Spruce top with Sycamore back and sides. ART-W wooden bridge with VT60 tailpiece.

The Ibanez AK80 Hollow Body Electric Guitar features 3 Piece Artcore Mahogany and Maple Set-In Neck, a Spruce Top and Sycamore Back and Sides. Large-bodied jazz guitars reveal the love and craftsmanship of the old masters. The true full hollow AK continues this artisan tradition with respect and detail. Jazz and blues history is filled with the warm tones of large hollow body guitars.

Features
- Spruce top with Sycamore back and sides

- 3-piece Artcore Mahogany/Maple set-in neck

- ART-W wooden bridge with VT60 tailpiece

- ACH1 neck and ACH2 bridge pickup

- Chrome Hardware

The AK80 eschews the bright sound of maple tops and metal bridges, replacing them with a spruce top and an all-wood bridge. Faded, sepia-tinted photos show old jazz cats gathered together, jamming and grooving in a timeless swing.

I expect to keep this one forever. Would replace it if lost.
