Description
Artcore AS93FM For more than a decade, Ibanez has continued to energize the hollow-body market with wide range of designs including everything from rockin' semi-hollow hybrids to straight-up traditional jazz-boxes. The Artcore Expressionist line established yet another chapter in the Artcore story. The Expressionist difference? Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58, the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield on their own Signature models.

Warmth, balanced articulation, and excellent response are defining characteristic the Super 58 pickups.

It's my second one.. It must mean something. It's true that as a lefty we don't have much choice. But it's a good guitar, quite comfortable, neck a bit "Gibson-like", a bit round and wide, but quite reasonable. The question I ask myself about the pickups is.... Are they really the same Super 58 as those used by the "stars" who use them???

I am a bit disappointed with some discomfort during gameplay due to a strap attachment system that prevents me from seeing the handle properly.........
