Ibanez AM153FM-ATT

AM153FM-ATT. (Antique Tobacco Burst) Ibanez Artstar.

Artstar is the top series in the Ibanez Artcore range, full-blooded hollow and semi-hollow instruments for professionals or someone who just wants a really good instrument without completely breaking the bank. What distinguishes Artstar most is that it is extremely well built, good and beautiful wood and very good pickups and parts. Guitars that stand up to being compared to anything, regardless of price, on the market.

AM153FM has a slightly smaller body is a traditional 355th style guitar semi hollow-body guitar, with a continuous middle stock, just as you would expect from a good guitar made of 335th piece. This makes the guitar very insensitive to feedback/rounding even at very high volumes. A guitar that works well whether you play clean or heavily distorted and everything in between.

The guitar has a 3-piece AM Artstar Nyatoh/Maple set-in (glued into the body) neck, a medium thick neck with a round, C shaped, profile. Perfect for both solo and chord playing. The fingerboard is bound in ebony with traditional acrylic block inlays and binding. Body, sides and back of Macassar ebony.
The pickups are Ibanez Super 58, pickups that combine a soft and nuanced tone with the ability to bite when needed. Works equally well for clean and traditional jazz sounds as for overdriven blues and rock sounds.
