Ibanez is a leading Japanese guitar brand, renowned worldwide alongside Fender and Gibson.
It is known for being a favorite of many artists, including George Benson, John Scofield, and Pat Metheny.
This model is a masterpiece from the ARTSTAR series, the flagship model of the Ibanez hollowbody line.
While at first glance it looks like a representative semi-acoustic guitar, this instrument features a fully hollow construction without a center block.
This maintains high playability while producing a warmer sound.
The body is made of maple.
It is finished in a color known as Antique Violin, and the gold accents give it a luxurious look.
The neck is made of one-piece mahogany, and the fingerboard is made of ebony.
Both are luxurious specifications made from woods that have become increasingly rare in recent years.
The neck and bridge pickups are Ibanez Super 58.
This guitar features Ibanez's original pickups, introduced in the late 1970s, producing a thick, sweet sound.
The neck pickup can be switched between series, coil tap, and parallel configurations using a mini switch.
The versatile sound is appealing.
The tuning machines, bridge, and other hardware are made by the highly reliable Gotoh manufacturer, with attention to detail.
This is a rare model that is rarely seen.
Don't miss this opportunity!
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck shows signs of high-rise, but is playable with a string height of 2.3mm-1.8mm.
The body and finish show some light scratches when held up to the light, but there is no major damage.
The pickguard has scratches, the binding is discolored, the gold parts are tarnished, and the bridge pickup's escutcheon is cracked.
The bridge has been replaced with a Gotoh GEP104B. (Original guitar included.)
