When Artcore guitars debuted in summer 2002, they turned the music industry upside down. No longer were full and semi-acoustic guitars just big expensive jazz boxes for jazz players - even some of our competitors bought them (no, we're not making this up). With Artcore guitars you get an amazingly affordable price plus the quality and tone you expect from Ibanez, the guitar company with over four decades of experience making full and semi-acoustic guitars. Huge assortment of styles from big and small bodied full hollows to small bodied semi-acoustics, including the classic Ibanez Talman shape. Original design Vintage Vibrato with roller saddle bridge. All the great vibe of the classic trems - with none of their traditional tuning glitches. Medium output Artcore pickups accurately reproduce the cool, complex tones of a hollow AND work well with effects. The great upper fret access and sustain of a set-in neck at the price of a bolt-on. Note: Case NOT included.
