After decades of building guitars for legends like George Benson, John Scofield, and Pat Metheny, Ibanez has proven its dedication to jazz guitar luthiery.
That dedication is now expressed in Ibanez's latest hollow and semi-hollow body line,
Artstar. "
Our slogan for Artstar is 'Hollow Bodies Of the Highest Order'," explains Ibanez USA Electric Guitar Product Manager
Junji Hotta. "
With Artstar we're answering the needs of the working jazz or blues player."Players who know their old school jazzboxes will immediately grasp Artstar's influences: bone nut, smokey flamed maple tops, and Ibanez's signature
Super 58 pickup. "
In other words," says Hotta, "
the concept is pure jazzbox - both well-built and inspiring."
