Ibanez AR200 Artist Electric Guitar

The AR200 has the original thicker body shape of the '70s Artist models, to get the original fat Mahogany tone that first put the artist on the map. The Ibanez Artist was one of Ibanez' first original designs in the middle '70s when much of Ibanez's business was in making copies of other instruments. The guitar was originally conceived as a more affordable, more comfortably countoured double-cutaway alternative to Gibson's Les Paul*.
