.

Electronics consist of a T-bar undersaddle pickup and an Ibanez AP11 magnetic pickup mounted at the neck connected to an Ibanez Custom Electronics preamp and volume and tone controls. It has dual outputs; if used alone the ¼" endpin output delivers a mix of the magnetic and piezo pickups or the piezo and magnetic signals can be delivered separately using both jacks.

For 2021 the body was very slightly enlarged.

The AE325 was discontinued after 2023.
