This rock-style Artcore model, inspired by modern cool rockers, has dual mini-humbuckers, a vintage vibrato, and a clear pickguard and black/white multi-binding combination characteristic of a new-style rock box. The all-maple body with distinctive gold finish is joined by a mahogany Artcore set-in neck with bound rosewood fretboard carrying 22 medium frets.
Ibanez introduced Artcore in 2002 and it has been one of the hollowbody guitars of choice for musicians for the last 10 years. The Artcore's combination of quality workmanship and affordability has created legions of fans from diverse genres as blues, country, rock and jazz. Custom Guitars can find the purity of an old school-style jazz-box to a hybrid semi-hollow rocker. Artcore guitars are highly respected for their tone, sustain and the way they hold their tuning and how the series continues to push the boundaries of guitar building.
