AEG20II Vintage Violin (more images)

The AEG20II is an AEG series acoustic/ electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2012. It was produced in China and replaced the similar AEG20E.

The AEG20II features a thinner grand concert shaped body with a soft Venetian cutaway. The top is laminated flamed maple or flamed sycamore with black and white binding on sapele back and sides with a high gloss finish. The round soundhole has an abalone rosette. It has a satin-finish mahogany neck with a 25" scale, 21-fret rosewood fingerboard with small white dot position markers. Components include a plastic saddle in a rosewood bridge, Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut, and gold Ibanez die-cast tuning machines with half moon buttons. Electronics consist of a Fishman Sonicore pickup connected to an Ibanez AEQ-SP1 preamp with onboard tuner powered by a 9V battery and ¼" output jack.

For 2019 the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with laurel and the mahogany neck was replaced with nyatoh.

The AEG19II is a similar model with chrome tuners.

The AEG20II was discontinued after 2019.
