Key Features
Trade in your Ibanez AS153B Artstar, Black with Gear4music. This sleek semi-hollow guitar is ideal for players looking to explore jazz, blues, or even rock with a richer, more resonant tone. Trading in this model could be a strategic move if you're aiming to diversify your sound or if you're transitioning to more complex musical styles that demand versatile tonal capabilities.
Why not swap it for other semi-hollow or hollow-body guitars that offer different pickup configurations or enhanced ergonomic features? Such an upgrade can provide a fresh array of tones and improve playability, perfectly aligning with your musical growth and artistic exploration.
Product Ref: 298256
Constructed from an all Maple body the Artstar AS153B produces a focused tone with an impressive sustain and character. With clear and defined upper middle and sparkling highs the Maple body is ideal for chiming chords and super bright lead patterns and also delivers a balanced low response.
The Super 58 Pick-Ups incorporated into the AS153B are custom designed humbucker pickups designed to deliver a high output tone whilst retaining the sparkle and warmth suited for the jazz/blues playing style.
The Artstar neck profile is thinner than traditional neck styles, resulting in a more comfortable and fluid playing style.
The ART-1 Bridge found on the AS153B is paired with the Quik Change II tailpiece to create an exceptional combination that results in precise upheld intonation. This combination of components lets you change strings quickly and with ease, meaning you spend less time preparing your guitar, especially after extended periods of use.
Over the past 30 years, Ibanez Guitars have always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for Electric Guitar players pushing the boundaries of music. For decades, Ibanez designers and luthiers have been the embodiment of this ideology, pushing their skills to the edge of imagination, consistently creating some of the most versatile and unique instruments ever. Although Ibanez guitars have been made since 1908, it wasn't until the late 1980's that they began to form an identity for themselves when artists such as Steve Vai and Frank Zappa began using their instruments. Now with a huge artist clientele across the globe Ibanez are a leading manufacturer of electric guitars and basses and a first choice for many dedicated musicians.
