In 2022, Ibanez launched the AAD50, a model of its Advanced Acoustic series produced in China. The AAD50 features a grand dreadnought body shape constructed of a solid Sitka spruce top with X-M bracing on laminated Sapele sides and back with a low gloss finish. The soundhole is round with a black and white multi-rosette with binding and the top is bordered with wooden purfling and black binding. It has an Okoume neck with a 20-fret Purpleheart fingerboard with a rounded edge, white dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include a purpleheart bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a bone nut, a black pickguard and chrome Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.
