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. - Neck type: Artstar 3pc Mahogany/Maple set-in neck - Body: Maple top/back/sides - Fretboard: Bound Ebony fretboard w/Acrylic & Abalone block inlay - Fret: Medium frets w/Artstar fret edge treatment - Bridge: ART-1 bridge - Tailpiece: Quik Change III tailpiece - Neck pickup: Super 58 (H) neck pickup (Passive/Alnico) - Bridge pickup: Super 58 (H) bridge pickup (Passive/Alnico) - Nut: Bone nut - Hardware color: Gold - Hardshell case included.
