Aria AD-10CE TS Acoustic Electric Guitar Dreadnought with preamp Sunburst

The ultimate stage-ready workhorse for the modern singer-songwriter—delivering punchy projection, silky playability, and studio-quality amplified tone.

The Aria AD-10CE is a beautifully crafted full-size acoustic-electric guitar designed to meet the demands of gigging musicians, recording artists, and dedicated practice sessions alike. Featuring a comfortable cutaway for effortless upper-fret access and the professional-grade Aria MG-30 preamp system, this instrument seamlessly transitions from intimate unplugged sessions to commanding live performances. Whether you are strumming open chords, fingerpicking intricate melodies, or digging into a flatpicking solo, the AD-10CE delivers the clarity, warmth, and dynamic response that Aria is renowned for.

Articulate, Balanced Tone from Premium Tonewoods
The AD-10CE is voiced for versatility. A resonant Spruce top provides a bright, punchy attack with outstanding projection and a wide dynamic range, ensuring every note cuts through the mix with clarity. This is beautifully complemented by Sapelli back and sides, a tonewood celebrated for its warm, mahogany-like midrange and rich, blooming overtones. The result is a beautifully balanced voice—crisp trebles, a robust low end, and a smooth, singing sustain that works equally well for delicate fingerpicking and aggressive rhythm playing. The Rosewood fingerboard and bridge further enhance sustain and add a touch of harmonic complexity to your tone.

Designed for Comfortable, Effortless Playability
Crafted with the performing musician in mind, the AD-10CE features a smooth Mahogany neck that offers exceptional stability and a comfortable, fast playing feel. The standard 43 mm nut width and full 650 mm (25-1/2″) scale length provide the familiar, comfortable string tension and spacing that steel-string players know and love, making barre chords, complex chord voicings, and single-note runs feel natural and effortless. With 20 frets and a sleek cutaway design, you have unrestricted access to the upper register, perfect for lead breaks and melodic solos.

Professional-Grade Aria MG-30 Preamp System
Plug in and take command of your sound. The AD-10CE is equipped with the custom-engineered Aria MG-30 preamp, a professional active system designed to faithfully reproduce the natural, woody resonance of your guitar without unwanted coloration. This powerful onboard preamp features:

• 3-Band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble): Precisely shape your tone to cut through a dense band mix, add warmth for fingerstyle passages, or dial in the perfect studio texture.

• Built-in Chromatic Tuner: Mute your output and tune quickly, accurately, and silently between songs—an indispensable tool for any live performer.

• Phase Switch: Instantly eliminate troublesome feedback in high-volume stage environments, ensuring a clean, pristine amplified sound.

• Low-Battery Indicator: Never get caught off guard on stage with a clear visual alert when your 9V battery needs replacing.

Built to Last with Premium Hardware
Aria’s commitment to durability is evident in the construction of the AD-10CE. Premium chrome hardware ensures smooth, reliable tuning and corrosion resistance for years of regular use. Durable ABS materials are used for the nut and saddle, providing consistent intonation and reducing friction for enhanced tuning stability. The stunning gloss natural finish not only protects the instrument but also highlights the beautiful, organic grain of the tonewoods, giving the guitar a timeless, professional stage presence.

• Versatile Steel-String Voice: Spruce top with Sapelli back/sides delivers a bright, punchy attack balanced by warm, resonant overtones—perfect for all playing styles.

• Professional Aria MG-30 Electronics: 3-band EQ, built-in chromatic tuner, and phase switch provide complete tonal control and feedback management for live performance.
