Key Features
Product Ref: 71702
Constructed from an all maple body, the Artcore guitar produces a focused tone with an impressive sustain and character. With a clear and defined upper middle, and a high end that sparkles, the maple body is ideal for chiming chords and super bright lead patterns and also delivers a balanced low response. The archtop design delivers traditional jazz tones with an excellent midrange that compliments your playing, while the cutaway design makes reaching the upper frets comfortably easy.
The 3-piece 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 20 medium sized frets, a plastic nut, diecast tuners and aged white block inlays to provide a classic look and a smooth play.
Equipped with a set of Ibanez’s classic elite pickups, the vintage style archtop produces classic tones with a jazz vibe. The ceramic humbuckers offer sweet, warm tones that add plenty of life to the guitar, while its moderate output ensures that the sound can cut though the densest mix. Both pickups are incredibly responsive to allow each not to shine, enhancing your playing style and creating a very versatile instrument.
