The Ibanez AG features a slightly narrower body width than the more traditional AF models. Despite these compact dimensions, the consistent depth and genuine full hollow construction ensure a powerful, warm sound with full volume. The Artcore Expressionist series represents another milestone in Ibanez's commitment to hollow-body guitars. Over the years, Ibanez has enlivened the market with a variety of designs, from rocking semi-hollow hybrids to classic jazz boxes. What makes the Expressionist series special is that it features the original Super 58 pickups, which are also used on the signature models of George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield. These pickups are popular with jazz musicians and impress in a variety of musical situations with their warmth, balanced articulation, and excellent response. The three-piece nyatoh/maple neck provides a rich midrange and bass foundation as well as excellent resonance, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard delivers precise response, tight bass, and long-lasting sustain. Medium frets ensure an accurate playing feel. The mango wood body and top feature attractive grain and produce a natural, clear, and balanced tone. The Super 58 pickups offer medium output and classic vintage sound, while the Gibraltar Performer bridge ensures rich sustain and stable tuning. The instrument is rounded off by the VT06 tailpiece, which supports both tuning stability and a full, resonant sound. The AG Artcore Expressionist is therefore the perfect choice for musicians looking for a compact, fully hollow jazz sound with the highest precision craftsmanship.
