Full Description
View Full DescriptionSapele Archtop Body
Constructed from an all sapele body, the Artcore guitar produces rich, warm tones with plenty of grind and bite. The sapele’s characteristics are balanced and soft, offering an incredible amount of depth with a full sounding low end and an appealing high end. The hollow body design delivers traditional jazz tones with an excellent midrange that compliments your playing, while the thin design makes the Ibanez an incredibly comfortable guitar to play.
Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard
The Mahogany neck and Rosewood fingerboard has been designed to offer a smooth, fast play, whilst the naturally oily Rosewood fingerboard absorbs stray overtones for a rich sound. The Mahogany/Rosewood combination produces warm, mellow tones with complex highs, thick, creamy lows, and an appealing midrange. The Artcore also features 22 medium sized frets, and white dot inlays to provide a classic look and a smooth play.
