Ibanez AEG5012-BKH AEG Series 12-String Electro Acoustic Guitar in Black High Gloss

The Ibanez AEG5012-BKH is a sleek, stage-ready 12-string electro acoustic that delivers shimmering, chorus-like textures in a slim, comfortable body. With a bright spruce top, warm okoume back and sides and a simple, intuitive Ibanez AEQ-TTS preamp, it is built to give you inspiring acoustic tone whether you are unplugged at home or plugged into a PA.

A comfortable nyatoh neck and slightly shorter 634 mm scale make this 12-string far more approachable than many traditional designs, helping you enjoy that rich, full sound without the usual fight. Finished in a striking Black High Gloss with chrome hardware, it looks as good under the lights as it sounds through the speakers.

Comfortable 12-String Playability

The AEG5012-BKH features a Comfort Grip nyatoh neck paired with a laurel fretboard, creating a smooth, stable playing feel that makes 12-string chords and arpeggios far less demanding on the hands. The 634 mm scale length adds a slightly slinkier string tension, helping complex voicings ring out cleanly while reducing fatigue over longer sets or writing sessions.

Balanced, Musical Acoustic Tone

A spruce top provides the bright, articulate attack that lets every string in a 12-string chord be heard, while okoume back and sides add warmth and a balanced low-mid response. Together they deliver a clear, musical acoustic voice that works just as well for delicate fingerpicking as it does for big, open strums, ensuring your parts sit nicely in a band mix or solo performance.

Plug-in-and-Play Electronics

Equipped with an Ibanez T-Bar II undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TTS preamp, the AEG5012-BKH offers a clean, natural amplified sound with minimal fuss. Simple volume and shape controls let you quickly dial in a usable tone on stage, while the built-in LCD tuner keeps you in tune without needing extra gear on your pedalboard or in your gig bag.

Stage-Ready Looks and Practical Hardware

The high-gloss Black finish and chrome hardware give the AEG5012-BKH a smart, modern look that suits any stage. A laurel/walnut bridge enhances tonal transfer and resonance, while Ibanez Advantage bridge pins make string changes quicker and more secure, so you can spend more time playing and less time wrestling with hardware.
