Description
Comes in a Gretsch hardshell case, which shows heavy cosmetic wear, but is structurally sound and 100% functional.
With vintage guitars as popular as they’ve become, their cost has skyrocketed in recent years. Even relic’d new guitars are often outrageously over-priced. Ibanez offers Artcore Vintage—the alternative to pricey vintage instruments. The Artcore Vintage “aging” process applies to hardware and other appointments, as well as the body, giving each guitar a convincingly real, worn appearance.
The Ibanez Artcore Vintage Series AFV10A Hollowbody Electric Guitar has many features that players seek in an archtop. The maple body is lightly aged with a width of 15.75″ at the lower bout and a set mahogany neck. The rosewood fingerboard is bound and sports 20 medium frets with aged white block inlays. Electronics include Classic Elite pickups from Ibanez and individual controls. All of the hardware is aged, from the trapeze tailpiece to the pickup overs and tuners, adding to the distinguished look of this jazzbox.
