Description
A Japanese flagship model where tradition and modernity coexist.

The Ibanez ARTSTAR series inherits the know-how of jazz guitar making cultivated with numerous musicians such as George Benson, John Scofield, and Pat Metheny, and was created to write a new chapter in Ibanez jazz guitars. It features a lineup of flagship models that represent the pinnacle of all Ibanez hollow guitar series.

In 2021, with the theme of "Develop a new thing by learning from the past" (re-examining the hollow guitar as it has been made so far and creating something new), we will be renewing all models in our top-of-the-line Prestige series, combining an old-school look with modern specifications.

- The flagship of Ibanez's hollow-body lineup, the ARTSTAR series - Original AF body - Neck constructed from African mahogany and S-TECH WOOD roasted maple - Based on an easy-to-grip U shape, the ARTSTAR series original grip shape is made slightly thinner in true Ibanez style - Headstock shape is a reinterpretation of the good old look that is once again gaining attention.
80's headstock logo design, F-hole shape, pickguard design, brass truss rod cover; hard ebony fingerboard and bridge with excellent attack and elegant appearance; laminated body with spruce top and figured anigre sides and back; multi-binding hand-decorated by craftsmen from the headstock, fingerboard, body to pickguard; Super 58 pickups, which have been Ibanez's original pickups since the late 70s and have earned a reputation among professionals; Gotoh 510 machine heads that offer exceptional stability, precision, and smooth operation; original wood tailpiece; Sure Grip III knobs that combine ease of control and high visibility; bone nut, a staple for hollow guitars, which produces a natural sound with minimal coloration; strings: D'Addario ECG24 Flatwound
