"TOTALLY JAMMIN’"
This guitar is a much more modern take on the highly popular AS semi-hollow design. Seen primarily in the Artcore series today, the AS has always served as the perfect hybrid for styles ranging from jazz, blues and all the way to rock. This custom is heavily influenced by the status and history of the AS and remains largely true to that, but the addition of multi-scale construction, upgraded pickups, and a slightly offset design, take this time-tested stalwart to a whole new level. The first and most noticeable difference to other Ibanez AS models is the multi-scale construction. The spread on scale lengths is 24.75” on the high E and 25.5” on the low E. The benefits offered are ergonomic as well as tonal. The design affords the player a more predictable and responsive feel and the shorter scale length on the higher strings imparts a touch of warmth, while the longer lower strings project with a clear and articulate voice. Other standout features of this custom instrument include an African Mahogany/Walnut 3pc neck, bound Madagascar Rosewood fretboard, a carved Swamp Ash top, and two Bartolini humbuckers. This instrument also employs one more, very unique construction method: the body actually utilizes chambering rather than traditional semi-hollow construction, which affords tighter, more defined low-end response.
