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 fancy veneered maple, the neck made of three pieces of maple and exotic nyatoh wood is joined by an ebony fingerboard fitted with Medium size frets and position blocks. Tuning stability and good sustain are guaranteed by the solid Gibraltar Performer headstock, while the Quick Change III string changer allows quick and easy string changes. The stylish look is accentuated by the cream binding, tortoiseshell pickguard, gold hardware and logo on the headstock.
