1980 Ibanez Artist AS50 [*Crafted in Japan]
$1,495.00
This 1980 Ibanez Artist AS50 is a beautifully crafted guitar. The overall playability and feel of this guitar is fantastic, with a resonant, lively response with tons of sustain and impressive versatility from a pair of humbuckers. It is in great condition with scuffing and minor dings, with a prominent top ding, but it is clean considering its age, with most of the original fret life left. These are a rare sight as they were only made from 1980-1981, so don't miss your chance to snag this elusive budget-friendly workhorse archtop! Includes hardshell case.
