The Ibanez Artcore is a superb hollow body guitar crafted from exceptional flamed maple, resulting in a beautifully unique aesthetic and a revived tone reminiscent of the 50s. The maple body delivers a tone that establishes a clear, defined midrange, glistening highs and a balanced low-end perfect for chiming chords and bright sharp lead patterns. Two ‘f’ holes are positioned to add an acoustic essence to the sound and further its 1950s styling.
Classic Elite pickups

The humbuckers offer a sweet, warm tone breathing life into the guitar.

The pickups are partnered with a three-way switch and two volume and tone dials ensuring that your tone is completely customisable allowing you to add nuances and delicacies to your tone. This accumulates into a guitar that is versatile and flexible to any performers needs.
