Quick Product Summary

The Ibanez AEG721-BOT is a distinctive 7-string electro-acoustic guitar designed for players who want to extend an acoustic setup into a deeper register without sacrificing comfort or amplified versatility. Its additional low B string adds extra depth for extended-range chords, alternative arrangements, solo performance and modern acoustic styles.

A spruce top and sapele back and sides provide a clear, balanced acoustic foundation, while the slim AEG body and cutaway make the guitar comfortable to play both seated and standing. Fishman electronics, an Ibanez preamp with onboard tuner and both XLR and standard jack outputs make it particularly well suited to live performance and recording.

What Makes the Ibanez AEG721-BOT Special?

The defining feature is its 7-string acoustic configuration. Factory tuned with an additional low B beneath the conventional six strings, the AEG721-BOT gives players access to deeper bass notes, wider chord voicings and extended-range arrangements while retaining the familiar layout of a standard acoustic guitar.

Its performance-focused specification adds considerably to that versatility. A Fishman S-Core pickup works with the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp, giving you volume, bass and treble adjustment alongside a built-in tuner. Separate balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs also make connecting directly to acoustic amplifiers, mixers, PA systems and recording equipment straightforward.

Who Is It For?

The AEG721-BOT is an excellent choice for:

• Guitarists moving from 7-string electric guitar into acoustic music
• Modern acoustic and progressive players
• Solo performers wanting an extended bass range
• Singer-songwriters looking for alternative chord voicings
• Players experimenting with lower-register arrangements
• Live musicians who require flexible amplified connectivity
• Recording guitarists looking for an unusual acoustic texture
