The parallel histories of Jazz music and hollow-body electric guitars have been manifested in the Artstar.
The influences of these legendary instruments are immediately apparent with bone nut, ebony fretboard, and Ibanez´s signature Super 58 custom pickups.
The critical eye will appreciate the details like the smoothness of the fretboard and a skilled crimping technique generally found on instruments costing twice as much.
The Artstar is a pure jazz-box that embodies the continual innovation that is Jazz.
