The Ibanez Artcore AF95TDGVLS features a flamed maple top back and sides, as well as a handsome clean white binding on body, headstock, and fingerboard. The fretboard is a rich rosewood contrasted by brilliant pearl block inlays. Carefully crafted set-in neck construction ensures body liveliness. Its 3-piece maple/mahogany neck has proven its reliability through the years on numerous Ibanez hollow and semi-hollow models. Guitarists will be able to animate their playing with the help of the VBF Vintage Vibrato -- the addition of a roller-bridge makes for a smooth performance.

Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58 Custom pickups -- the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield on their own Signature models. While the Super 58 Custom is favored by Jazz guitarists, Eric Krasno, a funk guitarist, has been proving the Super 58 Custom pickups are capable of much more, at home in a variety of genres.

For a decade now, Ibanez has energized the hollow-body segment with a wide range of designs -- with everything from rockin' hybrids to traditional jazz-boxes. The Expressionist line begins yet another chapter in the Artcore story. Built with tone woods selected for their beauty as well as their musicality, the Expressionist line covers the wide range of styles for which Ibanez hollow and semi-hollow bodies are known.
