Ibanez AS Artstar Series Hollow Body 6 String Electric Guitar Overview:

The parallel histories of Jazz music and the hollow-body electric guitar are inextricably linked and manifest in the professional-grade Artstar series. The influences of these legendary instruments are immediately apparent with a bone nut ebony fretboard and Ibanez’s signature Super 58 custom pickups. The critical eye will appreciate the attention to detail poured into these instruments like the smoothness of the fretboard and the skill applied to the fretwork generally found on instruments costing twice as much. The Artstar embodies the pure jazz-box and the continual evolution the genre represents.
