Ibanez’s Contemporary Archtop series was specifically designed to meet the demands of today's cutting edge players. Selected tone woods, outstanding craftsmanship, custom pickups and reliable hardware, are all elements carefully chosen for inspiring serious and experienced players.
The Back and Sides of the AFC155 are crafted with Maple. A Spruce top enables it to produce bright, pronounced tones while maintaining that tight low end. The 15 ¾'' fully hollow body of the AFC155 is capable of producing rich and complex tones and allows each and every note to resonate beautifully. The traditional single cutaway design offers increased accessibility to the higher registers on the neck. The maximum body thickness is 3 5/8'' for optimal tone and resonance. The AFC155 is dressed in a brilliant Jet Blue Burst finish that boldly exudes sheer elegance.
The AFC 155’s slim, set-in, 3 piece Mahogany/Maple neck features a bound Ebony fingerboard topped with 20 medium frets which gives this guitar its outstanding playability. The fingerboard also features Mother of Pearl off-set block inlays which cater to the AFC155's elegant appearance. To further accentuate its exquisite looks and overall performance, this guitar features all gold hardware including gold tuning machines and an Ebony bridge that will help keep this guitar perfectly in tune. The AFC155 comes stock with a set of flat wound strings to maximize that old-school vibe.
The AFC155 houses a pair of Magic Touch-Mini humbuckers that will deliver full-bodied tones with great articulation and a quick response, along with a 3-way switch and tone and volume controls. A durable hardshell case is included with your purchase of the AFC155 for the ultimate protection.
Ibanez introduced Artcore in 2002 and has been the hollow-body guitar of choice for musicians for the last 10 years. The Artcore's combination of quality workmanship and affordability has created legions of fans from diverse genres as blues, country, rock and jazz. Musicians can find the purity of an old school style jazz-box to a hybrid semi-hollow rocker. Artcore is highly respected for its tone, sustain and the way they hold their tuning and how the series continues to push the boundaries of guitar building.
The parallel histories of Jazz music and the hollow-body electric guitar are inextricably linked and manifest in the professional-grade Artstar series. The influences of these legendary instruments are immediately apparent with a bone nut, ebony fretboard, and Ibanez's signature Super 58 custom pickups. The critical eye will appreciate the attention to detail poured into these instruments like the smoothness of the fretboard and the skill applied to the fretwork, generally found on instruments costing twice as much. The Artstar embodies the pure jazz-box and the continual evolution the genre represents.
Patterned after the legendary Ibanez metal monster, the GRG is the affordable gateway to that same combination of speed, fury, and expression. This GRG7221M’s Poplar body is cloaked in high gloss finish, and complemented by a Maple fretboard equipped with string-bending-friendly jumbo frets. Proprietary Infinity R humbucking pickups deliver the requisite fat, distorted tone metal rockers crave, while the Ibanez Fixed 7 bridge lets you take your playing to a whole other level.
