Product Overview
The parallel histories of Jazz music and hollow-body electric guitars have been manifested in the Artstar. The influences of these legendary instruments are immediately apparent with bone nut, ebony fretboard, and Ibanez's signature Super 58 custom pickups. The critical eye will appreciate the details like the smoothness of the fretboard and a skilled crimping technique generally found on instruments costing twice as much. The Artstar is a pure jazz-box that embodies the continual innovation that is Jazz.
Ibanez Artstar Prestige guitars are handmade by some of Japan's finest luthiers. The AS200 semi-hollow is the instrument jazz/fusion greats like John Scofield built a career upon. Exceptionally smooth and fast mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard, beautifully dressed jumbo frets and a slim neck. The Super 58 pickups provide a smooth growl and the Tri-sound neck pickup adds extra versatility. A classic sunburst highlights the bound flame maple body. 8 lbs 11 oz.
