Ibanez Artstar AS2000 in Brown Sunburst

Presenting the Ibanez Artstar AS2000, this one in their traditional Brown Sunburst finish.

The parallel histories of Jazz music and the hollow-body electric guitar are inextricably linked and manifest themselves 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 semi-hollow designs, and the continual evolution the genre represents.

Key features of the AS2000:

Gotoh® GE101A tailpiece: The stable Gotoh® GE101A tailpiece holds your strings in tune.

Tri-sound switch: The Tri-sound switch gives a humbucker pickup three different sounds, expanding the versatility of your guitar.


Gotoh® 510BN bridge: The Gotoh® 510BN bridge is equipped with independent saddles that allow precise height adjustment for each string.

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.

Bone Nut: The Bone nut provides richer tone throughout the entire register.

Super 58 Pickups: The Super 58 pickups feature moderate output and vintage tone.

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.
