It combines the design features of a vintage guitar with Ibanez's own Super 58 pickups for a vintage-inspired bite and smooth sound, depending on your control adjustments. The hollow body gives a lovely warmth and resonance; it is crafted from spruce and flamed maple for a quick response to every input from the player. A mahogany/maple neck is glued into the body to give optimum vibration transfer and a wonderfully ergonomic left-hand feel. The AF200's 22 medium frets are finished with the Artstar Fret Edge Treatment which gives them a rounded surface and a glass-like polish for a liquid-smooth fingering action.

Many other features also help enhance the professional playability of the AF200 including Sure Grip III control knobs and Gotoh tuners.

Hollow Body & Resonant Tonewoods

The AF200 is designed to offer the warmth, resonance, and a complex tone with plenty of "air". Its hollow body design gives your sound incredible nuance and the guitar has a strong response to every little detail of your playing. The AF200 has a spruce top that creates a bright and open sound, while the flamed maple body assists with the guitar's brightness and sustain. The top and back are finished with a stunning brown sunburst finish that is highly reminiscent of many classic guitar designs.

A mahogany/maple neck keeps the guitar stable while enhancing the sustain and resonance. The ebony fingerboard adds low-end articulation to your notes, so you'll be rewarded with a fast pick-attack for any style of playing.

Smooth Playability

The AF200 features 20 frets that are finished with Ibanez's Artstar Fret Edge Treatment. This gives them a rounded shape and a wonderfully smooth playing surface, helping you create liquid-smooth vibratos and slides. The neck has a comfortable and balanced neck profile that is 20mm thick at the 1st fret, gradually increasing to 22mm by the 12th fret.

The fingerboard features a 305mm radius for an ideal balance between chordal comfort and soloing capabilities. The guitar is factory-loaded with flat-wound strings for an authentic blues/jazz feel, while the hollow body enables a light weight, with smooth contours guaranteeing great player-comfort whether stood-up or sat-down.

Classic Design Features

The AF200 is designed with the best of vintage aesthetics and hardware appointments. It features a classic f-hole body with cream binding, tortoiseshell-coloured pickguard and thoroughly classy abalone fingerboard inlays. The bridge is ebony with a jazz-box guitar style dual-adjustment thumb screws, while the AR tailpiece adds to the elegant aesthetics.

The AF200 also has Sure Grip III control knobs which enhance the vintage vibe and provide you with confident and precise control adjustments. The gold-coloured hardware contrasts beautifully with the brown sunburst finish and makes sure that you'll definitely stand out from the crowd.

Quality Hardware and Super 58 Pickups

Gotoh tuners ensure accurate tuning with great stability over long performances. The bone nut gives a low-friction surface for your strings to rest and provides enhanced sustain. The AF200 is loaded with Super 58 pickups which provide a low-medium output for the ideal balance of clean nuance with the capability of being driven into overdrive.

The pickups are wired with a 3-way selector and each have independent volume and tone controls to get the exact tone you require. The dual humbucker arrangement lets you achieve biting bridge-position sounds, warm and mellow neck-position tones, and every possibility in-between.
