BLACK SEMIACOUSTIC GUITAR
The AS is a semi-acoustic guitar built to tackle virtually any style of music. The pickups are mounted directly to the center block to increase sustain and eliminate feedback. The parallel histories of jazz music and the hollow body electric guitar are inextricably linked and manifest themselves in the professional-level Artstar series. The influences of these legendary instruments are immediately apparent with the bone nut, ebony fingerboard and custom Ibanez signature Super 58 pickups. The critical eye will appreciate the attention to detail that goes into these instruments such as the smoothness of the fingerboard and the skill applied to the frets, usually found on instruments twice the price. The Artstar embodies pure jazz-box and the continuous evolution that the genre represents.
The Quik Change III tailpiece allows for quicker and easier string changes. The Gibraltar Performer bridge offers rich sustain and tuning stability. The low-positioned saddles promise comfortable playability.
The 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple neck provides a rich low-mid range and great resonance. The Macassar Ebony produces tight lows and mids along with a strong high-end attack and a quick response with rich sustain. The Basswood top offers a natural and flat, yet accurate sound. The Bocote back and sides give this guitar an exotic look and add a powerful, warm sound. The Super 58 pickups feature moderate output and vintage tone.
