From the first year of production, this Ibanez Artstar features a highly-figured burl mahogany body with a gloss Antique Violin finish and a pair of Super 58 humbuckers. The AM200 was the thinnest and smallest offering in the Artstar line, marrying the comfort and size of a solid body with the rich, open sound of a semi-hollow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeighing 7lbs 5oz, tonewoods include burl mahogany top, back, and sides with a maple centerblock, three-piece maple\/mahogany neck, and a bound 22-fret ebony fingerboard. Acoustically, this guitar offers both glassy immediacy and warmth, qualities faithfully captured by the Super 58 humbuckers. The PAF-style Super 58s are bright and bold, with a harmonically-rich midrange and sparkling highs; the bridge has a focused upper-midrange punch, with smooth, sweet sounds when toggling to the neck. This AM200 benefits from a professional setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Mahogany\/maple (3pc)\u003cbr\u003e- Shape: “Artstar AM”, measuring .810” at 1st fret, .925” at 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e- Fretboard: Bound ebony, 12” radius, split pearl\/abalone block inlays\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: Medium, no wear\u003cbr\u003e- Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e- Nut width: 43mm, bone\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners: Gotoh SG381, pearloid buttons\u003cbr\u003e- Serialization: H8-prefix (1988), printed on headstock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Body: Burl mahogany\u003cbr\u003e- Pickups: Super 58 humbucker x2\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way selector switch\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Gibraltar II bridge, Quik Change II tailpiece, burl mahogany pickguard\u003cbr\u003e- Plastics: Sure Grip II knobs, cream pickup rings\/baton switch tip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStunningly well preserved, the Antique Violin finish is exceedingly clean, and while ostensibly a “used” instrument, at nearly 40 years old there’s barely a scratch on it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original brown hardshell case is included, complete with case key.","brand":"Ibanez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50517552136448,"sku":"H804443","price":2199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/files\/medium_941d4ed4-c89e-43de-bc4a-4d3bd4680290.jpg?v=1791165965","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/1988-ibanez-artstar-am200-burl-mahogany-vintage-semi-hollow-guitar-antique-violin-near-mint-w-case","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
