Artcore Expressionist
The AS is a semi-acoustic guitar built to tackle just about any genre of music you throw at it. The pickups are mounted directly to the center block for increased sustain and feedback elimination.

For more than a decade, Ibanez has continued to energize the hollow-body market with wide range of designs including everything from rockin’ semi-hollow hybrids to straight-up traditional jazz-boxes.

The Artcore Expressionist line established yet another chapter in the Artcore story. The Expressionist difference? Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58, the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield on their own Signature models. A favorite among jazz players, but as many funk guitarists have been proving, the Super 58s perform well in a variety of situations. Warmth, balanced articulation, and excellent response are defining characteristic the Super 58 pickups.

• CASE/GIG BAG: Not Included.
