IBANEZ AF2000-BS

The AF is the most traditional design within the Artcore series. The full-hollow body construction means there are no sound blocks in the body. This construction method produces a rich, complex tone, expressed with a pure voice and full body, the tonal characteristics most highly desired among the discerning Jazz player.

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.

Features:

• 3pc African Mahogany/S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck

The S-TECH special roasted treatment increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes. The neck is sealed with an oil finish which helps make it feel similar to a well-played guitar neck.

• Ebony Fretboard w/Artstar Fret Edge Treatment

Ebony produces a tight low end and mid-range with a defined high end attack. It also delivers quick response and rich sustain.

• AF Special tailpiece

The stunning AF Special tailpiece offers better tuning stability and more sustain.

• Super 58 Pickups

Super 58 pickups feature moderate output and vintage tone.
