DISC Ibanez ASV100DG-BKL Artstar Vintage Semi Acoustic Guitar

Full Description

Sapele

The ASV100DG-BKL is crafted from sapele which offers a consistent and balanced output. Its higher density is similar to mahogany and is compatible with a variety of playing styles. along with this tonewood, the guitar's hollow body is lightweight and can be played for longer, compared to a solid body. A pair of classic 'F' sound holes are also featured on the stunning spruce soundboard, and allows the natural sound to be projected acoustically. These elegantly cut holes, also provide a classic look that many guitarists associate with the 1950s era.

Super 58 Pickups

Artstar Vintage Semi Acoustic Guitar is perfect for jazz fans, with its choice of Super 58 Custom pickups that feature on George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield's signature models. This vintage choice of pickup delivers warm, balanced articulation, an excellent response, and a perfect tone for jazz guitarists.

Real Bone Nut Enhances Sustain

This road worn style guitar also features a bone nut which adds to its authentic appearance and offers excellent resonance and sustain. Another benefit of using a bone nut over modern materials is that a bone nut delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer, for the optimum performance.
