Specifically, the Artcore Expressionist instruments offer a warm, balanced sound with excellent dynamic response from the popular Ibanez Super 58 passive humbuckers with alnico magnets. Their satisfied "users" include jazz guitar legends such as Pat Metheny and John Scofield, as well as funk player Eric Krasno.
The body of the instrument is made of a spectacular laminated ash (Quilted Ash) with an impressive wood grain. An ebony fingerboard is glued to the three-piece maple neck and exotic nyatoh wood, fitted with Medium-sized frets and position blocks. Tuning stability and good sustain are guaranteed by a solid Gibraltar Performer headstock and VT06 stringers. The stylish look is accentuated by bright binding, tortoiseshell pickguard, gold hardware and logo on the headstock.
