The AELFF10 is a multi-scale AEL series acoustic-electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2016. It was produced in China.
The AELFF10 features a thin jumbo AEL body with a Venetian cutaway. The top is laminated spruce with black binding on rosewood back and sides with a high gloss finish. The round soundhole has a maple and abalone rosette. It has a mahogany neck with a dovetail neck joint and a multi-scale rosewood fingerboard with 20 fanned frets and small white dot position markers. Components include a compensated bone saddle mounted at an extreme angle in an enlarged rosewood bridge, Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, an angled bone nut, and chrome Grover die-cast tuning machines with half-moon buttons.
Electronics consist of a Fishman Sonicore pickup, an Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp with onboard tuner powered by a 9V battery and balanced XLR and ¼" outputs.
The fanned fret, multi-scale construction ergonomically coordinates with the way a player's hand angles as it moves up and down the neck, facilitating quick, comfortable playing action. The equalized string tension facilitated by the differing string lengths also helps to create a more "alive", open tone.
